  • I was hoping I could just pay for the pen alone, but you gotta buy the special notebook for the pen to work -.- Not really smart >.>

  • Pen Cost 200$.

    Paper 50$ per page.

    200 page textbook - 6 bucks.

    audio recorder- 60 bucks.

    Cool Ball Point Pen 10-20 bucks.

    86 bucks.

    You save

    73% for being smart.

  • IM JORDAN AND I WANT ONE!

  • Lol The notebooks aren't expensive just take a look at how much regular notebooks are costing now a days.

  • god damn. o_o

  • Did this mother fu** just say "artsy fartsy"? God damn goon

  • what a POS.....you have to buy a speical notebook.

    Easy way to do this in college>

    Pull out your droid....record audio during lectures and take notes....DONE

  • i thought it writes its self

  • pen costs $200

    paper costs $999 a page

  • it may be technologically outdated but for people like myself thats not about to or able to spend 400 or more for the ipad etc and the expensive apps to go with them. this pen is great I have had mine a few months now and would not trade it for nothing. its even easier to travel with just slide it in my pocket and move on rather than lugging around an expensive easily breakable electronic tablet. I love it and wish I had more than one.

  • This is cool but aready out dated, the I-Pad and other Tablet form laptops do the same thing with out the paper and has not only audio but video recording via webcam. Its also stupid in a way because why would you record writing when its manually hand writing on the notebook itself, isnt that a record. not only that but i lose a pen every week and I'll be mad if this ran out of ink.

  • Can the pulse smart pen translate print from other paper then the special dotted livescribe paper?

    If not, is there a small pen like the pulse smart pen that does this?

  • Uggh I got this for christmas and the problem is I already am using other notebooks!

  • what happens when you run out of ink?

  • @jasongoaliestar you get more.... you can buy them in stores that sell the smartpen

  • @jasongoaliestar LMFAO

  • @jasongoaliestar I'm curious too....lol

  • Dude this is the fly pen. This is the exact same technology the Fly pen used! The inferred camera and the special paper.

  • Reminds me of that fly pen I got for Christmas when I was 10.

  • where can you buy it?

  • almost useless

  • Good deal!

  • coool if only target had lawaway

  • Its 20$ for 4 books dumbass's Btw the pen (2GB version )is 150$ (160$ for the new 4GB one the Catriges are 5$ for five its not that expencive so idont see whats the problem

  • Pen $150

    Notebook $10 each

    ink cartridge $10 each

    Giving it to your kid to "write on the wall" after you realize what a shit product it is: PRICELESS

    My buddy has this and sometimes it won't sync up his notes or glitches and shows notes he deleted. Even though he tries to still tell me it's the best thing out there. LMAO

  • I'll save everybody some money. Get a cheap voice recorder and scan your notes with a regular printer at home to your computer.

  • This pen looks nice, but it's useless... LMAO..

  • ur own printed paper wont work because of the dots. your paper won't have dots... so it wont work.

  • Fucking good, i buy that pen, NOT

  • Amazinnngg

  • he gives his daughter a $150 pen to scribble with!

  • what a shit product.

  • for everyone saying its too expensive stop bitching about it if you can't afford it, it sucks for you, you poor losers

  • Obviously the major drawback of this pen is the "special paper" needed for it to work. And that whole thing with his printer freezing at the end was just plain retarded excuse, it is obvious that your own printout of that paper will not work...

  • Really ingenious.

  • can you set it to only record what you right and not the audio

  • @mman360 I was wondering the same thing, and it's write* not 'right. Anyone have the answer?

  • why don't you just type your notes

  • cuz u cant record audio while typing :)

  • you can

  • cool.

  • in 10 years this one will be obsolete and they will have a better one that can play video games for alot more...

  • the pen can also play music o.o

    good for college.

  • i guess..in a way..u can get this as an alternative to tablet pc's

  • immagin if it runs out of ink how much would th ink cost?

  • The ink is really cheap. Look on livescribe . com to see the prices...

  • The pen itself is so big though...

  • $10 a notebook! Talk about highway robbery.

