Smart Pen proves that the pen is mightier then... the computer?

As a writer, I am thrilled to announce the FLY smart pen.

This great new gadget is a digital pen that records everything you write and allows for easy transfers of all of your writing onto your computer. Now you don't even need to drag your laptop to class or work, you can simply carry this fat ball point pen and it will record everything you write down with it. Of course, you'll need to put in the AAA batteries and have the special paper, but all in all, this is one of the new gadgets I'm excited to try.

More then merely a cool new gadget, the FLY smart pen is also an educational tool. Priced at around $100.00, this digital pen is a great gift for children and students who can actively learn through the act of writing as well as profit from having their notes backed up on the computer. It is no surprise that the creator of the FLY smart pen is no other than LeapFrog, a company that has reached huge success from the creation of educational computers and electronic toys for children.

This digital pen comes with software programs that include math exercises, FlyTones (which teaches children about music), a calculator and a schedule mode. Additional software cartridges can be purchased at an additional cost.

While many other digital pens have been previously released on the market, the FLY smart pen is the only one that read software right off the page as it moves. This new technology bodes well in a market where time is of the essence and new gadgets are always widely accepted with open arms.
