If it’s not already clear, this isn’t a particularly scientific experiment. If you performed the same tests you’d probably come up with different results depending on your proficiency with the various devices. But here are my results […]:
- Keyboard: 3′ 14″
- iPhone software keyboard: 4′ 56″
- Treo hardware keyboard: 5′ 23″
- Pen and paper: 5′ 33″
- Newton MessagePad: 9′ 17″
- Palm Graffiti: 12′ 16″

Interesting test. It’s a personal benchmark, not scientific at all, but still an interesting overview.
The most surprising part for me is seeing pen and paper so slow…
