Ink Your Email with riteMail
Pen&Internet LLC, has released riteMail® 2.0 for Palm Powered devices, Palm OS 5. riteMail is an interactive, electronic ink email application that lets users create handwritten notes and drawings to store on a Palm Powered handheld or to email and be viewed in any of the major email systems.
With riteMail, users can exchange handwritten messages in high-quality electronic ink between handhelds, pen tablets, desktops, laptops, and other computers over wireless and wireline connections. It integrates with all popular corporate and personal email systems and adds a personal touch, visual appeal, and productivity gains to traditional text email. riteMail is already used by people in over 100 countries, writing in more than 50 languages.

It will include unified note-taking between multiple platforms; provide advanced editing, recognition, and smart printing of electronic ink on desktops; and form the basis for ANR (Advanced Notes Recognition).

cool but disappointing
- a desktop component. E-mail is fine, but I see a better use for this type of technology as a digital-ink note taker. For this, it needs to have a desktop component so I can print my handwritten notes out
- speed. It lags behind my drawing on a Tungsten T, and there are numerous "please wait" messages for things like undo, and the shape recognizer. It needs to be faster.
- better hardware support. At 100% mode, you can't scroll side-to-side with the TT's navigator. An obvious missing capability.
...so it's not quite there yet, IMHO. Much better in most respects than BugMe or the built-in NotePad, but not as good as it could be.
