Unfortunately for some of us, Writing Pad is no longer available in the U.S.
App Store. A quick Google search indicated that it may be a copyright issue
with the Swype folks?

My first thought was to give them each a copy of "The Inmates are
running the asylum" to read in advance, and use the workshop to
discuss the book.
But seriously, the important task is to change the focus from what
can we create for the users, to how can we help the users achieve
their goals.

Cheers, Dave.
Yes, I think the iPhone keyboard is hard to use -- in part because the
touchscreen is so sensitive. Luckily it often knows what I'm trying to
type, even if every letter is the one to the right of the one my fat
fingers are trying to hit. Also, I am getting better at it with
