Penultimate is a note taking app (will probably evolve into a whiteboard) that allows you to write on page without the need for a keyboard. I have to say that writing with your fingers is fun but not so easy; the app has three levels of line thickness, but that doesn't really change the fact that you end up with having huge scribbles on the page. The developers recommend using stylus, a special pen device built for touch screens. Especially if you are having wrist problems, getting a stylus is a good investment (about 15-20$, check the recommend accessories within the app to see discounted brands). With Penultimate you can create multiple notebooks and pages. You can also share your notes via iTunes or e-mail.
