Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A high-tech pen that copies your written notes and synchronizes recorded audio, so you never miss a word of a lecture or interview.
Why we love it:
The genius behind Livescribe's Pulse Smartpen is how it ties audio to your written notes, allowing you to tap on any word and have it restart the audio at the precise moment that you wrote that word. What a great tool for journalists and students! It does this by using a camera built into the pen and custom paper with millions of microdots to capture every stroke and notation. It also can do quick calculations, translate foreign words and record 3D audio. Each pen ships with one college-ruled notebook of microdot paper.
Who we'd give it to:
Both
college students and
jet-setting journalists would love to receive this handy
gadget as a gift.
Where to get it:
From
Amazon.com for a smart $149.95 for the 1GB model, and $199.95 for 2GB of memory.
