Hi MisterMe,

First and foremost, thank you very much for responding to my questions...

I have never used one and was confused on what type of medium to write on. The Pen-It web site is rather incomplete and I could not find any video demos or Keynote or PowerPoint demos.

I found several web sites stating that the Logitech pen is not supported for OS X (unfortunately):

Sorry, since I didn't seen any visual demos of these products in action it was hard to understand what those notebooks were for.

Since those notebooks have a limited number of pages, I guess that one can not use them infinitely.

Am wondering if these products just take a snap shot of the image drawn (and converts it into a an image format such as a JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and / or GIF)?

Also, does it convert the hand written text into actual text on to a computer where one can use a text editor to (save, edit, copy, paste) the contents?

Or is it just a scanned image?

What's the different between A5 and A4 notebooks?

Yeah, what's depressing is that all my searches on Google refer to the Pen-It products as being in "Beta" format and also that it crashes sometimes on Intel-based Macs running on OS X, read somewhere that a stable version will be available in 2008.

See: http://www.pen-it.com/Pen-it/news/39...A5751F133.html

I figured someone on this forum might know of a better digital pen (for OS X) than Pen-It.

Again, MisterMe, thank you for responding and I hope my explanation clarifies my inquiries (please believe me that I was not being lazy in my original posting - I just didn't know how these things work).

I also agree with you regarding the $400 price being a little too steep for a seemingly beta product.

Sincerely,

Unnsse Khan
