The Freewrite is a very convenient tool! My girls are of a literary bent as well as myself and during their commute to work, the Freewrite has proved extremely useful to write everything from novels, to newsletter articles and even letters to friends. I am very impressed with the product. One issue that hasn't proved to be too big of a hurtle is the latency when typing. For touch typists like my daughters the halting text is a bit distracting but not prohibitive. Perhaps in future editons of this project this aspect might be imprved.
