i have a smartpen and i think it was totally worth $149! it's cheaper than an ipod and way more useful if you're a student or business professional.
You really think so? The 1 GB model is $150. That's like 3 xbox games but it is way more useful to a student. The pen includes a mini computer, a camera, and a microphone. I think given what is and does it is very reasonably priced. anyhting from $100 to $200 is in hte "sweet spot" range. i think it is killer product. I bought one for my son who is going into 8th grade now.
Well I am going into 9th grade, and I hate video games of all sorts (and yes, I am a guy). So I probably have some extra cash lying around. But it still is a large investment. And so far pencil and paper have served me quite well.
I also think the Smart Pen was designed for audio learners, Which I'm not sure I am.
OK, Well you know yourself and how you learn best. Audio is a big part of it, sure. But another thing is see is that you can upload your note to your PC and keep them all there. And then they are search-able. For me, that is huge. When I was in school, I'd look all through my notebook to find something. Here you can just search. So yeah, audio is part. The other part is that it digitizes all that you write and makes it search-able. But hey, as you say it may not be for everyone.

Really its just a price issue. It is a fantastic device, and if it were $50, $60 dollars i'd get one right away.
I bet in 10 years every student will have one of these.
