Product Description
Ever taken notes and missed that important word or phrase during a lecture or interview? At first glance the Pulse Smartpen appears to be a fancy looking pen, but in reality has a built in recorder with up to 200 hours of recording time. With either the built-in mono microphone or the 3D recording headset (included in every purchase) you'll capture every word linking audio to what you write, so you never miss a word. Missed something? Tap on your notes or drawings with the tip of your Pulse smartpen to hear what was said while you were writing. Using Livescribe's DOT POSITIONING SYSTEM, microdots printed on Livescribe dot paper enable the infrared camera at the tip of the Pulse smartpen to track everything you write down. The included USB Connector recharges the smartpen and transfers your written notes and audio to your PC, where they can be organized and even searched for words in seconds!

this pen has a problem with keeping time. over time, the clock speeds up. you have to keep resetting it to get the time to stay right.
other than that, the pen works as advertised. the pen speeds up about 10 seconds per day. that's a lot of time to be off each day. also, the battery over time loses its ability to hold its charge. the battery sealed in, so you can't replace it. you'll have to replace this pen within 2 years for sure because the battery won't hold its charge.

I just bought the 4gb Pulse Pen by Livescribe.
The product is amazing and works perfect, either for my business meetings or for my MBA classes.
I am trying to think of a negative atribute to the pen and the only thing I can think of is the fact that you have to be careful, since the pen is all round and will roll down a desk easily. Since I like my pen a lot I try to be very careful with this aspect.
Other than that:
1)The recording quality is great either for small rooms or to large conference rooms;
2)The software is easy to install and I did not have any problem with it either;
3)Upload time is also good;
4)File size is not big (for the quality of the recording)
Looking for:
The application store (Livescribe says they will launch in december, but I am not sure). I bet we will see a lot of cool stuff to use with the pen.
In short: If you have to take notes, for your profession or studies, this is a MUST have product.
I highly recommend this!!
best college tool ever!!! November 8, 2009

Wow! This is truly an extraordinary technological wonder and products like this don't come along often - I'm certain that it will change the manner in which I study. While the Livescribe 4GB is rather expensive, its abilty to record notes, while seamlessly attaching audio to those notes is simply amazing. I've been using Microsoft's OneNote for most of the classes I've been taking recently - and that has been a fairly good product, but the ability of Livescribe to literally record your handwritten notes, attach audio to them, and then allow you to go back and review those notes (with audio) - all without the use of a laptop is simply phenomenal!
While the software that comes with the pen is sufficient, there are a few limitations that I suspect will be improved in future versions. The most notable problem seems to be the need to have a special notebook for each class (as one cannot, yet, separate existing Livescribe files into smaller units). Just the same, it's possible to examine the files on a computer although the the included software program is required to use all of the available functions when viewing/listening to files. Files can also be exported in a variety of formats (again, not all features will be available dependent upon how your files are exported) such as .pdf and Flash. While this may be a bit of an inconvenience, for me, this device is absolutely wonderful.
Another cool feature is the ability to upload your notes to a special location so that they may be shared with others - I've already tried doing this (as a test) with someone I know who is not very techogically savy and, again, the results were very cool!
I'm certainly going to show this to others I know (especially students) - this pen is certainly going to help many, many students.
