Paper That Acts Digitally

from the all-the-rage-in-Europe dept

A Business 2.0 article that talks about this "new" bluetooth enabled pen and paper system that lets you email doodles or whatever you write on a pad, simply by checking off an email box on the pad. It's an interesting concept, but doesn't seem that revolutionary. Cross and others have offered pads and pen systems that transfer doodles into their electronic version. The only major difference I see with this is the bluetooth enablement, and the ability to send the doodle as an email simply by drawing a check in the "email" box on the pad. Other than that it seems like a fairly expensive system with very limited uses.
