Livescribe Pen

One of my most favorite gadgets is my Lifescribe Pulse smartpen. I bought it last year and used it quite a bit, but have not really started to use it consistently until now.

It is essentially a ball point pen that can record audio as your write. Then when you want to hear the audio again you simple touch the word on the page with the pen it repeats back what it heard when you were writing the information. This is great because if I miss something in a meeting I can simply go back and listen to it again, using my notes to cue the pen to the right place.

Even better I can sync it with my computer and it transfers all the notes to the computer. I can listen to the audio there or search for a word or phrase I have written.
