I like really smart implementations of technology.
Marjolein just demonstrated the Pulse smartpen from
Livescribe to us. A pen with an integrated voice recorder.
The really clever bit is the combination of the camera in the tip and the special micro-dotted paper you write on.
The dotstructure in a given location is unique so the camera can tag voice recordings to your writing and the image of your writing.. See this
movie over here.
So you sit in a meeting, take notes and record at the same time. Afterwards you can read your notes on a PC, tap a word and hear the corresponding voice recording.
Clever.
