Apple (AAPL)

Though Apple has shunned the stylus in favor of multi-touch on the iPhone and iPod touch, a new patent application suggests the company is investigating superior handwriting and input recognition via pen.
The patent application, revealed this week, describes a system that would comprehend complex "ink information" created from the use of a pen-like stylus. Entitled "Method and Apparatus for Acquiring and Organizing Ink Information in Pen-aware Computer Systems," the document includes multiple references to "tablet" style computers.
