Ruth spoke to the guy on the train and he was selling ( i guess ) these things. They have a pen that looks at special markings on paper to figure out where the pen is on the page. The idea is then you can use this to record paths of what people have written on a page ( without scanning it in). A kind of real pen/paper interface for stroke recognition system.
Ruth is moving back to a physical note book. She can't find an online calendar than she can use without power/laptop on the train *. Intreastingly I am booting up a new physical note book primarly for all my on line passwords ( back up via photocopyer). I keep saying to people that as a programmer you are always competeing with paper. What makes paper note books work - light weigh zero boot time and zero recharge/discharge time and nice interface to drawing. Down side - no delete, and more over no find.
I love to play with the evaluation kit. maybe if I get the big display working next week.
* the laptop is hevey and ruth wants to be able to go in with lecutures on her ipod.
