It is difficult, but you can get good at it with some practice. What's available on pocketPC's: - handwriting recognition. It's pretty good if you have fairly legible handwriting. It can also be trained.
- visual keyboard hunt and peck. It puts a kb on the screen for you to top.
- block recognition and letter recognition. These are similar to Palms system.
Lastly, you can buy a real thumb keyboard.
I'm doing better on the input stuff, but still stop and say a few heated words from time-to-time in frustration. It's slow going.
The PocketPC system is better than the Palm system. I never was able to get very much data input into the Palm. I picked up the pocketpc system within a few hours, but still working on mastering it.
You are going to transcribe the Iliad on it, but it works ok for short notes and emails.
