Hi,

It seems to me Android could really use some good handwriting recognition software for Android tablets. Can you tell me if you know which is the best software available for Android today and do we expect Google to come out with any and if so, when? The two I’ve seen so far are PenReader and MobileWrite. Thanks for your help – Joe” http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/9538/access-releases-graffiti-for-android/
