DS to get handwriting recognition

The next evolution of Pictochat perhaps? Nintendo has announced that they are working with the Zi Corporation to incorporate handwriting recognition into DS games. Perhaps with a wifi update, this technology could be added into Pictochat. With this added in, you could write anything you want with your horrible penmanship, hit a button, and have it rewritten in nice clean text. That is only one of the many ways this new technology could be used. I expect to see a handful of games pick up on this handwriting recognition and integrate that into a gameplay experience.
