Editorial Reviews :
With the Logitech io personal digital pen, your handwriting becomes an effective tool for the digital world--without changing the way you work. Write or draw on special digital paper and your words and images are both inked on the paper and stored in the pen's memory. To transfer these handwritten documents to your PC, place the pen in its cradle and download them. Then, easily share, store, organize, and retrieve them.
The Logitech io digital pen remembers everything you write when you are away from your PC. In addition to a regular ink cartridge, it includes an optical sensor that captures your words and drawings. A built-in processor digitizes your handwriting, storing up to 40 pages in memory between downloads.

Based on functionality from Anoto, the Logitech io digital pen encodes on the basis of microscopic dots printed on the paper. Since it always knows exactly where you are, you can even accurately edit the original page at a later time. Use Post-it Notes and Cambridge Limited notebooks enabled with the Anoto functionality to capture your thoughts.

Protect your information with electronic copies, so you'll never forget or lose handwritten documents again. Find the information quickly with your PC's indexing and searching functions. Even have your handwritten notes available on the road.

Simplify your organization by writing calendar entries into your electronic organizer and adding handwritten tasks to your electronic to-do list.

Improve communication by circulating hand-drawn sketches and drawings and meeting or class notes without photocopying. Write e-mail when you're away from your computer for automatic sending on download.

The Logitech io digital pen comes with a rapid-charging USB cradle, an AC adapter, helpful software, five ink refills, one Mead Cambridge Limited Notebook, one 3M Post-it Notes Pad, and a two-year limited warranty.

Buyer Reviews :
Logitech IO is based on the Anoto system ...The problem with this pen is that it does not contain the bluetooth wireless connectivity that the SonyEricsson Chatpen does which would make it universally usable anywhere. Who wants to drag the Cradle around?
Letter recognition can be done through Windows'/Office's own Document Imaging, so that solves that problem. The paper will not be much more expensive than most other paper. Afterall it is regular paper with a fine dot system printed on it. You will even be able to print it yourself with a regular ink-jet printer, should the need arise...
The pen is a step in the 'write' direction as another reviewer mentioned, yet we are still waiting for the heavy-weights to bring their pens out. For the pen to be more usable, it NEEDS to be wireless, without silly download-cradles.
Good for the the person that just uses it around the house...
