Logitech IO2 Pen - User Report
I've been using my Logitech IO Pen for a while.

It really does work great.

You can modify the pages after you've written to them. The pen file is updated with the changes. It work great.

So you can use a page for a topic. You can keep updating that topic page. When you upload the pen contents, the page gets updated. So the page you see on screen continutes to look like the paper.

In the end the trick is to just use the search function to find what you want. The OCR function is a pain in the ass. You sit there with a two page layout. One with the page image and one with the translated text. You need to correct what isn't correctly converted.

Now if need to format the text. I'm then dealing with word. So that is really a third step.

As for diagrams, I have not figured those out. The best thing is to use your favorite drawing program to create a better version of the diagram.

The flip side of all this is that I still have to take my notes and load them on to a twiki page for my team to read. So I am still retyping the notes.

From one perspective, this is cool. From another, it is still a notebook that you can search without flipping pages.

Interesting technology. Not sure if I want to keep it going for the long term. Especially when it is faster to retype the notes than to convert to text.
