Livescribe Pulse Smartpen review
We review the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen to see if it's a help or hinderance to the modern-day note taker.
With a few minor tweaks it would be the perfect smartpen, although in its current state it still trounces the competition on most fronts and is a must-have for any conscientious student or business person.

For the money the Pulse costs character recognition should come out of the box, so take note Livescribe!
