Looks interesting. It's on its way. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

Confusion???
How do you use Graffitti?
I can see it taking the place of tapping, but I enter by Graffitti and don't want to switch to the pop-up keyboard. Am I missing something?

I don't know. That's my question as well.

Hi,
I picked one up at Best Buy last week. It uses double stick tape to keep it in place over the Graffiti area. There is a cutout in the tape for the cursor control area. 4 pieces are supplied but I was able to test it out before sticking it down. The pad fits Palm models as well as Visor so it has a curve on the bottom. It doesn't look as nice on the Visor as I would like. When it's in place I haven't figured anyway to use Graffiti. So there is no way to do a command stroke or the shortcut.
There is a driver for color as well as greyscale. The color driver has 3 cursor styles while there is only a box for the non-color. You can also set the speed the cursor moves, the size, and blink rate.
The buttons do work reasonably well. The cursor control works better for me in an up/down motion and less reliably in diagonal.
I placed it on my Neo that has my GPS receiver attached. I keep it in the Active Armor case. It works well for this. It didn't seem too handy to have on my Prism that I use at work since I enter alot of stuff by Graffiti.
I'll be interested to see what others think.
Brian

It sucked. I didn't use it more than 5 minutes. I thought I'd miss the ability to go full-screen, but the main problem was exceedingly poor implementation. Take the half a second to grab the stylus. You're not missing anything.

Thanks guys...good reviews!
Really, saved me the worry of missing something new and spectacular. As you can guess, I had reservations anyway and it seems they were well founded.
