You're in semi-uncharted territory for me. I gave my dad my old x51v and installed PCMK on it. It's still very responsive, but honestly, a lot of the utility also comes from the skin that you get for it because mine has as fantastic layout. It's actually a lot like using a real keyboard with the shortcuts it has built in. If you love Graffiti I'm assuming you've already tried or own Calligrapher? But how about TenGo? I think you might actually enjoy using TenGo a lot if you're used to rapid stylus movement. I had a LOT of fun just typing words out with that software. I take back what I said about me being a PCMK fanboy. I'm a SIP fanboy. I'm going to give my wife a SIP instead of a ring. I'm going to name my firstborn child SIP. Godspeed, Lauren!

I've basically got one skin in my arsenal. Don't laugh, but I'm actually a Graffiti girl. My first PDA was a Palm m100 (yes, this was a while ago), and I got really good with the funny truncated letters to the point where I'm way faster inputting that way than stylus-tapping the built-in keyboard, or any other method I've found yet. Still, I want to cut back on my stylus use in places where it isn't really necessary, so this week will be my Great Keyboard Experiment. I'm dropping Graffiti cold turkey and seeing how bad the withdrawal is. I’m giving PCMK a try on your recommendation, Ragart, but the VERY limited amount of VGA support is frustrating.

I've tried it myself on my friend's, and I actually prefer PCMK to the real thing. I feel like my delicious Chinese knock-off LEGO is more functional and easier to use. I am such a PCMK fanboy. But I still swear I'd use something better if I saw it. I'm always willing to be surprised with PDA stuff, especially SIPs. funny thing is , until this latest 1.13 update, I heard that the iPhone didn’t really have multi-touch in its keyboard.

Resco emailed me back and told me they'd fixed the .cab file so that the demo would work properly (kept telling me trial was up!), but I am fine with what I was able to try. I'd put the keyboard just a bit above ZoomBoard's level. It's faster and easier to hit with touch typing (for me, anyway), but it definitely has a lag to the keystrokes that I don't get in PCMK. CooTek recently upgraded TouchPal to 2.0 and I haven't tried that out yet. I think that'll be my next SIP experiment after I hard reset my device tonight. hahaha, yeah, the gestures can be tricky.
