CES 2006: Top Ten Gadgets
The Register’s write-up on the Epos Digital pen and USB flash drive bundle” got me all excited…for a moment. Just think, you can write notes when you’re on the road without having to worry about lugging a laptop everywhere, transfer them to your PC on your return and leave XP’s scrawl-to-text transfer software to convert them into real text, all for under 50 quid.
Then it occurred to me that the last time I used a pen for anything other than signing cheques was probably a decade ago! I doubt I could even write analog style these days. So, I might as well stick to the laptop, or writing on my cellphone and SMS texting it to myself for upload. Technology! Who’d have it?
