I'd just like to ask if there are plans to provide a built-in handwriting IME for Japanese Kanji. And perhaps for Traditional and Simplified Chinese as well.

The reason I ask is because is the only thing thing that I seem to miss from the iPhone. It's really convenient to be able to naturally input the said characters on the phone and I've still yet to find a good enough input method.

Thanks in advance.
