Oh, that would be nice! Just a single little line to print on, not some micro-mini-tiny-key keyboard (like the current xkbd) or some spacehogger. It would be great not just for crossword puzzles but for other xkbd-dependent apps, like the Links2 browser, which I would use sometimes but for xkbd being such a pain.

As for Graffiti versus Nokia's handwriting recognition, Graffiti is lightyears ahead. Even trying Graffiti within the Access Palm (Garnet) emulation on the N800, it was a pleasure, with virtually no practice. What comes with the Tablets, OTOH, I found to be too big a hassle, even after putting time in to train it.

I would expect that Graffiti has some sort of intellectual property protection that may make it illegal to imitate. I don't know, and I hope I'm wrong, but I wonder if they received patent protection for the entire idea of modifying the writing of the letters of the alphabet, which is a critical part of what makes it work so well.
