That was my first attempt at trying my just-purchased palmOne Tungsten E‘s handwriting recognition capabilities. (It was supposed to be “This is an attempt to try”, in case you were wondering.)
I got the PDA from MyGadgets in Low Yat Plaza for RM788. As usual, my woeful attempts at bargaining amounted to naught. The salesman did throw in a RM69.90 USB cable slash charger—he claimed the USB cable bundled with the PDA couldn’t trickle charge the PDA but that’s not what the T|E manual says—and he did throw in a screen protector and a CD-ROM filled with bootleg Palm OS software. The Palm OS freeware scene has everything I need so I have no intention of chancing bad karma by installing the bootlegged software but I appreciated the screen protector.
I installed the Palm Desktop and associated programs on my PC and my first HotSync—this would be the fancy term palmOne uses for “connecting the PDA to the PC”—went without a hitch. I then installed the updates from palmOne’s support page and things seem to be A-OK.
I’m well aware of the problems some users have had with the T|E but I’m reasonably optimistic things will be fine. Besides, MyGadgets is offering a no-hassle replacement within the first 30 days and palmOne is offering a 12 month guarantee so I think I’m covered.

You have to bear in mind I hadn’t bothered to look up the strokes the handwriting recognition software requires before my first attempt. The handwriting recognition is pretty good once you’ve put in some practise. I prefer to input text via the virtual keyboard, though.
