Not wanting to call it silly :-), but I think the major ad-
vantage of any electronic thingy compared to pen and paper
is that you can rearrange the structure and correct any mis-
takes you make. I wouldn't want to have to pen down any text
without this capability.

I dont think a (completely :) silly idea. A smartphone will probably
never substitute pen and paper!

In fact most of my notes are taken on a notepad with a an attached
pen. In fact, I have just found a pen with an internal mechanism which
turns it long enough when I write and short enough to do not pierce my
trousers.

If you do such a miracle I would be glad to try (not in a beta
phase!). But I feel the efforts will be hardly rewarded.

The write process is good for the mind and is prone of errors. When we
transcript the text to an editor (in fact to THE editor) we correct
some mistakes.

Anyway, keep in touch!

Daniel
