Relax and join the Revolution-BREAKING NEWS-Mac Desktop available 2/17/09 : Livescribe 2GB Pulse Smartpen (APA-00002)
The basic idea: Use a Pulse pen to write on some special pre-printed paper. Optionally record the audio as you are writing. Connect the pen to a computer, and you can upload the "session." The session includes both a representation of what you wrote on the page(s) as well as the recorded audio.
The audio and your pen scribblings are linked, e.g. you can click on the image of your page and listen to the corresponding audio. For example, if you wrote "Q&A" somewhere on the page during the session, clicking on the phrase "Q&A" afterwards causes the audio to play at that point. Thus, your notes can stand alone as an artifact of your meeting, can be just an index of your meeting, or can be anywhere in between. For example, I prefer to focus on what's going on during a meeting and usually don't take detailed notes. With the Pulse pen, I just try and write a coarse outline of the meeting. Afterwards, I can use the outline to quickly navigate around the audio recording.
The user interface for the pen is kind of cool. Instead of cluttering the pen up with lots of little buttons, you just tap on buttons on the special paper. (Each sheet in the pad has record, stop and navigate buttons for example.) You can easily do what you need to do with limited fuss.
What's not to like? The windows software is a little limited. I'd really like to save the audio recording as a plain MP3 file, and the pages as PDFs. You can do the latter by using a Windows PDF printer driver, but that's 3rd party software and can be kind of clunky. Or you can upload your session to Livescribe's website and then download your session back as a PDF. That's both clunky and creepy; I really don't want my data on their website. And I can't figure out how to save my audio outside of the Livescribe desktop app, except with another 3rd party app. Hopefully these are all problems that will be addressed with software updates.
More hassles: a pen is tied to a particular computer (much like an iPod). If you have a desktop and a notebook, you'll have to go through some extra steps as you move back and forth. And if you're a Mac user, Livescribe promises to have an OS X version of their software at the end of 2008. I tried it under Vmware Fusion, and was able to get it to work -- except for firmware updates (this is as advertised by Livescribe). I've now moved it to a Vista notebook, which hasn't had a problem.
Livescribe promises to enable users to print their own "special" paper. What makes the paper special, by the way, is that there's a very fine pattern of dots that are read by a camera mounted inside the pen. Data encoded into the dot pattern is used to figure out what page you're writing on, where you are on the page, and whether you're tapping on a button ("Record," "Stop," etc.). Printing these dot patterns requires a laser printer (I believe) for proper registration, but time will tell. If any of this sounds familiar, it is because the underlying technology is common to the Leapfrog FLY.
And why is this a harbinger? Cameras, GPS units, pens and voice recorders should all be linked together. The Pulse pen takes care of the last two, but there's a "network effect" as more functions are linked in. GPS units can talk to some cameras these days, but how much more powerful would it be if video, stills, writing, audio and location information were all cross-linked?
Bottom line: the desktop software needs to be improved, but this is one great tool. If you sit through a lot of meetings, and dislike taking detailed notes, this device will make you a lot more productive and a lot happier as well.
