I'm the assisitve tech person for all students, except d/Deaf & HOH, at our college. I'm researching new 'AT' and this product just went to the top on my list of new 'stuff' to check out ASAP. It could have applications for students who are blind, low-vision, and may otherwise be print-disabled. Since I also create training materials and train students, faculty, & staff...I'm always on the look-out for AT that has a braod application, is affordable, has good tech support, and is user-friendly. The SmartPen certainly seems to fit the bill. Am I excited about this product!!!

These are probably some of the biggest and most important questions that need answers as I have noticed when talking to other people, just as Adam has. To add to Adam’s list of Q’s,

These are probably some of the biggest and most important questions that need answers as I have noticed when talking to other people, just as Adam has.

I know some of these have already been asked, but I figure reiteration will just show varied market demand. 1> How long will the battery last? 2> Will it come in any other colors? 3> Will it be retractable or have a cap? 4> What is the recording capacity? 5> What are the limits of the microphone ear buds? 6> Will it work with handwriting recognition software? 7> Is there a manual record option on the pen? 8> Do you have plans to design notebooks that can holster the pen inside of it? 9> Besides translation, can it preform any other functions? (calculation, currency conversion, word definition, thesauruses...) 10> How many pages of information can the pen store? And how many pages will come in a notebook? These are the nagging questions I keep getting asked when I talk about the pen to my friends. I know you guys are still ironing out the details, and some of these questions can't be answered until closer to your launch, but any response would greatly assist me in spreading your gospel to some extremely eager ears... ps. the most eager of ears are tattoo artists and graphic designers...something to think about I have a few questions.

1> How long will the battery last?

3> Will it be retractable or have a cap?

4> What is the recording capacity?

5> What are the limits of the microphone ear buds?

6> Will it work with handwriting recognition software?

7> Is there a manual record option on the pen?

8> Do you have plans to design notebooks that can holster the pen inside of it?

I hope you have a Mac OS X version of your product as soon as possible in 2H 2008...or maybe even earlier ;) - What about international availability of your product, namely Europe and distribution in Europe ? Thanks and all the best for the launch. Your product looks very interesting. I have two questions and comments:
