³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Just as real laptops are getting small enough to carry in a pocket (like the Sony Vaio P is pretty, light but ) pens are becoming real pocket computers. I've already been using the Oxford Easybook system which uses a Logitech digital pen, which turns handwritten notes and diary entries into date on Outlook and other Microsoft applications.

Now there is the system, which records audio as you take notes and links the two.

All of these rely on paper covered with specially printed tiny dots to give the cameras in the pens some orientation. LiveScribe has a small screen on the pen, too.

Could this all heading towards a technology that turns paper, with all of its advantages, into a throwaway computer?
