A Pen with a Brain

Perfect for those who don’t like to use a computer but still needs to get data from the printed page on to a computer for business purposes, the Digital IO pen from Logitech is a really interesting and unique product.

The IO pen can be thought of as a hand held data storage unit. It looks like a standard pen, but when you write on the special pad, it actually translates all the squiggly writing into digital data. Then when you dock the pen later, all that data is automatically transferred to your computer and in some cases you can do optical character recognition which means it turns the data into text that you can edit with Microsoft Word. $199. www.logitech.com
