I've hinted about this - and I've been playing with it for a while now so it's time to share!
My ex called one day and asked me what I knew about a digital pen. I was dumbfounded - but got on line and checked it out. Well - long story short - being a tech toy junkie I went nuts.
This little gizmo is a Logitech IO 2 Digital Pen. You write on special paper (the only drawback) and the pen "reads" what you've written and when you put the pen in it's cradle it transfers what you wrote to the computer and can convert it to a word document, a drawing file, etc.
It does require that you teach it how you write - and you can use cursive or printing. I thought this would be really usefull if I'm in the kitceh playing - I can write down what I'm using, how much, what I am doing, etc. and when I'm done I can bring the pen into the office and upload the recipe.
There are lots of other uses for it too - and I'm sure lots more coming down the pike. I lucked out, the ex found one at the flea market and bought it for WAY cheap. When he found out you had to have special paper etc. he gave it to me. You can find them on Ebay for around 140.00 for the IO 2 and less for the older model. The paper is available on line from a number of suppliers and comes in notebooks or post it note like pads.
All in all I'm going to give this rave reviews - absolutely love it! 8)
