We’re exploring creative uses of the pens in class and as a group problem solving tool. The CEO, Jim Marggraff is a former founder of the toy company, LeapFrog, which went public on similar “pen-based” technology in the kid’s sector. The technology is awesome and the company has a few surprise announcements (I”m sworn to secrecy) that are coming out which will leverage large platforms from other partners and enable some incredible new applications. I hope to report on my blog http://www.innovationsparks.com later this year about the results of our testing in the classroom. Thanks for your review!

It’s on my wish list. I also want a “yes-and” feature, which gives me builds on whatever I think up. I also want it to compliment and encourage me. That makes me think, I have a laughing pen somewhere … seriously …

The computer software does some interesting things. For one, it can “Play Back” your notes, so you see the animation of that. I don’t know if there is anyway to export that playback and create a movie, but that would be cool, especially for sketch artists…

I saw Blair Miller use it when we were gathered in Buffalo at Daemen College for Sid Parnes’ Celebration last year.

It looked great.

I had seen the tablet computer that David Horth was using a few years ago when we were in South Africa…alas it was not Apple

Yours is Apple compatible?

Add it to my Christmas or end of the year money spending in December.
