Comments on: Instant Text Mobile for Palm OS

1. It slows down my graffiti recognition while it's thinking about alternatives. Just slightly, but enough to frustrate me.

2. My problems with this (and other) text input helps is that it forces you to look at your PDA while inputing text. One of the great strengths of graffiti is that you don't have to move your hand - you can look anywhere if you keep your hand in the right spot. ie at a presentation you can be looking at the speaker while jotting down notes.

3. I find myself constantly pausing to scan the bottom of the screen every second character to see if my word has come up. When my word isn't there, this kinda slows things down. I imagine with some training to the app, these pauses would be less frequent and a larger glossary would yield more exhaustive results.

I like the concept as it forces correct spelling. The feel of it is similar to auto-word completion in Openoffice (a feature that I like). For a new user to Palm struggling with graffiti, this application would be a God-send.
