Anoto-based Pens From Logitech

Posted by michael on Wednesday October 23, 2002 @05:38AM from the little-dots dept.

flanksteak writes "Logitech has announced the IO Pen, a ball-point pen with a memory. You write stuff with the pen, then drop it in its USB cradle and your bad handwriting appears on your PC. The pen is to be released in November. How cool would this be with support for a wireless protocol?" We've run some previous stories about this - no telling how well it actually works until it's tested, though. And at $9.99/notebook, the paper is about three times as expensive as regular paper.

Dude. You're supposed to write *with* the feces, not *on* the feces.
