Have you considered not masking the password at all?  Is it really necessary
on a handheld device?  Having a password swiped over your shoulder is a lot
less of a danger on a 4-inch screen compared to a 17-inch screen.  Also, if
you mask it then you should have two fields, just like in a desktop app, to
catch typos.  With a keyboard that's ok but with Graffiti, I'd be really
annoyed to have to blindly Graffiti the same thing in twice.  Just my
US$.02.
