LiveScribe - interactive smartpen

Bernie Dodge of Web Quest fame just twittered this. This is an interesting concept. Livescribe has developed a paper-based computing platform that merges a smartpen, paper, software applications, and development tools. According to their web site this interesting tool will be available online beginning of 2008. "It will cost less than $200-00USD". I have never paid that much for a pen. It would be terrible thing to lose it. Might be an idea to invent something to prevent one from ever losing the pen.

LiveScribe - Turn Your Paper On
There is additional dot paper that the company states will be available at prices comparable to standard paper products. I shall keep an eye on this. Is there anything similar to this already on the market?

Don't be too concerned about losing the pens - we have many clients using the pen and they don't seem to lose them - they get treated like a mobile phone - so things with a value like that tend to be looked after a bit better than an ordinary biro.

Thanks for the comments. I feel a little uncomfortable about the the YouTube video but there it is. I chose not to censor.

My post attracted two adverts! Almost like spam! Another versions of the video is here.
