The EVO 3D Reviewed

There are a lot of reviews of the Sprint EVO 3D on the Internet so I decided to post another one. This is a review of the use of the phone including the good and the bad. I decided to modify this not too long ago to actually break it down in to areas for easy reference. If anyone has comments or suggestions, and best of all questions please post them.

Evo 3D Size

First the phone size is what everyone notices. It is a large phone with the dimensions of 5" (L) x 2.6" (W) x 0.47" (T). That is no difference the the Sprint EVO, but coming in a bit larger then the current phones from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The size of the phone is not huge, as it does fit in to a shirt pocket, although a bit tight. The size does come useful when watching movies.

Kopernicus Script to get the Time of an Email Message

I like to make notes about things, and sometimes utilizing my log I want to take a note of an E-Mail message. This simple script will take the time of the selected mail message and paste it in to the clipboard and then paste it to the software that is in front.

Handwriting Recognition on the Mac.

It is all over the internet, there is a well known fact that handwriting recognition on Windows is better them on the Mac. I do not disagree, when comparing out of the box experience Inkwell is horrible at handwriting recognition.

Inkwell is meant for printing and is based on the Apple Newton technology which is almost 20 (twenty) years old. Plain and simple it just does not work. On Windows there are great third party tools that are available that enhance this even further. For Mac so far I have found two alternatives.
