It's the handwriting solution provided by PenPower. Although Nokia Hong Kong promotes it, it's a third-party app and users will have to download it and install it by themselves.
After googletranslating and spending a while trying to understand the complicated installation guide, I found out the packages are actually in extras-devel!
mscim-n900-ppinputmethod
n900-locales-ppchinese (not sure what this one is for, its a dependecy of the above)
So I installed them and got 4 new methods for my mscim:
Chinese Pad
PINYIN Pad
Writing Pad
PINYIN Pad
The Chinese Pad is a virtual keyboard containing the strokes for chinese characters. I don't know how to use it though.
The first PINYIN Pad looks like regular mscim pinyin input (there may be some differences but I don't use googlepinyin much so I don't know).
The Writing Pad (which is what I suppose I'm interested in) and the second PINYIN Pad, however, just give me an error message: "Invalid IMEI. please visit http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900". What the hell?? Apparently, this input method is limited to devices sold in Hong Kong?
What is this crap, Nokia?
Lets have a look at the package: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....0-2010042905/
Oh, its in the free repository, so the sources are available?? Well, after having a look inside the source tarball, I found only the binaries. I'm not too knowledgeable about the packaging system, but are the packages in free repo not supposed to be opensource?
Huh?

I don't get how nokia can sell the n900 in hk with the fm transmitter by simply dissabling it...
Surely that's a bit like selling illegal drugs but just saying you wont use them? Didn't Rockstar get done in the US for that hot coffee thing, sounds a bit similar. I know HK will have different laws but it's still and fm transmitter?
Also, awesome pics
