An Israeli company is working on a replacement for our excruciating input methods. They call it the VPen. This small, portable pen allows you to write on any surface and then whatever you write is converted and inputted into your device in real time.
With all the latest gadgets and software coming out to help us get our thoughts and writings into our PocketPCs this one could really be something. However, it won't be released for some time. One of the cool features is it will allow for Text scanning. Oh how many times I could use a small portable scanner in a week!
"Designed to address the problem of natural communication in a complex digital world, the VPen™ gives users freedom to express themselves in the most natural way-with handwritten words and ideas, instructions and drawings.
VPen™ combines two familiar tools, the PC mouse and a regular pen, into a single digital writing instrument....
...VPen converts handwriting to ASCII text and sends it straight to your handset, PDA, PC or iTV.
It’s versatile. Write e-mails, SMS notes, calendar entries and URL addresses. VPen™ supports both Latin and Asian characters.
It’s intuitive. You use the VPen™ just like you would a regular pen. Backspace, punctuate and capitalize with a gesture."
