Cult Favorite: FastFinga For iPhone

What is it? FastFinga is a cheap iPhone app that lets you write hand-written notes with your fingertip, then export them as images or send them by email. Why it's cool? To be honest, at first I was uncertain but now I rather like it. It's good for personal notes to loved ones, or for kids learning their ABCs. And it's not restricted to words...

Such as: Face 1: You could make a simple cartoon. Face 2: That's a dumb idea. Or you could write in other languages like Arabic which I won't try, because I don't know any, but you can see what I mean; FastFinga does support right-to-left text. And copy-and-paste, believe it or not. Don't expect it to be a faithful representation of your normal handwriting, though; using a finger is very different to holding a pen. Suffice to say, my handwriting is usually fractionally neater than what you're seeing here. You can get FastFinga from Catalystwo (this image should act as a link).
