iPhone may get handwriting recognition - think your chubby fingers can cope? - Tech Digest
According to a number of reports, the iPhone (three iPhone stories in one day you say?) could soon get handwriting recognition. That's based on the interpretation of a recent job advertisement which calls for a full-time "Handwriting Recognition Engineer" to work at Apple HQ in Cupertino. The successful candidate will be responsible for "advancing Apple's handwriting technology for Mac OS X" -- which shouldn't be difficult given that the current attempt (Inkwell) is pretty shabby. However, it appears that "the recognition technology... may extend beyond Mac OS X to other applications and the iPhone"...
