How do you access the touch-screen? Does it appear to be a mouse? What do you use for console input (keyboard)? Do you have a plan for hardwriting recognition? I would like a general purpose handwriting recognizer that supplies input just like a keyboard, useable by standard applications. Not for a text editor or word processor, more as a way to get input into a text input widget, like a File Save As dialog box, without rewriting the dialog box code. Have you found anything like that?
