Welcome Moroz!

The Pocket Pro does not have document marking up from within the device.

However, there are some new models coming out made by Jinke (same manufacturer as the Pocket Pro). These are called the A6 and the A9. Here is some more information about it (generous thanks go to Igorsk from this thread in the News and Commentary forum). Both models will have the option of either keyboard or touch screen (capacitive). I have marked up in magenta what may be of particular interest to you!
