Mac|Life’s Ray Aguilera gives a four-out-of-five star rating to WriteRoom iPhone, my favorite writing and note-taking app:

First off, the design is simple and clean. More importantly, rotating your iPod touch or iPhone 90 degrees brings up a larger, wider landscape keyboard. We found this larger keyboard to be considerably faster to type on, particularly for longer chunks of text.

He’s absolutely right about typing speed in landscape mode. WriteRoom has doubled the amount of time I spend using my iPhone, and made it a viable writing device for the time ever.
