Mobile napkin math?

[BobC]

Any idea whether napkin math will be added soon? This is a great
mobile feature.

Aloha bobc,

I wouldn't expect to see it until the next major release; but I guess they
could surprise me. Adding napkin math would mean adding ink support and
that's a pretty substantial feature to add to the project with an interim
release.

I think they're talking about adding the Calculator feature (or napkin math
as Chris Pratley calls it):

to Onenote Mobile 2007:

What do you mean by the the term "napkin math"?
Would you pls explain a bit further, pls?

To me it seems that it might already be built-in.

Napkin math is built in to the main version of OneNote in 2007, but not in
the Mobile version. If you want to see it, click on a page and type (for
example) 2*2*11+33 =

Watch the magic when you hit the spacebar after the equals sign. It is way
cool and very useful. Does quite a bit of very useful little math problems
for you.

Now if only worked with ink directly on the tablet... would really help
with the whole "napkin" experience.
