BlackBerry Pearl users can now transfer handwritten notes into their handhelds using a digital pen and paper.

Reinventing the wheel, are we? Or building a better mousetrap?
Mind you that people have forgotten the art of writing. I am learning Chinese and have to say it took me a while getting used to using a pen again as I only use computers these days.

This is only useful if one could actually /see/ what is written. Looking at an empty piece of paper after a frantic writing session is something I am not looking forward to...
