Hello all,

here's my long-term dream of what I would like to have eventually ported to Onyx M92 or one of its successors:

A hand-writing recognition system coupled to REP-loop/editor of my/your dream interpreted dynamical language, like Scheme, Python, Ruby, Factor or R. That is, one could scribble down a function definition, execute/interpret it immediately, meaning in Lisp-like languages as soon as the user writes the matching closing parenthesis of (define ...), and get the results on the screen. And with a statistics package like R, could draw plots, and so on. Could port some spreadsheet as well.

And as we have a stylus, it should be much less primitive than with just touch-screen tablets. See for example what is proposed here:

So, reading all the previous messages in this thread, it seems that there are all kinds of problems before one could even start thinking developing anything like this.
But I hope that Onyx International or some other manufacturer would see the light, out of the current "e-readers are just for reading"-box, and start imagining what new kind of killer applications one could develop for this platform, if there were no artificial hindrances set up on the way.
