Thanks for the input sofar.
Is there a version of Graffitti or Jot that is ported to the Z that could get around the issue. I've heard of recalibrating the handwriting system to accept Graffitti gestures, but anything else out there??
Cheers,

Ahh, another former Newton user. Yes, those days of writing anywhere on the screen were great!
Alas, I have tried several times to go to single handed note taking, and always reverted back to my IR keyboard, because it is so fast, and I can maintain eye contact while touch typing. Something I can't do when doing single handed note taking.
That said, there is the "handwriting" and "pickboard" entry methods built into the Z (standard ROM). They aren't bad. The handwriting does take a little getting used to, because it is actually a multi-stroke entry (rather than the old graphiti single stroke). So characters like K are actually three strokes rather than a funky 1 stroke backwards/sidways cursive e.
I find if I am in a group meeting, and I want to catch everyone's name (single handedly) I use an app called DrawPad, which is kind of like digital ink, without the automatic conversion to text (you have to go back and read your handwriting).
Would have been nice if Apple had spun Newton out. Perhaps it would be kicking butt in the PDA market these days.
Still the Zaurus is pretty nice little note taking machine (with an IR keyboard).
