Won't install on OS < 3.1.
I wish there was a release for 3.0 firmware. I am in no hurry to upgrade to 3.1

This sort of attitude is why we're still forced to support IE 6
There's at least somewhat of a good reason for still supporting some version of FW 2.0 - the iPod touch, which has a fee for upgrading to a major version.
Neat, but he already had me at "Dan Bricklin..."
Wish the writing scale were adjustable with standard multitouch 'zoom' gestures (rather than a 3-way toggle).
The auto-advance-region could include some mirroring of the rightmost connecting ink, to get the spacing/connections right. (Or perhaps, every pen lift could cause a recentering on the lift-point?)
Would love thicker pens (and maybe even fills or other colors).

Wish it does OCR!
The biggest problem with Dan's app for me is that I can only produce a couple of consecutive characters before I have to break my flow. I constantly max out the jotting space and reach the rightmost end of the screen. Continuing to write to the left of the characters I just produced is so very, very unintuitive. I'd rather the characters I've finished writing automatically shift to the left so that my typing area is always in the middle of the screen. This way I wouldn't have to actively look for an empty space to jot my next character.
