It's far easier to write when standing and only having one hand free than typing. Typing isn't panacea, and I really enjoyed the handwriting on the Newton devices because once trained it worked flawlessly, quickly and seamlessly.
Bravo for Google- I may start carrying around a stylus once again.

Not true, as long-time Newton users like myself will attest to. I could enter text a LOT faster on my MP2000 than I can on any iOS device. I'm a very fast regular typer, much slower on a BB-type keyboard, and even slower on an iOS keyboard. Actually writing it out speeds things up a lot - if the recognition is correct.

Showed this feature to my wife who is forever making mistakes, she took to it like duck on water...mhh! I'll continue to type its easier, I must say its better than voice at this present time unless you have Dragon software. Well done Google seeing a need for some poor souls who cannot type.

Of course what we really want to do is say, "Siri, search for "dowager" as we stroll unhesitatingly down the street.