  • @Stplaya08 You don't wanna be having a paper ball fight with that!

    lol

  • @Stplaya08 It's actually 5

  • I hope sometime soon they'll be able to make it work without the expensive paper

  • now the 2gb is 169.99 and 4gb is 199.99

  • One of the best investment I've made. I am a 56 yr old idea man. I use it rather than a Dig Recorder. Auto links to note for a project. I can quickly record ideas to a graphic mental key.

  • Your printer froze up because you need to use a postscript driver when printing paper from livescribe desktop. Also a 4 GB version of the pen is now in stores for $200.

  • I will buy this pen,i need something like this for the university ...to be honest,i cant pay attention of the the professor say,so i need this pen to record everything,thats the true and ppl like me will buy it.

  • I have invested in this pen and it has saved my tons of time.

    This pen has saved my life in class mulitpul times.

    Its worth every penny and more

  • if you make a mistake, you scribble the word out. like a regular pen.

  • all you had to do was ignore my question that's all

  • I was a C student and after i bought this pen my grades went up to A's and B's and now im taking 3 Honors classes cuz i can study easily at home

  • It may look like a gadget in the eyes of many people. But, woaw, it is so smart...brilliant.

  • y wouldnt u want this pen it is AWESOME!

  • tablet > smart pen

  • what's the point in having this thing?

  • you obviously haven't been to college if you are asking that question

  • oh i am. 3rd yr that can listen and learn at the same time, no need for note taking

  • well then you aren't taking difficult enough classes?

  • why do you even care about my life?

  • it's called "studying"

  • Lol, you obviously haven't been to college. Studying isn't just going through a textbook anymore. Often times the teacher will give you content briefly touched on or not even mentioned in the textbook and it is up to you to get them during a lecture. This pen helps alleviate some of the pressure that goes along with this.

    Don't be stupid

  • you don't read before you type do you?

  • Haha. Dude, what's your problem? If you don't like the pen, fine. I simply point out that this pen can be very useful in a college setting. If you don't understand that then you are stupid.

  • the paper with dot patterns is expensive! in my country one notebook as big as the notebook included is only $1. i love this pen btw.

  • @blah11blah "don't be stupid" this pen is to be used to help you take notes during a lecture, As you write your key points down on paper as you would with a real pen taking normal notes, it records the lecture so you can review your notes with your Prof. "in the room" with you.

  • @blah11blah who are you talking to? fucking idiot

  • @kazamman33

    U Mad Bro?

    My comment was over a year ago, who knows (and frankly who cares) who my comment was directed to. I guess only inbred morons on youtube with sticks up their own asses care SO MUCH that I didn't include an @ sign in my response. Don't worry, I made sure I included an @ sign in this response so that everyone on youtube knows how retarded you are.

  • @blah11blah your so stupid fucking idiot

  • @blah11blah the bigger question is what if you run out of paper?

  • Sorry, but I'd rather just get a laptop that has a pen feature on it (like a drawing pad). It has way more uses than this pen.

  • I don't have the money to get this a pen that is 150 to 200 dollars plus only functional on 10 dollar notebooks is crazy. I would definitely invest if money was no object though.

  • They made it to where you can print the special paper yourself, but the initial price of the pen is still a lot. I ordered one a few days ago.

  • Oh thats pretty cool I was thinking about that but it would be nice if they sold the notebooks for like 50 cents like normal notebooks sell for so its more convenient and you don't have to waste ink

  • You can print the paper off the internet

  • i doubt it, doesnt it have like the electronic beads on it...

  • your printer has to be somewhat powerful though

  • oh, ok....thanks!

  • powerful? its printing dots

  • it makes sense its more expensive.....its an electronic notebook....but yeah i wish it was about 50 cents too :)

  • sounds like a waste of money to me...

  • Comment removed

  • i want that pen

  • the guy looks like Sherman from American Pie

  • He does! It's SO weird!

  • neat, but i wouldn't use it

  • so you have to hold it in a special way? Now I know what I am getting for mah bday!

  • Cool pen! Thanks for the overview.

  • odd.... i wonder how pissed someone would be if you broke their "pulse-pen"

  • Awesome!!!

  • Innovative, but pretty useless anyway!

    I'd like a notepad on which one could wright and draw manually (of course it should look real like on a paper page, kinda it could be something like a electronically controlled pigmented smartboard, sstuff like that, lol) but all the stuff would be stored on memory and u could change pages just like on a computer by some side controls. (colors & similar stuff too.)

