I have colleagues that have such devices.
Seems useful to transfer all writing to digital and voice record as well (so you actually have a record of people saying what.
The only part I don’t like it you have to use the special grid paper.
ah, that was going to be my question, as to whether it required special paper or not. thanks for preempting!
4 x A4 80 sheet pads is $40.
Whilst this product does offer special functionality, and it can be argued that the time saving justifies the cost, I hate getting locked into a product then get constantly reamed by the company for consumables that cost so little to make.
Ozbargain genes win out.
Thanks :)
You know that the software allows you to print your own grid paper - on plain A4 sheets - if you don't want to buy the proprietary notebooks?
I googled this product and googled 'print your own livescribe paper'….just came back with custom paper of some sort so I assumed not..
Cool if true.
Plenty out there. But you'll need to check if your printer is capable of doing the resolution fine enough to get the dots:
You think Apple will price match?
not for a 24hr special
Helpful info on the product here (inc. Print Your Own Dot Paper).

Just bought, been looking or a while, good price.
Can you print the dot paper at Officeworks or something? Their laser printers must be high res.
got the link last night - but it took me back to the main catch screen..looks like a nice tool for meetings..
Anyone know how long the ink lasts? Also where to but more ink cartridges. I've googled but they all say designed for the Pulse… Anyone know if they're compatible?
sold out. Best price I could find on Amazon was $113. Good deal.
I retract my statement. I don't think they are sold out if you click the link above. If you go to the site normally it won't appear.
Just grabbed one. I've been considering getting one for a long time for work. Cheers OP.
And if you are planning to use it for work like I do, keep in mind that you should be able to claim this as work expense for tax purposes.
Anybody used this in an exam?? would be good to keep a soft copy of what you wrote on your paper
You wouldn't be able to unless your exam paper is on dot paper too….
Aside from the restrictions on electronic recording devices in exams, the paper has to be the special dotted watermarked paper to record what you are writing. So, I don't think that would work.
Bought.
I've been thinking about getting one of these for ages. I find ozbargain is good for pushing me over the edge on these things. I struggle to think of a purchase I've regretted making, but there are several I regret not jumping on.
Retail Therapy ftw.
Was contemplating but Amazon says the 2GB doesn't have the rubber bottom half…whereas 4GB and above has it.
COTD lists "Rubberized grip" as one of the features. Also, the chart in Amazon says that the 2GB version has only 1 cartridge, but COTD says there are 2 cartridges in this package. Maybe a different release of the same product?
Thanks, that's moved me closer to buying… :D
My pen has just arrived. It looks great but it doesn't have the rubberised grip. Sorry cap_n (COTD, you've done it again). There are 2 cartridges though, one on the pen and one spare.
No free shipping?
Unfortunately not.
I grabbed one. The Minister for Fun and Finance is having a birthday soon, so what better present for a workaholic who loves pens ?
I was think about it all night and decided to grab it this morning…
I got 10% off as I had started the order and then stop
I think the coupon code is 10OFFApplied
Let me know if it works
Strange that it says 24hr special but the countdown timer shows more than 24hrs…
Thanks for the code, will try it.
Somehow there is nowhere to input the code. :(
lol bought a bike, bought a pen this week.. thank goodness i am SAVING money.. ozbargain has cost me a fortune!!! (the 10OFFApplied worked.. thanks! Hope the cartridges arent expensive?!)
My order status remains in "Payment received". Is COTD always this slow?
So does mine, but I think they are usually pretty slow. I was hoping to get it before my next series of lectures on 26 July. Here's hoping.
Just received mine today from auspost. All good.
If you Register your pen between July 1st -31st You also get a free years upgrade to Evernote Premium which i think is $45US. So you can count that into your bargain too :P
