I'm fascinated with new technology and the creative spirit of how new products are developed. It's not often that something comes along that seems so simple an idea that one wonders why it didn't come out sooner.
Here's one that's getting a lot of press today, and in case you didn't see it, I wanted to bring it to your attention. The product is called Livescribe and it's basically a computer in a pen. At first glance you might not think this is that interesting an idea (as I didn't) but when if you watch the little animated demo here I think you'll you'll see that it has really powerful implications for those of us in business, even though this demo is all about an academic application.
I can't tell you how many times I can't read my own notes after an important meeting! This might be the answer. If you're in a creative mood, this ought to make your jaw drop just a bit.
I also skimmed the article and didn't think much of the pen. But now, after seeing the demo, i want one!
