I don't usually use a PC, so I haven't tried it. One of these days I'll try my Readiris OCR, which also supposedly will convert handwriting to text.
The iLiad does not "correct" your input in any way. The speed is ok. I don't find the display refresh rate to be a problem when writing notes, but creating a new page can slow me down. Because the iLiad uses a wacom screen with a special stylus, you don't have to worry about stray marks from your hand, watch, etc. Recent community developer efforts have enabled pen calibration and support for a 3-button stylus, though these still need some testing and smoothing out.
I have to say, the Newton was/is still the best portable electronic note-taking device created. Only the inconveninence of retrieving the data keeps me from continuing to use mine on a regular basis (I still pull it out every now and then).

How can it be that no one yet has been able to match the Apple Newton feat of 15years ago?
