He only did a very quick demo of handwriting. It was like he wrote one word that was only four letters, and he had his hand covering what he was doing the whole time. I wonder if that was intentional slight of hand for marketing purposes? Then, after he wrote it, he had to like go back over the letters and redraw them.

No... of course not. Just being able to save my handwriting as an image for now would be good.

There's decent handwriting recognition software out now. I've never seen it on a portable device like an e-reader or a tablet, but I've seen it work really well on a PC. Might require more processing power than available on a portable device? A guy with a Wacom tablet hooked up to his PC was showing it to me a few months ago.
And, they had shorthand type handwriting recognition on Palm devices (remember that company?) a long time ago, it was called graffiti. The original Apple device that was a precursor to the Palms had their own shorthand that people loved and raved about, it was called Rosetta.
