I always wondered how come the iPhone never came with a handwriting recognition software app, I thought that this would have been a no brainer for the touchscreen phone, but it seems Apple thinks differently. I guess with their roll out plan and approved carriers they didn’t see the need for it. Hanwang.com.cn has stepped in and created the worlds first iPhone handwriting recognition software called HWPen.app

With emerging markets like Japan, China and Asia, where thousands of crazy alpha numeric characters are used in everyday communication, this may be a great asset. For now input is limited to your finger (doh) but the response is good and it is pretty accurate. If you would like to test it out, please add: http://iphonecake.com/src/ to your installer sources and look under iPhone Cake category and install HWPen.app
