It also has a clever built-in piano - the voice hidden inside the pen asks you to draw a grid of nine squares on the paper, and that becomes a keyboard.

Firstly, you can "pencast" - so if you fill a page with notes, drawings, doodles, graphs, sketches, etc, you can export the page as a Flash Movie (complete with audio), so that you can share the session with others, post it on Facebook, and generally impress the heck out of everyone you know. The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen has a stack of other features. Using the special paper isn't the bind that you may think it is, as the pads and notebooks are pretty cheap, and if your printer's up to the job, you can print your own paper. The paper is coded with almost invisible dots, and the pen has a tiny infrared camera that uses the dots to work out where on the page it is. The pen has to be used with special paper.

It doesn't end there though, as when you connect your pen to a PC or Mac, copies of everything that the pen has written or heard are saved to the desktop and can be searched, archived, converted to editable text, exported and generally repurposed as needed. This is a far more effective way of taking notes than lots of scribbled notes or a Dictaphone, as everything you write and hear is captured electronically by the Smart Pen. When you use the pen to tap on what you've written, you'll hear what was being said at that moment, from the pen's built-in speaker. Perfect for use in meetings, conferences, lectures or phone calls, the pen will record audio and link the audio to what you're writing. In practice, it's an advanced writing and audio capture tool.
Superficially, this is a chunky-ish pen with a little LCD screen.
Probably one of the most clever bits of kit to grace our desks of late. Is this the world's smartest tech pen? We get hands on with the Livescribe Smartpen
