After using Crapfitti for a couple of years when I was using a Palm OS
device, I would prefer a small keyboard for input as well! ;-)
If you will note, Handspring is offering two models, one with a small
keyboard and the other with a Grafitti input area.
Also, the Treo is a phone. And it is much easier to use a keyboard to
look up and dial numbers than to pull out a stylus to retrieve the
information. So sure, it makes sense to have a keyboard input method on
the Treo.
As for a PDA, after 2 years of using Crapfitti I really enjoy using the
Newt.
The Newt gives me a freedom where I no longer need to memorize a work
around character input method. Writing in a normal way beats Crapfitti
by a mile. I doubt I will ever be going back to Crapfitti.
