i had a metallic green visor twenty years ago. I remember reading books on it while going to school via metro

I'm still looking for a proper replacement. I used to have the palm in one pocket and the foldable keyboard in the other, and then I spent time writing in cafés and bookshops. (Does anyone remember real bookshops?)

I can find nothing like it today.

The handspring Visor.... Loved that thing. Sucker for translucent tech LOL.

What a great read!

Seeing the photo of the Palm screen listing "Graffiti" reminds me...

I could approach *thirty words per minute* with my Palm devices.

The trick was the well designed "shorthand" called Graffiti. Basically, every letter (with the exception of 'X') was a single stroke. It was genius! 👍 💕

On my iOS devices I can barely input three words without a typo... 🙄

>>>>> WHY ISN"T THERE A GRAFFITI INTERFACE FOR IOS?!?!? <<<<<

It would be SO much better than typing with my thumbs.

Searched and found this on an Apple forum...

"I'm with you on this request. I've tried several of the note-taking and handwriting apps for iOS but NOTHING is even close to the ease and efficiency that Palm Graffiti offered for handwriting recognition."

"Even Apple's old Newton handwriting system was better than anything out there right now."

Note the year 2014. No answers since then as far as I can tell?! 🤷‍♂️
