I would like one with a finer tip for taking notes when interviewing clients. Rick, I have the Targus stylus and use it some.

I haven't even HEARD of this.  I'll have to look into that too...I suppose if it came down to the LiveScribe and the iPen I might as well just go with the iPen.  Thanks again for the info!

We will see. It will take some adjustment from paper to screen but I did it before with a laptop tablet. I am really looking forward to trying it out and sharing.

I hadn’t heard much about the LiveScribe pen but hearing you talk about it has at the least, inspired me to check it out.  On app I love that I thought I’d toss out…the TV Everywhere app by DISH. It was put out by my employer and I originally got it on my iPad just to run through it and familiarize myself with it in case a customer had a question, but now I use it all the time, and especially when I travel. There are times when I’m in between books or am just burnt out that I’d rather just relax and be entertained; winding down for the night, a layover at the airport, whatever, and TV Everywhere is perfect for this. With it I can watch any live or recorded program off my home receiver as long as I’m somewhere with a 3G or wifi connection.  It’s a great way to kill time on a long flight, too.  I’ll check back for more info on a more responsive stylus for the iPad, but until then I think I’ll take a look at the LiveScribe.  Thanks again!

My phone is just a few months old. It took me a while to figure out how to take the picture of the guys outside the AAC. Then my step-daughter had to tell me how to retrieve it. And I'm the technology person in the family. Too funny. Take care. Angela, looking forward to receiving the picture. My phone is just a few months old.

I will send you the pic that we took.  I told you that my phone was new didn't I?  Well, I'm still learning to use it.  Took me a min. to learn when I get messages, I couldn't see them.   I'll be visiting you again :-) Hey Pat, love your article!
