  • Today I bought an hp iPAQ. I thought it might be useful to use it to make notes towards adding to my blog. It requires a real hunt and peck method of inputting text. It also uses predictive text so that it`s possible to save a few keystrokes. It certainly seems a versatile machine. I`ve fancied one for ages. Now I have one. I used to have an early Palm Pilot with Graffiti. I did become reasonably proficient with that but it did occasionally decide not to recognise my pen strokes. To a degree the iPAQ seems more accurate and a little faster. I will need to watch when I`m hitting the spacebar as it`s too easy to miss and hit the control that enlarges the text and removes the keyboard.
