BTW...it is quite nice for learning a language such as Chinese...especially since one can associate a sound with the word and replay the sound by clicking on the word.
The biggest problem we had with the pen is the inability to upload archived data back into the pen.
If you fill up a few journals, the voice data is coupled to the location of the notes in the journals.
Once removed from the pen, there is no way to reload the data...so the voice notations are no longer directly accessible just by clicking on the journals.
A removable flash memory would be a great design enhancement to the pen.
I'd rather use my el-cheapo eBay Special tablet PC than one of these janky electronic pens.
$25, runs Windows 95, all the old school apps I need, and it even has a barcode scanner. Expandable via Compact Flash/PCMCIA. Wireless support. Barcode scanner.
Compare that to a $100+ fancy pen that requires constant supplies of paper and a host computer.
I'd probably lose the pen. I wouldn't lose a giant Telxon PTC-2134.
Something needs to be done about this obnoxious font-size!

Might I suggest a base font size of 13px, with a line height of 1.5em(1.7em has always been too much for my taste), and the width of the article content near 600px?(this block of text is 660px wide, with a font size of 13px, and a line-height of 1.5em)
Just for the record, this post is damn near 11" wide on my monitor. Most of the others are an almost as equally egregious 9.5".
Or, could you at least let us know when you're done futzing around with it? That way I only have to custom tailor it to my liking once, as opposed to three to four times a day/week.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort.
Makes a good size for the permalink, dontcha think?

Here is a sample of how we are using it:

I'm still amazed at how it can record and playback audio simply by pointing the pen at any part of a page you've written to.
I'm a keyboard note-taker myself, but for the students still hand-writing notes, this will be the next "revolution" in note taking. Mark my words
