Branching out after years of PC support, the Papershow digital pen is now available for Macs, working very similar to a LiveScribe does, only it displays scribbles and written words on-screen instantly.
It works a bit like the PC version, with the tiny infrared camera located within the pen syncing any doodles or words scrawled on the interactive paper automatically to the Mac via Bluetooth. Images or spreadsheets can be transferred from the Mac to the paper, for writing-or defacing-instantly. While it’d obviously be handy in boardroom situations (with the words appearing instantly on-screen), it will probably also shrink time transcribing meetings, as the USB dongle allows 8m of roaming between the Mac and pen.
After being shown off at Macworld earlier this year, it’s now available across america, UK, Europe, Australia and Asia for $200 / £189. [ Papershow ]
