I'm sure there will be plenty of those, and I'd bet on the best features of them creeping into non-commercial apps later, which will be a good thing.

I don't challenge the beginning of your comment... it's clearly a preference thing, and in most cases, hopefully you'd have the choice of keyboard, handwriting, handwriting with text-reco, etc.

I will say that clipboard-type uses (work orders, checklists, etc) can easily be made to work with an on-screen keyboard and basic finger or stylus gestures, including typing. They have been writing-based in the past, but they don't need to remain that way with the new technology.
