A Wider Net

The Livescribe, shipping in a few months, is a pen that records your handwriting, records the audio from the room, and synchronizes the two. When reviewing your notes, you can tap on a section of your notes and hear back what was said in the room when you wrote that section. Sweet beautiful context. How many times have you wished you had that context a few days after a grueling stakeholder interview or information download and your notes no longer make sense?

Apparently it can also figure out what you’re doing and help you a bit. If you sketch a math problem, it will solve it and display the answer on it’s little screen. Cooooool.

At $200, every single person I’ve shown this to has said they will buy one - if it does what they say. And they want it now.
