Casio Digital E-Pen

Casio's new Digital E-Pen is a wireless, digital pen that allows mobile users to write on plain paper and capture their writing, in real time, into their CASSIOPEIA Pocket PC or FIVA (MPC-206E) sub-notebook as digital ink. The pen weighs just 15 grams and is about the size of a large Mont Blanc pen. Users simply install the E-Pen DigiWrite software on their device; clip a small receiver to any piece of paper and, via ultrasonic technology, the E-Pen transmits a precise image of the user's handwriting to the connected device.

The combination of the CASSIOPEIA Pocket PC/FIVA and E-Pen makes it possible to capture handwritten, mobile data input that can be emailed, faxed or stored as jpg or bmp files. It also enables the development of secure ink, signature validation and vertical market applications targeting Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare, Retail and Mobile Commerce industries. $179. www.e-pen.com
