Yes, you get good at it and with practice, it is quicker and more reliable than groping all over the virtual keyboard on the screen. Good in noisy environments when you can't hear the feedback of what you're touching on screen. It's not quite a real keyboard, but it offers that kind of assurance of you know what you're doing without having to be prompted or confirmed every step of the way. That's the real benefit. I think the 3 modes you switch on the rotor would be a great advance on all edit fields to be honest, but that's asking too much. But, and I do do this, do the writing in TIB, copy to clipboard as a basic option, then go to the real app and paste straight into the field. It has basics already like sms, email, twitter and facebook; and just use the clipboard feature after that.
I started off a bit cynical, but some of the greatest advocates started there too.

Anyone have any real-world feedback to share?
