A Completely New Style of Taking Notes

Posted by Lake Gensui Uchino , Saturday, May 29, 2010 9:29 PM

We've all taken notes before, whether it be in class, or at a meeting. But when we've finished writing, and look back at our notes, there's always a couple words or points that we missed. Now, wouldn't it be great if we could listen to a recording of the meeting that syncs with our hand-written notes? And wouldn't it be great if we could upload our hand-written notes onto the computer without having to go through the hassle of connecting our scanners?

Well I was browsing through Apple's online store (http://store.apple.com/us)today, and found something amazing. Take a look.


It's called the Pulse Smartpen. You might have either seen or heard of it before, but this is a great tool for all people who take notes in their daily life(eg students, businessmen, journalists etc).

What the Smartpen can do:
-record lectures or meetings WHILE writing.
-play back the part of the lecture that is synced with your writing.
-translate english text into different language
-and much more!

Check out this video below too see the Smartpen in action:

It's a really great device for business women/men, and students.

good question, I'm not sure how many notes 1GB can hold, I think it might be able to hold at least one or two notebooks with 1GB
