I do some of my best brainstorming while driving in my car.
I often scribble notes on my Newton and let the HWR do its thing. I love being able to watch the road and traffic while carefully writing on my Newton sitting on my lap, obediently capturing my thoughts. I keep my writing area toward the bottom 1/3 or so of the screen so as not to reposition the caret up top, and I adjust the pace of my handwriting to allow for the words to be recognized and schlepped to the top of the note page without interference from me. Sometimes, I set the input mode to digital ink to assure myself that no words will be misrecognized--I just defer the recognition until later when I can do a select-all-double-tap.
OTOH, when I'm on my motorcycle, I can't write, because I'm right-handed and the throttle is on the right. So a ([an] environmentally protected) single-handed keyboard atop the tank would be a great addition.
