Google has launched a feature called Handwrite for Google
search which enables you to search via a finger scribble or a stylus on the
search page. Cool Idea, but how long will it actually remain to be cool. Aside
from last night, I doubt I’ll actually use this feature again. I can’t see the
longevity or the usefulness of this add on.
I understand Google’s standpoint that it’s not always
convenient to open up the virtual keyboard and type with one hand, but I find
the tablet screen sensitivity a challenge and hinders the ability to properly
draw or type. (I’m presently using the Asus Transformer running ICS)
Google is definitely not making this as an alt for a not
taking app, but rather an easier/quicker way of entering search queries, whilst
on the go.
To enable the handwrite option on your tablet or smartphone,
hit the settings tab, scroll to Handwrite, hit enable and you’re set. This will work on Android 2.3.3+ phone, an
iOS 5+ iPhone or iPad, or an Android 4.0+ tablet. Sorry BlackBerry, you’re out
of luck with thing one :)
