Handwriting capture suggestions
Im curious as to whether people can recommend any handwriting capture mechanism for use while traveling. One thing I have tried a bit is Phat Pad. I can write things with it and either save them or email them to my assistant for typing. The problem is doing on the screen of my TyTN is a bit tough.
Any other suggestions? One of these dedicated pads or a small tablet PC? Or maybe Phat Pad (which is pretty nice with the caveat above of the small size of the TyTn screen) on a larger device such as an HTC 7500/7501? Thanks for any suggestions.

I've tried the Logitech IO pen and have been tempted. It does require the use of special paper - but I really like the genuine pen & paper sort of feel.

The October 2nd PC Magazine has an interesting article about the Leapfrog Fly Fusion Pentop Computer. The article makes it sound like a device Tom Waits sings about. ("it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet") I'm tempted to buy one just to play with it. But my handwriting is messy, and apparently that limits its usefulness.
