Have u ever felt your handwriting is becoming weird cuz of the long use of PDA? Once I was writing something on the real paper and I realized I was writing the way I did on the PDA. Its letter recognition should be improved. I'm never satisfied with it. I don't expect it to be able to recognize my friends' handwriting. They never understand why the high tech damned expensive thing doesn't bother to understand their handwriting.

(I'm talking about its Korean recognition. It's aweful.)
