Smart Pen
Nowadays we have all sorts of “smart” technology. Phones are no longer just phones – they have morphed into portable computers that can do everything from provide internet access to keep track of your finances. So why should the pen industry lag behind? This “Smart Pen” made by Livescribe is a really cool step in that direction. The pen has all sorts of cool features, such as the ability to record a lecture while you jot down notes about it. You can then review the audio recording by tapping on your notes to hear what was being said at the time you were writing. Seems really cool for college courses or anyone who wants to make sure they get the most out of a lecture.
I wonder how long until the common promotional pens we see at tradeshows become mini-computers like the Livescribe Pulse Smart Pen? Hopefully soon…
