It's so annoying that I will probably never be able to get one of these pens. They don't ship outside of the US and the company seems too small to really make it. My best bet is if they get bought by a bigger company, but seeing how they are trying to roll this out on their own doesn't make that very likely.
BTW this whole thing will never work without the special paper. It's the paper that allows the pen to see where you click on the page. They do say you can print your own paper. So you don't need to buy expensive notebooks if you don't want to (although printing the pages probably might actually cost more than buying a $5 100 page book).

I can probably get you one and ship it to you.

They let you bring that laptop in?

The software we use for exams in lawschool loads up before anything else in Windows. You have to reboot into the software. You can't open any other programs and no devices get initiated besides the keyboard and mouse, i.e., no internet connection. The laptop is useless for cheating. Some tests are open book, but it is of VERY limited use. The time limit makes looking things up a virtual impossibility.

That would be great. Now to wait if they ever start shipping to non pre-order customers :P
shmokes:
So long as I place an order before April 10th, I am a preorder customer. Preordering was nothing more than giving them your name and email address so they could contact you when it became available. However, even if I order it now it's not exactly shipping. The delivery time is set for 4-6 weeks. Also, shipping is highway robbery at $25 (from them to me -- there would still be shipping from me to Holland).

Oh wow, you are on the preorder list and you haven't ordered yet? Order quickly and order me one too 8)
