The Zoomer has NO spell-checking facility. There is no library included
and the apps do not include it. I suppose you could transfer from
Ensemble the text file editor and the spell library, but that would not
help with native Zoomer apps. :-(

Again, this is a fairly glaring ommission. There is the capability of
doing this in the "events" screen of the date book, and there may be one
other app that does this, but NOT in notebook.
My recommendation is to drop $60 and install Graffiti. You will rarely
have the need to write in ink again.

I use my Zoomer as an organizer/note-taker. I have a 1mb SRAM card
installed with Graffiti, GeoCalc, the new text file editor, and most of
the apps from the Quick Shuffle card. I have set up a modified expert
mode that works quite well for me. I keep iconized Notebook for
note-taking in meetings, Datebook for keeping track of appointments,
GeoCalc just to show people that I have a hand-held spreadsheet (It's
really too slow on the Zoomer ;-), and Pyramid for those times that
require diversion. They are all just a quick "three-tap" away. I also
find that while I do use the file manager, I prefer to just use the
launcher menu. Just about everything you would need to start apps is
there.
That's about it. It's a great little note-taker and organizer. I have
fun poking at the other apps, but the ones mentioned above are the most
useful to me.
