We all know that taking good notes in class or in meetings is important, but it can also be difficult and frustrating; there isn’t enough time to write down all of the important information being presented; notes may make sense at the time but not a day or two later, or one might miss important information while concentrating on writing what was heard last. With the Pulse SmartPen, entire lectures can be recorded while writing notes. Then, when the class is over, the pen can be used in some very interesting ways. The Pulse SmartPen is a pen, an audio recorder, and a computer built into one.
The Pulse pen comes in 1 or 2GB (Gigabytes of electronic memory) models. The 1GB model can record 100 hours of audio, and the 2GB model can record 200 hours. Audio can be uploaded to a computer and then deleted from the pen to free up additional space.
The 1GB pen retails for about $150 and the 2GB for $200.
The pen can be purchased at Target or several on-line retailers.
The special notebook paper can be purchased or printed out. A Livescribe notebook 4-Pack (100 sheets each) retails for $19.
