Have you ever had the following experience - you look back at notes that you've taken a week after you've written them, and you are completely baffled by what you see there? Even scarier, have you ever had that experience a few hours after you've taken them? I think everyone has!
Well, luckily, you never have to have that experience again! The new Livescribe Pulse Smartpen makes that sensation a thing of the past.
The Livescribe Smartpen is a computer, available in either one gigabyte or two gigabyte versions, contained inside a pen that is just a little bit smaller than a dry erase marker. It is activated by tapping certain functions on special paper that comes with the pen, then when you take notes, it digitally records everything that you are writing and the accompanying audio in the room.
You can tap the pen on any part of your notes later, and it will replay the audio that was going on at the exact moment you wrote that note. You can jump ahead, jump back, speed up, slow down - you are in complete control!
When you get back to your computer, simply set the pen in its docking station cradle and download the notes and audio, all perfectly synced, to your hard drive. At this point, you can search your notes for keywords - a very useful feature. Also, you can share your notes online with classmates or other interested parties, or archive them.
The Livescribe people have been heavily marketing this device to college students, which makes sense because of the note taking tie in, but I think it could also have a significant market value to business customers for taking and sharing incredibly accurate and interactive meeting minutes.
All in all, the Livescribe Smartpen is an ingenious device, the uses for which have not even begun to be explored.
