Newton-style handwriting recognition on the iPhone
April 18th, 2008 by iPhone AtlasThose waxing nostalgic for Apple's Newton can take comfort in a new unofficial third-party application for the iPhone that can recognise handwriting (fingerwriting?) and turn it into typed text.
Dubbed -HWPen," (and described in this -modmyifone" thread) the application was developed by Hanwang.com.cn to allow Chinese character input on the iPhone, but the program works equally well with English input.
In order to install thie HWPen, follow iPhone Atlas' guide for enabling third-party apps on the iPhone, then use Installer.app to add the source: iphonecake.com/src/all.
To add a source (as also described in the guide), tap -Sources," button, then tap -Edit" in the upper-right corner, and finally -Add" in the upper-left corner. Enter the URL of the source you would like to add and press -OK." Installer.app will add the source, and you will be able to find the new application(s) in the normal -Install" menu.
The nightmare with Vodafone continues! I ordered an iPhone the day after they were released from the Vodafone shop - Moved my Optus account to Vodafone and waited to upgrade to the iPhone plan (as advised to me by the Vodafone shop assistant) - 3 days later was hit with a $550.00 internet usage charge on a phone I was using that doesn't have internet access - was still waiting for my iPhone to arrive. Gave up with Vodafone - too many excuses blaming Apple for everything. they even said the phone wasn't going to be locked but they are - these people are lying to everyone and then trying to lock you into a 2yr contract - Beware!! Even if you want to get out of the contract for poor service etc... Vodafone wont care - you have to pay the full contract exit fee's. If you complain they just hang up on you - Vodafone Custoemr Care = Customer Dont Give a F#@K
