Fun feature. Would be killer with support for non-latin based language. Imagine walking down a street in Japan, seeing a restaurant, and wanting to search for reviews. Oh no! It's written in kanji and you have a hard enough time reading basic words, much less names. Open up Google on your phone, write the kanji and add the japanese word for review behind it, and off you go. Great potential, anyway.

Judging from the commercial it does. Although I won't embarrass myself by guessing the language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyeJXKfAcpc

Sometimes opening a keyboard and typing is just too efficient. Sometimes you need a technology that will slow your life down and make it more prone to errors. Google handwrite: why type when you can awkwardly scribble?
I agree with you, but at the same time I think it's great that somebody is at least trying to innovate the tools we have for interfacing with technology. I know handwriting recognition isn't anything new, but the idea that the keyboard is all we will ever need can only contribute to the stagnation of advancement. I'm still waiting for the day I can telepathically control all my devices.
Eyeball tracking combined with speech or handwriting translation could be quite powerful. The eyeball tracking could provide a lot of contextual information to make speech/handwriting recognition more accurate.

This is pretty cool, and works really well! For me, though, Jelly Bean voice search from my lock screen is still the quickest.
Can't seem to find the voice search from there :(
Earlier quoted context omitted.

There could be a lot done with eyeball tracking. We already have setups that can accurately determine where you will be looking a fraction of a second in the future .

Do you have a link to more information about this? That's really impressive.
