Livescribe Pulse Smartpen (2GB)

Pros: When I saw it in use I had to buy one.
Record audio and sync it to hand written notes.
Easy to use, Works well on the paper provided

Cons: Has to use dedicated paper.
Can't replace the Li Rechargable Battery
The desktop app works but is a little clunky and sometimes does not sync as well as it should with the pen

Summary: I think that this will change the way that many people work when taking notes, Also it has fantastic use for accessibility.
It's great that they have opened the platform to developers, Expect to see many interesting apps in the next few years.
