We welcome back Michael Ackerbauer from IBM’s Metaverse team, as we review your tags this week. It’s been a pretty busy and crazy set of tags, but with the release of iNotes from IBM recently there are more iPhone users getting access to their corporate data. We also look at some really cool historical computing trends and see if we can guess the device. Our Obligatory 3D internet section gives many people a first look at Emotiv’s headset, as seen on the Discover Channel’s “Prototype This” show, while the coffee lover’s out there will get a cool printer. Don’t miss the interview with Ben and Nathan from MyCosm at the end of the show.

So I think this is the pen you were thinking about: http://tinyurl.com/6al2om
The Pulse Pen by Livescribe
I actually bought it a few months ago. I have to say that I use the recording feature less than I thought I would, but otherwise I use the pen all the time. I think the best feature about the pen is the search in the software, and how well it recognizes my handwriting.

Hey Heidi, that was it, Thanks. When I looked at it I wasn’t that sure about the recording feature for writing, except perhaps interviews. The Pen did look a little bulky, does it feel OK in the hand?

Actually the recording and the sound on the pen is great, I guess I forget to turn it on when I think I should (like in class), I have used it for a few meetings though.
The pen is bulky, but I don’t write a lot anymore so any pen feels uncomfortable for me now
I kind of got used to it. I bought the extra journal notebooks that look like moleskines, I think that’s the reason why I use it to so much, those are easier to carry around.
My only real complaint with the pen is the limited export options from the software. There’s really no export, but you can copy a page and paste it as a jpg in another application. I do this with my class notes, pasting to Evernote, which can search for some of my handwriting, but not nearly as good as the Livescribe software.

DOH! You were so supposed to not believe that claim of a perfect score. The only thing perfect about my score was that it was a perfect failure!

LOL Matt, now the truth comes out
It was a cool test… A nice little walk down memory lane.
