Windows Tablet PCs already have handwriting recognition software, but alas our poor mortals with Windows XP or Windows Vista are forced to continue pecking away at our carpal-tunnel inducing keyboards.
This could mean handwriting recognition or it could simply be a security system similar to biometric fingerprint readers that let you quickly logon to laptops/PCs. In theory, this touch-screen pad asks you to enter in a password or type a few keystrokes and it recognizes your handwriting style. Though I'm not sure how accurate determining who the author is of handwriting is. Heck, I can't even read my own writing so how can I expect this keyboard to know it's me?
p.s. The box also butchers the English language when it says "Multimedia super and thin keyboard". I think they meant "Super multimedia features and thin keyboard".

What about left hand writer like me?
;)
IMHO, this is just a keyboard with a built-in touch-screen pad for handwriting recognition. Chinese handwriting recognition, to be specific. You see there are zillions of Chinese Characters, and some people just can't be bothered (or can't) to learn how to type them, so they'd just write them. Similar stuff have already been around for over 15,16 years.

$25.48 for this seems like a splendid deal! Did anyone buy it? I might if the product is of good quality.
it's not a new gadgets,just combine keyboard and touch-screen together,i dont think it's original,anyway,it makes some sense,i'd like to have a try.
BTW,if you gotta a wooden keyboard,what about next?view here:

nearly it drives me crazy...
this is gay why sit and talk about this shit
It's just a keyboard with a screen! so its just pointless!
I think this is really cool. I know how to type chinese pinyin, but writing it would be neat. I guess it's good for those who don't know certain characters. They could just simply write it out and the computer would tell it what it means. I want one!!
why write it, when you can just type it?
