Pen Transit Captured as Ink
I've really tried to make this work. As you can see from the attachment, the pen appears to capture the motion of the pen as I travel across the paper without the pen actually touching the paper. I assume the issue is that I'm not lifting the pen far enough from the paper as I travel - but it's a really unnatural motion for me to use a sharper angle bringing the pen to (and from) the paper..

Fantastic system for e-note taking
Very clean system for digitizing handwritten notes. Audio record feature is stunningly helpful for historic note taking and contextualizing difficult notes. Coding and interface are very tight and foolproof. When I show this to people, they are so impressed by the freakishly futuristic tech :) Pen is big in the hand, but I was used to it within about 15 seconds. I can write for hours and don't feel fatigued or distracted. Ink cartridges don't last too very long, and when it gets low, the ink isn't as smooth. But the cartridges are not too pricy if you buy them in bulk, and they are small, so you can keep a spare in your pocket or purse. It's so nice to have an electronic copy in your phone immediately, and it is instantly email-able to coworkers or etc. Sometimes for creative writing or brainstorming, having a good old pen and paper session cannot be beat—dictation, word processing, or other digital solutions can't quite compete with the spatial richness of pen and paper, and lightscribe makes it digitally relevant too. If you need to be digital, but find yourself picking up a pen and paper often, then this is definitely for you.

Great potential but limited software
The Livescribe 3 has great potential as a note taking device, but its usefulness to me is limited by the software. The Android app's syncing abilities are still limited, and it needs to have the ability to automatically send pages to Evernote that the iOS app has. The handwriting recognition is better than I would have expected with my scrawl, but would be greatly improved if the software had any learning ability.
