 Excellent resource October 3, 2008

I bought this before taking my foreign language class, and WOW is this the coolest helpful tool!?! Easy to use (after updating necessary updates) and amazing what this can do. Helps me study, definitely gets everything I miss when I am writing and not listening...it does pick up background noise (other students,coughing,etc..) but it also picks up the instructor clearly so playback is great still.
Good for class lectures October 2, 2008

Great product but be sure to keep the pen with the paper...you need them both for it to work. I'm in college and it's great for class lectures.

I am not one to write reviews!! I am only doing this to hopefully save some from the frustrations I went through!! When I first saw this product I believed it to be a gift from the Heavens! I am a very serious student and bought this product because I have a learning disability which entitles me to record class lectures. I never before invoked my right to capture lecture because tape records are so bulky and I don't want people to know I have a disability. I bought this product thinking this would be my Holy Grail. After using it Religiously for almost two months a fellow student bumped my hand. The pen fell, hit the ground and became unresponsive. I called the company and explained what took place. They told me SORRY it's my problem they can't help. I was extremely upset and said to the lady, "you're telling me I just wasted $200." The lady explained that they don't cover the pen being dropped and they are aware that it does happen and that it does break the pen. I asked to speak to the manager and then she explained that there is none at her office. I was quite ANGRY and hung up. HOWEVER I was lucky enough to have purchased this pen from Target who has a 90 day return policy. They exchanged the pen for a new one. Obviously the new pen wouldn't sync with the notebooks I had so I had to buy all new ones. (No big deal, I just saved myself from wasting 200 dollars)
Well after having my new beloved device for two days it rolled off my desk and smacked the floor thanks to its circular design. The pen still works but now I'm taking it back because I believe it's inevitable that this pen will hit the ground again and I can't afford to rely on it. I'm afraid if I rely on it and drop it after the warranty from TARGET runs out I'll not only loss my money but also all the data recorded and I'll be screwed. If you're a guy or gal who drops your cell phone DO NOT buy this pen.

This Pulse pen is fantastic! As a post-graduate student, I can see the potential for use with undergraduates and graduates. The capability of this pen to record audio and written notes at the same time is wonderful. Being able to then go back through the notes and pinpoint where in the recorded lecture they are located is such an advantage over the typical voice recorder. I purchased this pen for my daughter as she was beginning Post-Secondary classes. She has had a wonderful experience with the pulse so far and says it has improved studying for exams by allowing her to go directly to what the professor was saying when she was taking her notes.
I also purchased a pen for a friend who was starting back to school as a non-traditional student. She was skeptical when I showed her the pen and really did not want to use it. She had been using a voice recorder for her classes and was satisfied. She changed her mind the first time she used the pen and is raving about the pen now! She said studying for the next exam after beginning to use the pen was a breeze. She did caution me, however, to remind anyone who used the Pulse to make sure that it is recharged faithfully. "Because, when it quits recording in the middle of a lecture because you forgot to recharge it, it is horrible!" Livescribe 2GB Pulse Smartpen (APA-00002)

They laughed at me when I shown them the Smartpen. I don't blame them, I am a consummate gadget freak and I felt like I was 13 years old again, although I'm five times that age.
The Smartpen works as advertised and is invaluable at conferences, meetings, lectures and interviews or anyplace one would like an easily accessible audible record to reinforce written notes.
Chances are I won't be using it daily, but it has already paid for itself at a recent conference and series of lectures I've taken it to.
Bravo!
