I think they mean that a plastic stylus will not work with a capacitive touch panel rather than handwriting recognition itself (the assumption being that you will want to write with a plastic stylus so as not to scratch the display). The plastic stylus will work with the resistive touch panel but the light transmission is too low to use on a reflective display. If it is only 80% transmissive and the light has to pass through it twice then one third of the light is lost.
