Awesome new tool for students

LOL...I accidentally ended up with one of those calculator watches (due to a mix up) and although I felt like an idiot it was kinda handy. It was a great way to store phone numbers, and had options for world time or many time zones. Since I was traveling around at the time I wore it and it was pretty cool um...usefull. I put appointments in it and my locker combinations...it was just like a cell phone with respect to light data storage.
I wouldn't wear it now but it served it's purpose. I suppose you could use it to store some discrete formulae. and help speed up light math.

I have a calculator watch. I asked the wife for one last year for my birthday. It is low profile, and looks very sharp. unfortunately, having a calculator watch now isn't nearly as neat as it was back in middle school. ;D I wear it occasionally, but it is kind of pointless when my cel phone does everything it does - better I might ad.
Those buttons are super difficult to hit too since they are flush with the face.

Lame.
I rather just use the money and buy a few hundred ballpoint pens.

Or you could threaten a nerd and get them to write all the notes for you...unless you are the nerd. ;D

This could work for classes I don't take with my girlfriend. Shes my little secretary otherwise :-D

Is this really a tool for students? I thought it was a tool for businessmen. My dad was thinking about buying one.
Just actually watched the video. The addition of the audio recording is seriously cool. I just was a week at a clients site talking to them about changes to the software. I write down a ton of things, but often I lose some details. Or there is a discussions afterwards about what we actually agreed upon. Would be great just to click on your notes and hear what you were speaking about.
I really must have one.
patrickl:
Oh bugger, seems they only sell to preorder customers and only to US residents. Too bad the company making these is just a startup.
These pens have existed for years. Although they only recorded the writing and not sound. Forgot which brands sold them. maybe they will upgrade their pens to record audio too.
