Intelligent writing pad

For those who thought that typewriters and keyboards were a step in the wrong direction, the Digimemo from Selwyn Electronics might provide a decent compromise. This nifty gadget lets you write on paper, and will automatically save everything onto the internal memory, or onto an optional CF card.

Apart from saving the original drawings and inscriptions you make, the pad also comes with a handwriting recognition feature. The pads batteries provide 100 hours of continuous use. One pad, with batteries and pen, costs a total of £82.30.
