I find trying to type on an iPhone to be quite annoying, and although the "keys" will be larger on the iPad, I don't see the experience being that much better.

Do you actually own an iPhone though? Most people find typing on an iPhone to be annoying for the first few days, but then they get used to it and after a while, it becomes second-nature.
A buddy of mine swore up and down that he would never get an iPhone, because whenever he'd use mine to look something up, it would take him forever to type on it. Eventually, though, he got more and more used to it and now him and his wife both have one.
Typing on the iPad will be a lot easier than most non-iPhone people realize.
Edit: I'd love a handwriting app too. I can see a few uses for it, but I wouldn't really consider it a show-stopper. Also, this thing isn't even launched yet. The SDK was only released a couple days ago. There are going to be a ton of apps built specifically with the iPad in mind between now and launch day. I'm pretty positive that some of them will even involve some form of handwriting recognition.
