Handwriting IME
A handwriting recognition application for the Notes application has been released and is from the iphonecake.com/src/all Installer source. It’s a pretty cool concept but a lot more tedious than just regular typing. I meant to type in “This is cool but slow” but got fed up with the application without completing the sentence. Your mileage may vary, so give it a spin. Add: iphonecake.com/src/all as an Installer source.

Caterpillar Updated - Brings Back 5 Icon And Reflective Dock
Some nice Caterpillar updates have been implemented. People upgrading to 1.1.3 and up lost the ability to use the plist hack to use the reflective dock along with having a 5 icon dock. Rip Dev have brought those features back with version 1.1. One other notable feature that was added was the change to the calendar screen. You now have the ability to display events for the next 7 days.

- Improved the installer.
- Small fixes and tweaks on all the components.
- Recurring events are now supported;
- Ability to select default mode: events or calendar;
- Ability to turn off mode switching by clicking, so you can only see events or calendar;

- The events view is wider now;
- Fixed a visual glitch with a light line on the bottom of the calendar;
- Fixed a bug with the volume slider not functioning in the iPod control mode.
- 5-icons Dock support for firmware 1.1.3 and newer;
- Ability to turn enable Reflective Dock;
- Ability to turn off Dock background;
- Ability to make status bar opaque;
- Dark faceplates for the icon titles (nice for light backgrounds).
- Ability to hide only the message text or both the sender and the text in the addition to the “standard” options.
