Chinese developer called “iPhone Cake” developed handwriting recognition for iPhone using HWPen for Latin and Chinese alphabets.
Specifically used for jailbroken iPhones, the application adds an additional button to the keyboard screen, which you could just tap and write on the screen with your fingers. Since the application integrates with native text input of the iPhone, HWPen is available anywhere you normally would use your keyboard. It also works with the auto-complete function of iPhone, so you could start typing a word and hitting the spacebar to choose between spelling suggestions.
The HWPen tries to work with whole words but it usually works better if you have entered one letter at a time. The software is still in beta development but based on the comments at the product page, it causes the iPhone to freeze up, requiring a restart. Another very common problem is that every time you use it, it defaults back to Chinese, meaning you have to press extra buttons in each use.
Download HWPen today using Installer.app. Go to “Sources”, click on “Edit” and “Add” a new source:

Refresh your sources and look for HWPen in the iPhoneCake packages category. Install the software and restart the iPhone. Then you can start using it.

iPhone users can add more function to the iPhone’s list of expandable features. Your iPhone can now be used as a drum machine. Dubbed “Drummer,” the new application from MooTheCow leverages the spectacularly flexible multi-touch display to sample up to 15 different sounds into a (hopefully) harmonious piece of music.
Drummer application comes pre-configured with rock, dance, jazz and electro drum kits and allows the user to expand upon the drum-kits with customized sounds. And, owing to the power of the multi-touch display, the drum pad can support up to 5 simultaneous button presses, which means that the user can play 5 different sounds simultaneously. Drummer also allows you to play your own beat along with songs stored in your iTunes library.
You’ll need to jailbreak your iPhone before you can install Drummer, so get to it. Then add the “http://www.touchrepo.com/repo.xml” application repository to your “Sources” list.

Here is a short quote of expert reviews: The iPhone is one of the most beautifully designed technology products I have ever used. Not only does it look great, but the usability puts even its good looks in the shade. The fact that you need no stylus to use the iPhone, speaks volumes about its user interface. As a music player it excels, as a mobile Internet device it excels, but as a phone it’s strangely disappointing. And when it comes to features, the T-Mobile Vario III is still a far more powerful mobile…
