Monday June 01, 2009 - SMARTPENMANSHIP When it comes to technology, the humble pen is usually considered as ploughing the same furrow as it has for decades, a few gimmicky laser pointer devices aside. LiveScribe aims to change all that with the Pulse Smartpen. Not only does it record meetings and lectures in 3D sound (with a choice of 1GB and 2GB machines), it also records your notes and links then to the audio via the company's microdot paper and an integrated infrared scanner near the pen's nib (which can now be printed on many laserjet printers), turning the bundle into pdf files that can then be shared and even transposed into type using the bundled recognition software. Writing will never be the same again.
