I’ll be able to use it for my D&D games, drawing during lunchtime, and just taking notes whenever I go away on holiday. The best part is I can take it to games days and roleplaying games and jot down notes that I can quickly erase and replace.
Two concerns though:
1: Heh, is it actually gonna materialise??
2: How much lag is there between what I write and when it appears, and will it appear directly where I put the stylus? I hate digital signature machines because it always appears lower and slower than what I’m actually writing.

I like your microphone idea. Along with the microphone, they should also give it voice-to-text capabilities so that recorded lectures can be taken down as text, then you can format it later in to a study sheet.

If a notebook at this cost turns out to actually have some power, it might actually make a dent in the market. Too many previous products have been weak comparative speaking to higher-priced products. This product looks promising, however.

I def want one of these for when I go back to school and for work as well. Is the battery rechargeable? I want the blue one, and where can I buy one?

Hey this is a pretty good idea.
it should have a a button on to to skip between subjects and then a button on the side to skip between pages, like page 1 to page whatever.

what a load of shit, do a semester of notes on it, only to have it corrupt/break/get stolen/make you realize you need more than one page to refer too….. damn should have spent the money on 20 pads and 30 biro pens.

it really would be a great college tool if it had the ability to record audio and time stamp notes within that audio recording. could have application in the board room or the lecture hall. just a thought.
