The next iPhone firmware is rumored to have Chinese handwriting recognition built-in as reported by MacRumors and wretch.cc. This is a strong indicator the next Apple iPhone might officially invade Asian market first.

Users apparently can draw Chinese characters on the screen with their fingers. Suggestions for the character will appear on the right of the panel where users can then pick the right one.

Without further delay, Diotek, a mobile software company based in Korea, just announced the development of its DioPen, a handwriting software that will work on the iPhone when the 2.0 firmware allows 3rd party app.

DioPen works the same way as Windows Mobile handwriting recognition. The cool part is it can recognize  3 languages: Korean, Chinese, and English in either cursive or print characters. The software can be ported to other phones as well. [Via CNet]

PicLens, a Firefox plug-in that can display Google/Flickr/DeviantArt image search result  with a wall of animated full-screen 3D experience.

I installed and tried the new version. I can not seem to find the Piclens toolbar button from YouTube site as above indicated.

The only way to activate the YouTube function is to go Google image search first then hover the mouse on any image search result, click on the little gray arrow on bottom left, this takes me to the Piclens screen, from there, open the top right search window to select YouTube. 

Please let me know if it works for you!

Update: Actually it is easier than I initially thought. The PicLens button is located on top right corner of the Firefox browser. Just click that blue arrow to launch Piclens screen
