I can't type chinese, that's the problem. i heard its a lot harder than typing in English/normal alphabets. i think those pads will help. (i feel ashamed when some of my friends icq/msn me in chinese, and i reply in english )

Its similar to typing in Japanese, I'm not sure of the rules, but try Big5, simplified input.

After you know the basic rules, its fairly easy to work out - though it helps if you get your hands on a Chinese keyboard.

That's also assuming you can read or write Chinese in the first place.

Cute device. Don't any PDAs have such pen capability (512 levels)?

I don't see how a tablet will help with that, unless there's really good Chinese handwriting recognition software around.

FWIW, I've looked into what it takes to type Japanese, and it doesn't seem hard at all - just a bit tedious. I'm a loooong way from being able to make use of that though....

Edit: D'oh! Didn't see there was a second page...
