I played with cellwriter a bit; not really usable in OS2008. The handwriting recognition is slow enough that it is faster to peck out the text on the onscreen keyboard with the stylus, mainly because my touch screen is just flaky enough that it cuts in and out at crucial moments, forcing me to redraw a lot of the letters (No, I meant "a" not "?"). Maybe you don't have that problem under booted Debian? I saw someone mention that the keyboard doesn't stutter as badly for them when running Debian instead of OS2008.
