Have a similar product that is compatible with any notebook and any pen.
Not sure how the Moleskine works but this one is an "active system": you need a device gathering the data while you draw but it's definitely worth taking a look.
Cool stuff (plus they're French !).
I wonder how this works with a standard thick notebook (with hard cover). Can I just put the slate beneath it ?
And you still need to carry the slate.
One concern though, it's only made for Apple iOS gadgets which is a bit useless because Apple newest iPads (Pro) have this included...
It should just work in the cloud and be available on the web before anything else.
That is astonishingly close to my ideal. Android compatibility and a normal clipboard style clip and I think I'd be breaking out Fry-take-my-money.png
Seems like an interesting product. They should rework their website though -- the website was slow to load and very annoying to read, I left it in very short time.
> 229€ vs. 200$ (unfair as usual...)
EU prices tend to include sales (VAT) taxes. Does that US price include the sales tax?
- the pen is too big and low quality. It makes click noises when writing.
- you can't use any pen you want and writers like their pen (ballpoint, etc.).
- the battery lasts a week or so (not that much). When you use a pen you don't want to have to think about it (like with watches).
- not fast enough, sometimes it doesn't start quickly enough so you loose some words.
- not worth the 200$. The price is higher than some very capable full tablets with a pen.
- you can't use any notebook, you have to use their tablet notebook and buy it every time for 30$ or so.
- 229€ vs. 200$ (unfair as usual...)
So there's still work to do but one day this technology will be ready :)
