This latest USB turntable model from Ion is quite similar to the one from Veho that was released last year. Simply plug it into the nearest USB port and you are ready to start converting your old vinyls to digital files.

Featuring adjustable gain, anti-skating control and high-speed vinyl recording function, the belt-driven USB Turntables can also be connected to any home stereo with CD or auxiliary inputs. This means you can spin your records through your regular system when you’re not converting them.

Whether it’s Whitesnake, Wham, Spandau or some ancient disc belonging to your dad, the USB Turntables can convert it. And it doesn’t matter what speed the records in question are – these Turntables can handle both 33s and 45s.

The new USB Turntable from Ion is available from Firebox.com for £69.95 (about $116 USD).

The Livescribe Smart Pen is a useful tool capable of recording audio and text, and then have it transferred to a computer through a USB docking cradle.

At first glance the Smart Pen looks like a very oversized pen and that’s because it contains an ARM processor along with a host of other digital accessories including a built-in speaker, headphone jack and OLED display. While writing, the infrared camera in the tip scans special dot-covered paper at 72 Hertz and records everything you scribble down.

At the same time, users can record audio through two noise cancelling microphones located near the top of the pen. For extra noisy environments, the Livescribe comes with special 3D recording headphones which, according to company reps, can record a whisper from the back of a noisy auditorium. Recorded audio is synchronized to the text for easy playback.

The Livescribe will be available in March in a 1GB ($149) and a 2GB ( $199) model. More information and a couple of videos can be found at TG Daily.
