Handheld Learning - learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

Personally, I've never had much success with writing recognition software as my handwriting makes a medical doctors look like fine calligraphy!

I've no experience of this product but I suspect it's usefulness will be based upon the quality of its recognition software and thus how much time it saves. If you have to spend ages re-editing and correcting on a PC it doesn't really help.

What might be really interesting is if the manufacturers ditched the receiver part of the pen and did all the logic inside a PDA or handheld computer (so the handheld becomes the reciever) thus reducing the cost of the device and adding a potentially useful input device to the world of the handheld. Then if you wanted to transfer from the handheld to the PC you'd just sync.

We can already record audio to handhelds so we just need some good voice recognition and transcribing software but that's a little way off...
