Apple is developing a handwriting recognition software bundle, according to a report by Matt Rothenberg over at ZDNet. Nicknamed
Inkwell, it would appear that the software was conceived for use on the now discontinued Apple Newtons.
According to Rothenberg's sources, the software will have a control panel, some help features and a shared library. Users will input
data using a pen like device writing on a pressure sensitive tablet. Apple is working with the tablet manufacturers, Wacom, to
ensure compatibility. The product is thought to be in the pre-release testing stage under the code name "Rosetta Stone".
