Thanks all for the Command Navigator/Personal Menu recommendation. Personal Menu is a great app, much better than my old Simple Launcher.

HOWEVER, it still leaves me wanting a macro typing tool. It would be such a boon for the tablet. Here is fiferboy's reply to my question about using Personal Menu for form filling (fiferboy is PM's creator):

GeraldKo: If you could find a macro program that would do that, you would be able to launch the macro from personal menu. I don't know of any macro typers for Maemo, but if you find a good, lightweight Linux one there is a possibility of a port.
So, I'm still looking for takers! I swear, if you have a Windows box to try out TypeItIn, you'll be delighted about what a great time-and-hassle-saver it can be. Especially when you don't have a full-size keyboard handy. (Like when you're traveling light with your NIT and need to fill in all this hotel reservation info, when you're shopping online ... )

(I'm thinking about making some comments here about the iPod Touch and how it compares to the NITs, just to keep the thread alive until some developer gets the bug to code a macro typing tool. )
