Well, to sell iPhone in China/Taiwan/HongKong, handwriting is a must-have. Without it, it's very hard to penetrate in the business circle.
Unfortunately the iPhone SDK is so restrictive, it's very hard for a third party company, like ours, to port handwriting apps to iPhone.
Does anyone know Apple's plan for handwriting recognition?

Handwriting recognition just isn't going to happen. Voice recognition is far more likely and practical for this sort of device. But even that has a long way to go.
Thank you for your info. It looks like that they are going in that direction.
BTW, our company Penpower has been marketing our handwriting recognition software on Mac from Mac OS 8, 9 to Mac OS X. We focus on Chinese/Japanese/Korean handwriting recognition.

The name is familiar.
Good luck with this. I hope it doesn't put a crimp in your plans. possibly, it might even help, if they add some frameworks and API's, you can use.
If it had some form of hand writing recognition, actually that from ANYBODY would be sweet...
Cough Apple Cough
somebody at apple needs to use the time that steve jobs is on hiatus to break into the hidden, buried, welded-shut vault that houses the remains of the newton and sneak the handwriting recognition to the ipod/iphone people (don't laugh! it worked, right around the time it got killed).
While they're in there, have a peek at how 'cut & paste should be done on a mobile device, take a look at apples integrated office package for the newton, global search (find elvis!) and familiarize themselves with the concept of an external keyboard to make serious typing usable.
oh... don't get too excited about the emate labeled devices you'll find. they are NOT apple's netbook prototypes...

Apple has had software for this purpose for years. It's called Ink.

It is only working in Mac, and I don't think it's for Asian languages. Does it work on iPhone？ Is there any info about handwriting on iPhone?
