As what the title says, it’s a revolutionary combination. Why? You’d definitely wanna ask me several questions why it’s so special of having these two simple gadgets together. It simply forms a combination that lets you write freely on any paper or any surface. What does it mean? It works this way, when you write using the digital pen on your notebook or pad of paper, you need only to clip the included USB flash drive to the top of your notebook or pad of paper. What you write will be all recorded and saved to the USB flash drive, which you can then connect the flash drive to your PC or laptop, to transfer what you’ve writen or sketched and they all can be accessibled digitally on your PC/laptop. You can also create PDF or JPEG from it or even automatically convert your hand-written words into editable text.
The digital pen basically captures all your written information of sketches on any paper accurately in real time by the latest positioning technology, and automatically transmits them to the USB flash drive wirelessly (via IR) for storing, which you can then download to your PC. The digital pen is powered by standard battery, which you need to replace periodically. Whereas the USB flash drive can be recharged while connected to your PC’s USB port. Furthermore, the digital pen can work in either with ink or inkless stylus mode, which its ink takes standard mini refill. Its handwriting recognition supports Windows 2000/ Windows XP Pro. It’s definitely handy for taking notes in the meeting or saving sketches or diagram in the classroom. The isn’t any info about the size of its USB flash drive or any options for different storage sizes. But I think it should be able to easily store up to few hundred pages of your sketches. This handy gadget will be available for as low as $80 sometime this spring.

[...] I first thought that this gadget, Quicklink Pen Elite, was a strong competitor to the EPOS digital pen, which could let you write and store the text and then transfer to your computer for storage and editing etc. In fact, it’s not. It’s simply a highlighter, but with pretty close concept that what the EPOS pen does. Instead, the Quicklink Pen Elite allows you to store up the text that you highlight on papers. Which is simply handy, you can transfer what you have highlighted to a computer, so you can then sit down, review, digest it and even edit it comfortably. [...]
