Gifting Him a Livescribe 4GB Pulse Smartpen as His 50th Birthday Gift?
Having thought for quite a while what to gift hubby whose 50th birthday falls on the 11th September, finally, a visit to my friend’s house gave me a great birthday gift idea.
While chatting with my friend, I saw her college daughter listening to her lectures with a pen. Well, to be exact, it’s called a smartpen.
A smartpen is a pen, but it’s no ordinary pen as it records everything you do. Yes, everything you hear, say, and write without lugging your laptop around. 
Since hubby is a high school teacher who has to always attend meetings, seminars and short-term courses BUT is slow at taking notes, gifting him this high-tech Livescribe 4 GB Pulse Smartpen may help relieve his stress of taking notes.
With this Livescribe 4GB Pulse Smartpen, he just needs to start recording and jotting some keywords during the meetings, conferences and courses. This definitely makes note-taking and minuting easier and faster as he can use the audio recorder for details that would take too long to write out.
Once he is at home, he can upload his notes to his computer or laptop via the streamlined and hassle-free Livescribe Desktop software and review all of them with gratification.
I am not concerned about its battery life and memory as it is more than enough to record for 8 hours a day with no re-charging needed!
What I am considering is the paper cost factor. You know, this digital pen needs Livescribe Spiral Notebooks with the special dot pattern and not any normal cheap spiral notebooks.
