Fitaly Now Available For Windows Tablet PC
http://fitaly.com/board/fsbetaforum/posts/84.html
One of my favorite apps for the Pocket PC makes perfect sense on a Tablet PC and is now available in a beta. Fitaly! Now you can tap away with blazing speed using the same input method on both of your mobile devices. 
"We are pleased to announce the availability of this b1 beta version of a Fitaly2003 keyboard for the Tablet PC. This Fitaly version can be used also on Windows 2000 and Windows XP but it starts making sense if you can use a pen instead of the mouse."

Not on a slate-style Tablet PC that doesn't have one. :wink: I think that's the point here.

Ahhhh.... I gets it!!
I wonder how comfortable FITALY could be on a much larger TabletPC. It works great on the PPC but I attribute some of that to being able to hold the device in one hand and operate with the other.

I was wondering how long it was going to take for this to happen...
As a *very* recent "almost" convert to Fitaly after years of resistance I am very glad that I took the plunge last week and purchased it. Already my speed has surpassed my Graffiti/Block Recognizer, and is even faster than my sped with "Keyboard." I still feel that I am faster with Transcriber but that may just be the sense from completing whole words at a time. (I used up the entire 30 demo for Fitaly for practice and to see if I could really do it...)
(And no, I haven't run Fitaletris lately to see how fast I've become...)

I have used several types of input methods and this, in my opinion, is the best there is. The only down side is the learning curve that most people will probably resist. That is a shame...the user will have less frustration learning FITALY versus trying to deal with the built in character rec.

practice, practice, practice... downloading the fitaly letris is good tool (available on their site)...
The fitaly website also has a forum and some faqs (i think) on how to acclimate yourself to fitaly. You'll first need to memorize where all the keys are and get to a point where you can tap words and sentences without giving much thought to where each letter is located. There are common letter sequences that show up often that are good to practice, you'll find a lot of those in the letris program... but basically it took me about an hour or two of practice drills before it became my quickest method of input.

Actually, it just occured to me that Fitaly Letris might not be available for the Tablet PC. In that case, check the tips on their forums and faqs (which is actually how I learned).
