For all of you who still scribble notes on legal pads or napkins, trust me: There's a better way. With Logitech's digital pen and paper, I can jot down ideas that are easily transferred to my computer. A tiny camera embedded in the pen captures my writing strokes. When I put the pen in its cradle, the words are uploaded into my PC and digitized, allowing me to search them by keyword or e-mail them around the office. This tool has been a lifesaver at the construction site for my company's new factory. I just hand the contractor the pen and paper, and he draws diagrams or details changes. Then I distribute PDFs of his notes to my project managers, which is how one of them caught a major and potentially costly - design mistake.
