The Dane-Elec Zpen device provides you with a quick and easy way to transfer all of your handwritten notes directly to your computer, kind of like we have seen with the Iogear, the Quickies and the Mobile Notetaker.

Zpen works by attaching the recieverbox onto a notepad or clipboard (up to A4 in size) and switch it on. Now you can write down whatever or as much as you want, using the Zpen ballpen, and it will be transfered directly to the memorystick in the recieverbox. The memorystick can hold up to 1 GB of data = A LOT of notes!

When you then are done for the day and want to transfer the notes to your PC, all you have to do is to plug it into a USB port on your PC and open one of the three “tools” that are included in the Zpen set.

The Dane-Elec Zpen is available over at the Gadgets.dk website for 899 DKK (about $186 USD).

Pravan Mistry, a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, has come up with a cool way of digitizing 3M’s good ol’ yellow Post-it notes.

‘Quickies’ are stickies that have some intelligence and the ability to remind us about the task we ought to perform or to provide us at the right time with the information we captured in the past. ‘Quickies’ enrich the experience of using sticky notes by allowing them to be tracked and managed more effectively.

The project explores how the use of RFID, Artificial Intelligence and ink recognition technologies can make it possible to create intelligent sticky notes that can be searched, can send reminders and messages, and more broadly, can help us to seamlessly connect our physical and digital worlds.

Here’s a video demonstration of the Quickies:

If you had any doubts whether yesterday’s keyboard would really work the way the product name gave the impression of, here’s your chance to get something similar that is guaranteed to do the job.

The Iogear Digital Scribe Pen And USB Receiver ($60) will convert your handwriting into digital notes and drawings with a real-ink pen on any paper.

The secret to IOGEAR’s Digital Scribe is a USB receiver that precisely monitors the position of the pen to determine its movements. Use the pen as a mouse on screen, or enter data or drawings just by writing. The included OCR software converts your notes into editable text files that you can use in e-mails, word processors or other programs.

Includes 2 GP392 batteries and software on a MiniCD. Requires Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Microsoft Office 2000/XP/2003/2007.

The fun and cute little memo pad is guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of your colleges as they are passing by your office desk.

The head and the arms of the figurine are sticking up over the the water surface, with a silhouette of the lower body printed on the notes. When the bathtub is empty (out of memo pads) the rest of the figurine is revealed, and you can also see the drain.

The SPA Memo Pad Holder ($7) is available in green, blue or pink and measures 10.5 x 10.5 x 5 cm (3.9 x 3.9 x 2 inches).

Why settle with normal post-it notes when you can get mega ones? Maybe because it’s meant to be just that; a note, not an article.

The Genius Pads (from $9.60 per pad) looks quite fun though with their 30 x 30cm (11.81 x 11.81in.) mega format.

It makes a great alternative to an office note pad or sticky notes, and rather than sticking lots of little stickys together, there’s plenty of room on one sheet for all your information! It is VERY useful on a desk or by the telephone.
