Zpen

MAKE notes, draw sketches and let your creativity flow without being chained to a keyboard, and turn any scrap of paper into your very own electronic notebook.

Back in the good old days, before the advent of the so-called "paperless office" and email, people used to write letters to each other to stay in touch. But tapping away on a keyboard seems so soulless.

The Zpen lets you claim back a bit of your personality and freedom, and gives you a chance to dust off your handwriting. Clip the receiver to the top of any piece of paper or notepad and it will record every single stroke the Zpen makes, even if you're just doodling aimlessly.

All you need do is plug the device into your USB drive when you get home (or to the office) and it effortlessly transfers your scrawl to your PC. If you need to convert your handwritten note into a document you can even transform it into plain text using the clever software provided.
