Pulse smartpen from Livescribe.


As usually, we are talking about technology, and I want to share with you today one interesting invention. Many of you probably already hear of it. It's a Pulse smartpen from Livescribe. The Livescribe Pulse Digital Smartpen records your notes in two ways: it makes digital copies of everything you write by hand while recording audio at the same time.
Also it links two together and you can listen audio by tapping on the notes. All of this is uploaded to your computer where the Livescribe software archives and makes your notes fully searchable. In addition, it offers features like a calculator, translator, and a paper piano that plays a mini piano you draw on paper. The price still little bit high, for 2GB- $169.95 on Livescribe.com
