Now even cheaper
This pen is just the best. It is now even cheaper than advertised on the article. It is now retailing for only £104 from livescribepulse.com.

For taking notes at seminars, workshops, presentations, or any meeting type, this is definitely a must have tool!

Search Function
Not emphasised enough in this review is the brilliance of the search function on handwritten notes. It recognises the majority of words written, even the more technical ones. Having a searchable notebook removes the need to file away notes - why file them when you can find what you need instantly?

A pity it's still as expensive as that! No doubt it's commensurate with its ingenuity and versatility, but not exactly a "fun" tool to try out.
