Huh? That's the great thing about PDAs, I thought; writing Japanese is
so much easier on them (and good kanji practice, too). The only major
one I know of that does not do direct kanji input out-of-the-box is the
Palm Pilot (and of course the Clie and other clones), and even for that
you can get a program that will let you do it. (Or don't all of the MS
ones do it? Maybe it was just my Cassiopea.)
I think the Japanese goverment should start a program to make sure that
every computer and keitai has a pad on which you can write kanji for
input. It would reverse the general Japanese decline in ability to write.
