I haven't been able to keep up on all the iPhone talk so I'm wondering what people think about the lack of handwriting recognition and Inkwell?
I'm sure Apple has done there research, heck just looking at the sales of Blackberry and Treo devices is probably enough research. But, with a multi-function device like the iPhone I would really like to also have the ability to jot down a quick note or shopping list or web address. Just small, quick tidbits of text that I'd probably rather not hunt and peck type in. Handwriting recognition would be nice but even just digital ink would be cool.
Is this the final death for Inkwell (the last thing kicking from the Newton)?
It looks as if pen-based input and handwriting recognition in computing devices is now only left to signature capture and some vertical apps (medical, architecture, field sales reps, UPS).
