Hey all, It seems like Olympus is a popular brand from everything I've read... Personally, I've been using a pen and paper for the last semester :stone. The pen was actually a gift from my boyfriend, and it's the new pulse smartpen if anyone's heard of it. It helped with my note-taking a LOT, and I'm really glad he gave it to me. If you haven't heard of how it works, it's a digital pen that records audio as you take notes in a notebook. So when the professors would talk and talk and my hand wasn't up for all the vigorous notes I'd have to take, I just pressed record and wrote a few words or a sentence about what the professor was talking about, and then set the pen down while I sat back. :chuckle Anyway, the feature I really love about the smartpen is that the audio it records, it links to whatever you were writing/doodling/drawing at that time in the recording, so one day when I wasn't feeling very class-oriented, I just started drawing with it and let it record. Later when I was back in my apartment and feeling more focused I took it out and pressed random parts of the drawing to see what my professor was talking about then. I think it's really neat :] So I guess a drawback would be that the paper is special dot paper, but when you order a smartpen, it comes with a notebook that's 100 sheets, and yes that seems like a small notebook, but it actually lasted me a whole semester for three different courses because your notes can afford to be so condense when you use it. Plus, the company just came out with free printable dot paper, so price isn't even an issue Oh, and the audio quality (very important obviously) is really something. It has settings specifically for auditoriums/classroom settings, and I was just really impressed with the playback. The pen also comes with earbuds that when you plug them in while you record, record the audio just like you hear it in class. It's really cool, and I'm just really grateful I had it this last semester. It's awesome technology! If you have any questions about it or want to know more, just msg me/email me - jeanpants123 at yahoo I also know a discount, but I don't want to get banned Anyway, I hope I kind of helped?
