Yes, this does relate to OSX... eventually.
I have a Handspring Visor and it is getting a bit old (not to mention beat up). I figure that I will replace it within the next 6 months. I am a med student, and want something that I can very quickly take notes on when interviewing patients in my clinical rotations.
Try as I may I am just not that accurate with graffiti. I have heard good things about the Pocket PC handwriting recognition. Is it true? I'd love to be able to write in cursive or just print quickly. My handwriting isn't that bad, but Jot and similar programs for the Palm don't get me.
My concern is in supporting yet another M$ attempt to dominate an industry. As zealous as I am for my Mac, I will buy the best product even if it is M$ based.
So my questions are primarily about the handwriting, but also about aps. Any med types use a WinCE (sorry, the PPC abbreviation has a higher purpose) handheld? Are there alternatives to ePocrates and such that fill the bill?
Lastly... here's where OSX comes in. How likely is it that I will be able to sync a WinCE handheld? Heck, right now I have to use my old W2K machine to sync my Palm, so I guess I could continue to do that should I get an iPac or something, but I'd prefer not to.
Thanks for the advice guys (even if you have nothing to do with medicine... the speed of entering text via handwriting is my #1 concern).
