I beg to differ. I think it's miles away from the Newt's handwriting
recognition experience.
HanWang's handwriting recognition for the iPhone is more akin to Graffiti
than the ParaGraph/Apple recognizer we've come to appreciate.
I would love nothing more than to have embedded HWR on the iPhone but Apple
has really fallen behind (whether by choice or not is another matter
altogether) in this field. I won't hold my breath for this to happen
anytime soon.
