I personally prefer paper. The idea is nice but reaching a perfect product is hard. I won't buy this, some thoughts:
- the pen is too big and low quality. It makes click noises when writing.
- you can't use any pen you want and writers like their pen (ballpoint, etc.).
- the battery lasts a week or so (not that much). When you use a pen you don't want to have to think about it (like with watches).
- not fast enough, sometimes it doesn't start quickly enough so you loose some words.
- not worth the 200$. The price is higher than some very capable full tablets with a pen.
- you can't use any notebook, you have to use their tablet notebook and buy it every time for 30$ or so.
- 229€ vs. 200$ (unfair as usual...)
So there's still work to do but one day this technology will be ready :)
- elsen 11y agoThese guys: http://www.iskn.co/ http://www.iskn.co/ Have a similar product that is compatible with any notebook and any pen. Not sure how the Moleskine works but this one is an "active system": you need a device gathering the data while you draw but it's definitely worth taking a look.
- rloc 11y agoCool stuff (plus they're French !). I wonder how this works with a standard thick notebook (with hard cover). Can I just put the slate beneath it ? And you still need to carry the slate. One concern though, it's only made for Apple iOS gadgets which is a bit useless because Apple newest iPads (Pro) have this included... It should just work in the cloud and be available on the web before anything else.
- yxlx 11y agoSeems like an interesting product. They should rework their website though -- the website was slow to load and very annoying to read, I left it in very short time.
- Avshalom 11y agoThat is astonishingly close to my ideal. Android compatibility and a normal clipboard style clip and I think I'd be breaking out Fry-take-my-money.png
- DanBC 11y ago> 229€ vs. 200$ (unfair as usual...) EU prices tend to include sales (VAT) taxes. Does that US price include the sales tax?
