Hi, thanks for the nice tool. If you are looking for some good ideas, there were a tool called inkwp for the Sharp Zaurus. I am missing that so much. It was developed by a japanese guy and so there is not much documentation/ information in english about that tool.
It is still out there and from the screenshot maybe you get some idea, what it ist about.

In short, you can do handwriting but it is enhanced with some kind of autozoom. So you write a little big bigger an it resize your writing to the line. This will allow you to have a better handwriting.
There is also carriage return, backspace, and space you can use within handwriting,
I am not really familiar with the buildsystem/ SDK of maemo, but there are still the Bitbakes from inkwp available:

Code:

DESCRIPTION = "Inkwp - a handwriting note take application for Qt/Embedded based palmtop environments."
SECTION = "opie/applications"
PRIORITY = "optional"
LICENSE = "GPL"
HOMEPAGE = "http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Oakland/4550/inkwp.html"
SRC_URI = "http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Oakland/4550/inkwp-${PV}.tar.gz"
S = "${WORKDIR}/inkwp"
inherit palmtop
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${palmtopdir}/apps/Applications/
install -d ${D}${palmtopdir}/bin/
install -d ${D}${palmtopdir}/pics/inkwp/
install -m 0755 inkwp ${D}${palmtopdir}/bin/
install -m 0644 InkWp.png ${D}${palmtopdir}/pics/
install -m 0644 *.png ${D}${palmtopdir}/pics/inkwp/
install -m 0644 inkwp.desktop ${D}${palmtopdir}/apps/Applications/
}

If you want to build and try to get some inspiration. I also have a running version on my SL 5500, but not sure how to get screencap movie from that device.
Hier also a report translated by google:
Inkwp on Zaurus report

I made a very poor video of the application running on my old Zaurus so you get an idea about the application.
Would be really nice to have such functionality in PenPen running on N900.
