Digimemo, Cyberpad or iLiad?

[Lin Chung]

This is for jotting down notes and writing letters. I find typing the
keyboard stifles and slows down my thinking process or the flow of thoughts.
Transferring a handwritten note to the PC and letting the PC to convert that
into a digital editable form is tedious and time consuming. So, when I came
across these devices, I was interested.

Digimemo: The market leader at the moment, I think. Are the ink cartridges
the regular inexpensive 2" polythene tubes available everywhere? Its own
cartridges are about £1 each. It will be rather costly in the long run if
they
cannot be substituted. I can't think of any other downside of this device
at this stage, except its cost, around £90.

Cyberpad: Almost identical to the above. Marginally cheaper.

iLiad: Primarily an eBook reader, and a very desirable one as a reading
device, but it also has a writing functionality used as an aid to it's
primary function. More for annotation on the material (e.g. eBook)
currently on screen, than as writing on a blank screen. The graphics appear
not as they are being 'written' but after a slight hesitation (of
?computation time), so this might still produce the same stifling result as
in typing, I imagine. No ink used here. Expensive at ~£450.

Anyone has experience in using these and can share his/her experience?
Maybe, students at lectures, or businessmen at conferences/business meetings
using these devices?

Forgot to add, the handwriting recognition software (OCR) for the Digimemo
and the Cyberpad is £35.
