Totally agree on this point.  I think momentum (and friction) is one  
thing the iPhone does amazingly well in the interface that has yet to  
be duplicated correctly on any other platform.  It'd be a shame not  
to take advantage here (especially for your example of a large graph).

Fonix was supposed to be creating some sort of voice recognition API  
for games on the iPhone, but I don't know any details at all.  I  
think it is more of a command thing than a voice-to-text thing.

I can envision using this program to create small charts during  
research meetings at lunch, where a pen and pencil is cumbersome once  
food comes out.  Engineers really like charts :)  I agree that  
viewing already created charts and modifying these charts is probably  
going to be a primary use for most.
