I have a MP 120 and really am disappointed at it's handwriting recognition.
I believe it's Newton OS 2.0. I can write much faster with pen/paper and I
can only get 90% accuracy. My problem is my scrawl is a cross between prin=
t
and cursive. My letters looks like printed letters but I rarely pick up th=
e
pen and the Newton gets confused when I select "printing" but if I choose
cursive, it really has trouble interpreting the letters. Does anyone have
any tips? Or should I just upgrade to a MP 2100?
