Great product, expensive shipping to Europe November 16, 2008

Like already mentioned in other reviews, the pen works remarkably well. The only thing that I like less is the relatively high pressure that I need to apply to make the pen register what I write.
On the positive side the PC SW, which needs to have at least twice as much features to make it really useful, manages to find a search word in my written text. Sometimes I hardly can read my own handwriting, so this is remarkable.
Major drawback were shipping and customs fees to Europe, almost doubling the price. If had not really, really, really wanted the pen, this surely would have stopped me from buying. And at the time of ordering, Amazon did ship the spiral notebooks to Europe but not the journals, pity.
 Don't listen to the nay-sayers- it's great! November 3, 2008

I've read a few of the negative reviews, and they all seem to find the Livescribe software to be of issue. I use Windows XP, and I haven't had the first problem. I use mine for college, I'm 49 and going back to school after so many years, this has really helped me keep up with all the lectures and notes. It works wonderfully. The recordings are clear, playback is easy, and I sync all my notes to my computer with no problems. The only negative I have of the pen is it is a little large, but, not so much that it is uncomfortable to write with, and for the size, the weight is very light.
To the reviewer who said his ink ran out after a week, I'm still using the original cartridge and have written over 35 pages of notes, in a 5 week period, so he may have gotten a bad cartridge.
I only paid a little over $100 for mine, I got it on sale at Target. I would absolutely buy it again, and I recommend it to everyone that asks me about it.

The pen does what is promised of it. For those in the business world, I think it's a great tool.
Ever go to a meeting, take notes and can't decipher what you wrote? A quick double tap of the pen will take you right back to that part of the meeting and you can play back what transpired.
This is really an amazing item. The only drawback I have is that the microphone is so sensitive it actually picks up me writing -- this may be because of the way I hold the pen (I'm a lefty).
I travel a lot and before when I wrote notes they would get back to my office all crumpled and beaten up -- with the pen, the note pages are exactly as I wrote them and I can upload them to a free hosting site so I always have access to my notes no matter where I am.
Highly recommended.

This pen is awesome, and the programs that are going to be added will make it even better. The pen has really helped me out with my school work and is very good. I love my smartpen. I recommend this pen to anyone that is a student, especially if you are in college.

They have a linking issue with some computers, including my Toshiba notebook. I am unable to download from the pen to my computer. They have yet to provide a new dll file to resolve the problem, but claim to be working on one.
