Pulse Smartpen
www.livescribe.com
Suppose you are interviewing a source, would it be helpful to record the conversation with a device as inconspicuous as the pen you are writing with? What if you could go back over your notes later, touch your writing, and listen to the exact moment when you took that note? The Pulse Smartpen, a new innovation from Livescribe, offers both those features and more. The pen serves as a recording device, complete with a microphone and, believe it or not, a built in speaker. An infrared camera takes 70 images per second and correlates your notes with whatever audio is being recorded. The pen comes with either 1GB or 2GB of storage space, special paper and a case.

Ergo Sof PenAgain

This y-shaped pen is a good alternative for those avid writers whose hand gives out before their ideas do. The Ergo Sof PenAgain allows the weight of the hand, while in a more natural position, to press down on to the paper instead of pushing down with the muscles of your hand. The ergonomically designed Ergo Sof PenAgain may relieve the symptoms of writer’s cramp, Carpal Tunnel Sydrome, and arthritis.
