The Zpen is a mixture of technology and a throwback to the old days when we used to use pen and paper to record things instead of PDAs, mobiles, and computers.
All you have to do is attach the receiver to the top of the paper you are writing or doodling on and the Zpen will record it in its 1GB memory device. Not only can you transfer all the information to your computer via USB you can also edit it.
While it looks like just a gadget, it has lots of potential uses - when you are in meeting taking notes, writers who brainstorm ideas on paper, parents who want to keep the scribbles their little artists draw. Nothing is lost and no time wasted typing up those notes.
Perfect for those who are forced to take a break from the computer but really can´t bear not to have everything stored on it.
