"About the size of a standard ballpoint, the Io captures and stores a digital version of a person's handwritten notes. These can then be downloaded, still in handwritten form, to a computer." Interesting. Seems like an improvement on the CrossPad idea, an idea I always like, although I didn't like the actual product that well. My main complaint wasn't the technology, but the pen. I'm picky about pens. (BTW, Hook, do you want your CrossPad back? :-)
