Livescribe's Pulse Smartpen makes notetaking fun
Andy Ihnatko: I've owned exactly one really nice pen in my life: a $150 Lamy 2000 fountain pen. It looked nice, held a huge amount of ink, it was fun to write with. And three seconds after a friend borrowed it to write down a phone number, she sent it sailing over a balcony. Two flights of stairs later, my suspicions were confirmed: A concrete sidewalk is indeed harder than a 14-carat gold nib covered in platinum.
