Livescribe Review could be a good source of information on the Livescribe pen from this company. The mobile computing platform in the Pulse and Echo smart pens was developed by this company. In August 2010, a Livescribe review for the New York Times called the Echo smart pen a brilliant piece of technology. The New York Times Magazine had a Livescribe review of its own, describing the Livescribe pen as one that never forgets. Technology for transmission of handwritten text from paper to digital media was licensed from the Anoto Group by Livescribe. To support the use of interactive pens in classrooms, Livescribe launched a collaborative resource portal. One particular Livescribe review raised a concern that students could use the Livescribe pen during tests and listen to their notes. Anyway, you can understand why a Livescribe review has said that the smart pen can make all previous life seem backward.
