I'm hoping someone can comment on whether there are good quality handwriting recognition apps available for android tablets yet.

I'm very tempted by some of the new functionality, but if I were buying a tablet I'd want to be able to use it as an ultraportable computing device rather than just a reader and I have a severe repetitive strain injury that makes typing at any length, including on an on-screen keyboard, not very feasible. I have voice recognition software on both my home and work computers, but that obviously wouldn't be very practical for sending e-mails or drafting reports on the move.

I did get to experiment with the Windows for tablet PC handwriting recognition system a couple of years ago and I thought it was fantastic, but the hardware/software never seemed to take off; the fact that the android tablets are so lightweight is what attracts me to them.

To be quite clear, I'm explicitly looking for something that can handle any reasonably neat handwriting, either straight out of the box or by learning a particular user's style, rather than something like graffiti where the user has to learn an entirely new set of keystrokes.

Thanks