  • well thats what this does and you can also buy a touch screen computer if u want i think thats what u mean but if not and ur just like that stupid then ok and fuck you americans sexual preds

  • You completely missed my point and no it isn't doing what I described, your obviously too stupid if you can't get what I was saying, your cursing shows that alone.

  • well you really don't have to be a jerk about it. well from what i understand u want something that can write like a pen and paper but be electronic. that is well the pulse and more like a touch screen pc. describe it better. and i wasn't swearing at you.

  • While you say stupid shit like that these people are making huge amounts of money, you probably couldn't even figure out how to use this pen, stupid retard with the brain of a rat. Shut your mouth if you have nothing of importance to say.

  • yeaaaa!!!!

  • so what happens when u make a mistake

    do they have a smart white out

  • I bet those papers are like 25 bucks a piece lol

  • about $20 for 4 notebooks...

  • when does it come to mac?

  • I just got mine and the box has a sticker on it that says both Mac and Windows compatable. It doesn't come with any installation software, instead it gives you a website to go to where you can download the program for whatever OS you use.

  • How is the audio quality. How clear is the sound if your sitting in the middle of the class?

    I baught a voice recorder last summer for class and no matter what i did i could never get good audio sound, just a lot of ambient noise and echo.

  • Saw this on The View a few days ago. I take a lot of notes/minutes during meetings ... this would be a god send. Off to the store!

  • I won't stop until I have a pen so smart that it's using ME to write.

  • lol!

  • impressive technology

    but i see no real need for it whats wrong with just making copies. why store it on a pen

  • well the whole idea is to link what you write to what is recorded andif you loose your notebook its on the pen. and i don't really understand what your saying. copies of what?

  • what about an usb gum eraser that have an undo capability?

  • the most useless thing iv ever seen. people may think tha this is technology of future bu this is shit you know

  • give me one reason why this is a peice of shit. game systems are more useless.

  • You are right, gaming has a small role or absolutely no role in your life as where your future is in notes.

  • That is a good, very good product. Impressive.

  • thats just tho cool like omg

  • use a scanner and a tape recorder.

  • too bad you can sync the audio to ur writing... and there's lot more to the pen...

  • a great invention!

  • wow. thats a fantastic invention.

    props to the guy who thought of the dot idea

  • nerd

  • What happens when it runs out of ink?

  • tahts what i was thinkin lawlz, probly just a standard pen tube tho.. ya know?

  • you replace the ink cartridge like in any other pen.

  • pretty cool

  • :o The dots represent a secret code that disables printers! Oh no! :o

  • p0p

  • Pointless much?

  • awesome pen, too bad it requires special paper

  • you could most likely get a high quality scanner and make your own

  • That would just mess up the pages and everything... they have the option to print pages though, with a really good printer

  • too bad it has to be in a cradle to upload data right now. a bt or wifi function would be really cool to have on these pens for photoshop editing!

  • Pffft. That will become obselete as soon as we can input information directly into the mind like on Matrix.

  • yeah, and that's right around the corner

  • why not just rebuild a laser mouse to record it as movement while your drawing whit a pencil, same purpose exept multisurface

  • if it were so simple someone would do that already

  • yes your right, my wireless mouse would be impossible to turn into a wireless pen

  • maybe building device based on similar rule as laser mouse isn't impossible but sure it's complicated. I even read about a crew that try to do that 2-3 years ago but so far haven't hear any news about them so it isn't so simple :)

  • brilliant!

  • what if you run out of ink?

  • hmm i wonder but most likely u just get a refill dosnt seem to have special ink

  • you open up the pen and replace the ink caratrage

  • It's a cool gadget ... but I don't see how it is different than just scanning your documents. You can easily make PDF scans now from photocopy machines.

  • well see its portable.. thats what is so great about it. you can buy those bigger ones that have less memory and cost more, or cary a printer with you everywhere lol. also, this is a copycat of the Fly pen..... im guessing its the same company.

  • It syncs the audio... and all your notebooks are neatly organized into a software. You can now embed your pencast on other websites.. etc.

  • Cool Video A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • Seems kinda cool. Too bad you need special paper.

  • That is awesome! if i had enough money then i would buy one! :D
