What is the benefit of purchasing a Pulse Smartpen?

Livescribe’s Smartpen combines all four modes of communication - reading, writing, speaking and listening - in a low cost, convenient, simple format of pen and paper.

In the case of taking notes during a discussion or lecture, the Smartpen can record the conversation and digitize the handwriting, automatically synching the ink and audio.  

Later you can tap the ink on your Livescribe notepad and the Smartpen replays the conversation from the exact moment the note was written.

Notes and audio can also be uploaded to a PC where they can be replayed, saved, searched and sent.
