Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Livescribe 1GB Pulse Smartpen (APA-00001)
Customer Review: Great hardware; fire the Marketing guy!
Summary: 3 Stars
The pen really is awesome, but the desktop software suffers from some bad feature definition.
Good:
o The pen records audio and synchronizes drawings made in the notebook with the audio. So, you can search the audio by clicking on the diagram, and it will take you to the point in the recording corresponding to the time at which the drawing was made.
o Pen refills and replacement notebooks are reasonably priced.
Bad:
o The Livescribe Desktop software is poorly designed and non-intuitive.
o Access to the Internet at my company is from behind a firewall. Every time I start Livescribe Desktop, it tries to contact the mothership, and I have to cancel a dialog that tries to register the device. There's no other way to register, and there's no way to disable this "feature".
o Diagrams drawn with the pen can't be shared with others except as PDFs, so there's no way for anyone other than me to synchronize diagrams with the audio (assuming they have the Livescribe Desktop software installed). Uploading proprietary content to the Livescribe server isn't going to happen, even if I could get past the proxy. There should be a way to share sessions without going through Livescribe's server.
o Can't download previous recordings once removed from the pen, so it can't be used as a portable player.
This product is recommended for students; not recommended for professionals.
