The Livescribe smartpen is revolutionizing the way we use the pen and paper. This gadget records the audio that is heard from the immediate area and actually links it to what you have written on the paper at that exact moment. Once the link is achieved you can review what you wrote and by tapping your pen to the paper you can actually hear what was said at that time you wrote it. These notes on paper can then be transferred to your PC and shared to other people via a separate software application.

This revolutionary method is called the paper-based computing platform. That is, a smart paper, a smart pen and a special application for the whole platform. This amazing gadget will be available on the first quarter of next year but you can start placing your orders as early as now. It will cost no more than $200 with an additional cost if you want more of the dot papers. The special papers, by the way, cost just as much as ordinary paper products.

Livescribe SmartpenThe smartpen is a great benefit to students. Students can concentrate on writing down notes on their paper more that listening to the lecture because they can always review the audio later by tapping on the notes that they have taken down. When the lecture is finished students can share them with their colleagues who haven’t understood the lecture by emailing them the notes together with the audio using the software provided.

This platform also serves as a translator which means that a word or phrase can be translated by just writing it on the dot paper and by downloading more languages from you computer to the pen.

Other feature of the pen and paper platform is that you can write a message and send it right there from your notebook. It can also make and send voice animated messages. Messages can be posted directly to your blog and facebook profile.

The Livescribe Desktop serves as the gateway of the smartpen and paper users. You can digitally arrange, organize, share and search your notes and audio clips. The Livescribe Desktop also lets the users make virtual notebooks including study guides. Users can also load their pen with new applications via the Livescribe desktop or you can also make your own tools with the built-in wizard-driven content and software development kit feature.

This certainly is a gadget worth buying. Via [LiveScribe]
