Korean developer Diotek announced today that they are developing handwriting recognition software for the Apple iPhone that will recognize Korean, Chinese and English/European characters:

This newly developed handwriting recognition software, DioPen, is an input method that allows writing letters on capacitive touchscreen of Apple's iPhone by using bare fingertip. Currently, iPhone only provides QWERTY virtual keyboard without additional input methods such as handwriting recognition widely used in most other PDAs or mobile phones with resistive touchscreen.

It can support both cursive, print and mixed cursive/print "with extreme accuracy", according to the press release. No release date is provided.
