Features of interest in Mac OS X Jaguar

I use a graphics tablet as my main input device so this new feature called ink grabbed my attention. The idea of handwriting recognition is not a new one, but if OS X executes this properly, I would finally have a good use for my 600$ tablet (other than drawing of course).

I don't get spam (I have my own domain), but the idea of the Mail application recognizing certain mail as spam and promptly removing it is absolutely excellent. I still think the idea of a P2P spam filter as found on www.cloudmark.com is a much more effective spam block, but Mail is on the right path... I haven't seen anything like this integrated on any mail programs yet.

ink, yeah

I read something very interesting about ink somewhere on the internet. They said, ink would be great for Powerbooks/iBooks, you might use a pen (like the one from the Palms) on the trackpad to write things. This drew my attention, wouldn't it be great to use the trackpad for ink text recognition?
I don't know if this is just fiction or if it already works this way. I would find that way cool!

I'd rather use my tablet, much better control with the pen they provide on it. I'd love to see Microsoft do something like this for Windows but I doubt this'll be a priority for them. They're much busier patching the 100,000 holes they discovered the day after XP shipped.

of course a tablet and a pen is better, but just the idea using ink on a trackpad is interesting. I mean everyone with an iBook or Powerbook already has a trackpad, but a few people have a tablet. And you don't carry your tablet around, but you do with your iBook/Powerbook.
