If the speed of note-taking is key, another option would be to take
handwritten notes on the BB Sync, and then sync the resulting PDFs via
Bluetooth with iPad, PC, Evernote etc. But this leaves the notes in
handwritten form, which may not be ideal if one needs to be able to
search that text etc.

In my quest to find handwriting input that works, I'm hoping that the makers of the BB Sync enable its output to work with MyScript, a single firm that is the equivalent of Nuance voice-recognition in the handwriting-recognition market. I can't remember who - but it was possibly you Dr A on this forum - pointed out that somewhere in their online promotional material BB had not discounted that possibility. I think the BB Sync's predecessor, called the BB Rip (?), now withdrawn, did create files that could be converted into digital text with a MyScript application. But of course, much continues to hang on MyScript's software really cracking the job of reducing the error rate for handwriting conversion.

faster due to improvements, as opposed to degrade it, as is the case
with iOS, Windows etc. updates. But it certainly hasn't slowed a bit
since January, when I bought it.
