Nice and clear summary of the state of the art. The Sony video in the article was good too. i think the lessons learned from the Palm Pilot, hand writing system, was a good example of how to make useful robots. Instead of perfecting hand recognition and it's complexities, it took about 3 minutes to teach a human how to write, so the computer could understand. very simple. very innovative.
