Hopefully there are some, as the on screen keyboard does seem a bit
sketchy to me (never tried it).

Still, I must point out, that Inkwell isn't so great either. It
hasn't seen any upgrades since Newton, and Apple has put very little
effort into it.

I think your point is good though, that other text entry methods
could be a big deal on this platform...
