Yeah, using hand writing to enter my pass code has become my default
now. Nice little feature and a bit more secure than using the virtual
numeric keypad.

HI all,
I pressed Windows key letter U to shut down my phone (Windows XP reference
for some reason (Smile)), and when I went to reboot, the password prompt
popped up as I configured it to do so. I then switched over to handwriting
mode and began to enter my 4-digit pass code. I was pleasantly surprised
that I was able to enter the pass code numbers and the phone did not repeat
the numbers. This means that when I unlock my iPod, no one else hears my pin
number. Very cool!
The bad news is that I also tried this trick in Dropbox password prompt, but
it would not accept this form of entry. :( Maybe I've gotta experiment a bit
more.
I also have a little tip for those who have decided they will stick with
handwriting... I've found that if I exaggerate the features of letters I'm
much more likely to enter them correctly. For example, if I draw a small
loop then a long vertical line to it's left, the handwriting feature will
more often then not correctly interpret this as the number 9. If I draw a
long vertical line then a small hill from left to right, it will be
correctly interpreted as a lowercase letter h. Try it for yourself, and with
a little practice you will find yourself writing out the whole alphabet
rather quickly.
I have also discovered that if one does not lift one's finger off of the
screen, one can also write letters like t and the letter x. The key is to
write the letter quickly, and to overlap the vertical plane then quickly
draw a perpendicular line (in the case of the letter t). Again, the faster
the better, and try not to introduce loops where lines should intersect. I
guess a good tip would be one of trying to reproduce the appearance of the
letter as faithfully as possible but never changing the structure of the
letter or lifting one's finger off of the screen.
Have fun.
Joseph
