<a href="http://akiba.sorobangeeks.com/revue_2.html">http://akiba.sorobangeeks.com/revue_2.html</a><br /><br />Piccolo Daimaou has written a review of a pen using the <a href="http://www.anoto.com/">Anoto</a> Bluetooth technology, that allows you to send your writings to a Bluetooth enabled PC or mobile phone using the right client software. At this time no PDA software is available, but after reading Daimaou's comments we can only hope that this is just a matter of time. "I am using gadget since now over 10 years, and this one of the most amazing stuff that I ever seen before. I would kill for such thing when I was student and now I see almost over a thousand of different way to use this pen. ANOTO will definitively change your way of writing, let?s imagine that from now, sending a Fax, an SMS or an Email is as simple as writing a letter... and can be used from 0 to 99 years old !"

Well I have a quite good news now, I have been in contact with another company in Asia who will release a product like the ANOTO pen, and I am waiting for their Sample

but the Most amazing stuff is:

That this pen won"t need any specific paper ! and will work on Pocket PC as well !

I am so impatient to reseive my sample and to make a review on it ! :lol:

In related news, Daimaou broke the story about the new Toshiba e550CD with camera and flash. I suspect it will be up on the frontpage soon :).

Logitech also has the Logitech IO Personal Digital Pen (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?countryid=19&languageid=1&page=products/features/digitalwriting&CRID=1545) that appears to be very similar in form and function.

The Logitech is exactly the same product (ANOTO Technology inside) BUT ! need USB in order to send information to a Computer, so will not Work with Mobile phone and with PPC, only with PC.

OMG! 8O
That Toshiba Genio e550OC is friggin' SWEET!

"This pocket PC will have a CPU PXA 255 and well on Slot CF+SD (SDIO)
USB Host, It is same possible to add photo A a contact in the base of contact of Outlook"

PXA 255, dual slots, 4" screen, Awesome!
I think I found my next PocketPC... wonder what the battery capacity is.

The Casio E-3000 looks good too with its 18hr rated battery...

Exciting stuff I must say. Let's see more!

Well, the Logitech device is cool, but you need the USB cradle to upload information to your computer(s). And I wouldn't want to carry that around. Remember, we're trying to be mobile :D

I'll get the Anoto if it's reasonably priced (200'sh).
