(Palm offered a Notepad app in later models you could take handwritten notes in, but there was no attempt to recognize it as text. It simply stored it as an image.)

For something like the device discussed, I'd want a folding Bluetooth keyboard, similar to the IR model I use with my PDA, if I needed to take any volume of notes.

Yeah I know about Graffiti and have used it before but that is not what I was talking about. Your second example is what I would like, a device that can read your handwritten text (within reason). Not cursive by the way. I am sure we will get their one day.
