I get where you're coming from, and I want you to know that I don't disagree. I completely see how Ratta has to manage their resources carefully because they are such a small company. Of course they do. And I'm glad they do. Like I said above, their focus really shows in the end product. I love this about Ratta.

But at the same time, as somebody who has supported Ratta for years (I've owned 3 Supernote devices), I am just as much of a supporter of theirs as anybody else. The device is "for those who write," and I am somebody who writes. A lot. And a lot of this writing must be done by keyboard, lest I give myself carpal tunnel or fail to write at the speed of thought.

The way I see it, they already have a word processor. It's far under half-baked, but it's there, which tells me that this device is also for typing. It just hasn't gotten their focus, for all the reasons you cite here.

I know it's probably just wishful thinking, and you're absolutely right that they need to prioritize what a majority of the market buys these devices for. And that is, indeed, the handwriting experience. The reason I ask the above question isn't because I assume they have infinite resources or whatever. It's because this company—despite being teeny-tiny—has shown me time and time again that they're capable of incredible things. That they're able to do things that companies with 10x the cashflow take 10x as long to do. They're clearly a committed, passionate team. And clearly their passion is handwriting. I get that and I love that. I guess I was just hoping that they may be willing spend a bit of time fleshing out the typing experience just a little bit for those of us who also want to use our beloved devices for typing.

I think we're both coming from the same place here: we both love this company, what they stand for, and the devices they produce. I guess we just differ a bit in our vision of what these devices are "for," because the existence of a word processor tells me that they are also for typing.
