Smartpen takes over from dictaphone

This is what I need to liven up my conference meetings. The new Livescribe Pulse Smartpen records audio and logs keystrokes as text - then you can retrieve the audio recording by tapping on the section of handwritten notes. Brilliant. It's the next must-have gadget, and is sure to spread fear and loathing in face-to-face meetings in Berlin in October. Be the first to have one, and relish the one-upmanship when everyone slaps their big Montblancs on the table.
