Like an H and A are quite similar to write. So, they include both in the result. But, results with H are given preference (comes first). Those who think this a naive tool, this is very useful and so far worked like a charm (no bug).

Tattoo, Android 1.6

Looks to me exactly like handwriting recognition!! You write H, it searches words starting with H, and goes on and on. What's the diff?

I have a question here. If this release is just for the testing purpose, it would have release to all the devices as a beta? What you say about this?
