    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.

    Here is a sample of how we are using it:

    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.

    To help me in college, I bought one of these so-called "smartpens", totally useless waste of money!

    I mean, WTF is so damned "smart" about it anyway? As I wrote answers to essay questions, did it fix my misspelled words? Or did it alert me to my bad grammar and suggest better sentence structure? Did it ever, even once, give me the correct responses to any quiz questions? No, no, and no, it did not.

    Nope, next time I need to pass a class, I'm sticking to good old tried and true methods of test-taking, like copying off the A-student in front of me or just cramming copious notes inside my shirt sleeve.

    Stupid smartpen.

    To all the naysayers below, we're all aware that you could just as easily actually steal one from a bank, or buy a real security pen http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/MMF28908.html

    However, both of those choices defeat the capitalist spirit of this.

    Damnit! Not everything has to be a silly ironic statement or clever message. Do you really need attention that bad? Sometimes a pen is just a pen. You write with it. Buy 3 dozen of these for the same price.

    @combat chuck: The irony of your statement is that silly ironic statements are unnecessary grabs for attention. You could have said nothing, and had the same effect.

    Also, you're wrong. Irony and wit are the height of humor.

    @DeusExMach is a star-bellied sneetch.: Touché.

    I guess I was trying to say that you'd be spending $4 to get one pen so you could be mildly amusing for a minute. So just save the money and think of something funny to say for free. You might even get more laughs.

    @Grahmo: Yes, he can really steal it for free. If he steals it, he does not pay for it, hence it is free. It's not an oxymoron. It's redundant. But it exists to highlight his point on how paying for this is stupid, therefore it is not a syntax error.
