The writepads and annotations to pdf docs generally work with no noticeable delay when writing, in my opinion, though the merging software that comes with the companion software is poor. (It's very "blocky")

The iliad may be better, but as I don't have one I cannot comment on that. It uses different methods to store its scribbles and merging than the DR.
By "merging software" you mean software the combines the annotations you've been making with the document for transfer to say, a PC, or printing or something, right?

So you recommend the Xournal application? And without that, there would not be an on-screen keyboard? Does installing that app make an onscreen keyboard available just for use with that app, or will it allow me to use one to "type" annotations on .pdfs or other documents? I know handwriting would be quicker for most people but it would almost certainly be worth the awkward typing for me if I had a virtual keyboard.
