OK. So this Smartpen thing.

WiredJournalists.com keeps running Google ads for the Pulse Smartpen, and frankly I've seen ads for it all over the journo blogosphere to the point of annoyance.

But I do keep noticing them, and for the first time ever, I clicked on a Google ad for pure curiosity about the product.

OH. MY. GOD. I am drooling.
My inner gadget nerd screams I WANT ONE I WANT ONE I WANT ONE!!
My inner journalist says "Hold on, let's research this first, you were lured in by advertisement to a sleek and flashy page with loads of promises from an obviously biased source."

So I google some reviews of it, and all of them say mostly the same thing -- if you need to write notes a lot, you will love it, even though there's some bugs and kinks in it.

Some random tech geek blog I've never heard of but he seems to know...

Since I have a Mac, I won't be able to get one until the end of the year anyway, but I am curious: Have any of you tried it yet?
