This would be a wireless pen which can write, store what you write into the pen's memory or storage device, and then can upload the data into a computer via wireless connection. This way you can have a hard copy of your notes as well as a soft copy of your notes stored and saved into a word processing
application when data from the pen is uploaded.
Kinda neat huh :-).
Kind'a baked, too: Logitech's "io" Personal Digital Pen

Miniaturize this -- make it into a pen -- use the gyros, etc, as sensor inputs. [Amos Kito, Oct 04 2004]

when it comes to computing, you need to make things very easy for the users. Logitech's pen would be much better if it had the wireless option. |

that pen is pretty cool...did it ever get out to the public? i tried doing a search on the keyword "compapen" but did not find anything. If it was being made, I would probably buy one. |

//Storage device// - paper, ordinary paper. Baked. |

[blaise], that pen isn't hi-tech enough. It needs accelerometers, tilt & pressure sensors, and tiny gyroscopes, to detect exact movements. It's like a little hand-held Segway with an ink cartridge. Or like an Orb-it [link].
Have it send a signal in real-time to a PC or PDA, via bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or IR, and you've got one fine writing instrument! |

Well, it was a nice baked thought. |
|
| |
Twice baked thought, even, as good ideas often are, alas. |

All pens are wireless already. |

Not the ones at the bank... |
