Maybe with some more features. I take a lot of notes when studying so being able to search and tag notes would be handy. Backups are nice when your notes are valuable. It would also save me carrying around huge binders full of paper.

I do like the idea of putting things onto an SD card, but the $100 price tag seems to be way too high.

Then again, for people that spend a lot of money on notepaper (how much do people spend over say, 3 years? More than $100?) and pens there might be a positive tradeoff.

If this device existed and worked as advertised I would but one and use one.

If it is thin and light I would carry one everywhere - the way Kindles get carried around. I currently carry pads and paper everywhere.

However - I don't want features. I want a really good writing/sketching/doodling experience - something that an iPad cannot supply. The only feature I'd want is the ability to easily get my notes onto other devices

Why shouldn't we carry an iPad, a Kindle and a Notepad?

how do you find the text recognition in evernote using a camera to take pictures of notes? I've tried using it with business cards and a nexus one to no avail - would be great if this worked

I don't scan them. My handwriting is truly terrible. I can barely parse it myself, I wouldn't put someone's servers under the kind of strain needed to pull it off successfully!
