Actually... yes. The "HWR" on my Archos PMA430 somehow manages to suck even worse than Meamo's. In its (flimsy) defense, it's quite a lot older than my N800 as well.

And I believe there's some sort of threshold involved with HWR appreciation; below it different implementations will only be able to suck less or more; above lies HWR heaven, where you don't even notice you're writing stuff down. The border might be around PenOffice's level. Obviously only Newtons live in heaven.
