Well, that exactly *is* the question. The iPhone has such a tiny
screen, that even if we had a stylus, HWR would be close to
impossible. Now using my finger on my iPhone, I *can* write somewhat
legible (in huge letters, compared to a Newton screen), but I have
close to no control, where my writing is going. The next issue would
be hitting a standard Newton button shrunk to the iPhone screen with
my not-so-stylus shaped finger.
Everybody seems so happy with the touch interface that nobody has come
up with some fine-tipped stylus yet. Maybe it is impossible to do on
the iPhone?
