My biggest peeve is the abandonement of the stylus on cell phones. Typing on these things is a throwback to a time way before dial-up, slow, slow, annoyingly error-prone. Samsung Note comes with a pen and they are making a big advertising splash, but guess what: it does not do handwriting recognition. I had to tell the friendly young man who was demoing the Note to me, and was camouflaging as much as he could the lack of handwriting recognition ("you know they blocked some apps for us"): "Thanks, changing colors on hand-drawn lines impressed me when the first Mac Color came out in late 1980s. Not so much today". Even Windows Mobile, which used to offer like 3 different handwriting algortithms, seem to have abandoned all of that in Win 7 mobile. Am I the only one missing the stylus? Am I the only one who enjoyed writing on the Palm? And my fingers aren't even that big, but my eyesight is not what it used to be.
