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.
