The company John Kim is thinking of is Go.  Once their PenPoint software is
finished, it seems apparent that a whole range of hardware devices will be
created for it, ranging from tiny, calculator-sized ones up to desktop-sized
machines.  It currently supports _printing_ recognition, but not actual
cursive handwriting recognition, and while I have heard rumors, there has not
yet been any kind of announcement of mathematical equation recognition. 
_That's_ what we really want in a handheld calculating device...
