If the pen is mightier than the sword, then where does that leave Livescribe's new 4GB Pulse? Not only can you write and take notes with it, but you can record audio too. And with the new higher capacity model being added to the lineup, you can capture 400 hours worth of lectures, presentations, or whatever else it is you plan to record. Other notable specs include an audio jack, integrated speaker, OLED display, and a USB connector.
The multiplatform pen added Mac support last November, and courtesy of a recent software update, the Pulse now boasts support for Windows 7. In addition, Livescribe says it plans to add an app store for the Pulse sometime this year, though the company didn't say what kind of apps will be offered.
Available in black or silver, the new 4GB Pulse carries an MSRP of $200. As a result, the 2GB model has been knocked down to $170.

For what you get, they are not at all expensive, and the headset (which does not have to be in your ears in order to record) does not get in the way of taking notes. I have been using my Pulse Pen for well over a year now, usually with the earphones on a lanyard around my neck or spread out on the desk in front of me. They are great, they work beautifully.

I'm happy with my 1gb pulse pen, and boy does it do wonders for college classes. Also has alot of other cool features like scientific calculator, voice playback of notes, and a few cool demos with apps on the way supposedly.

WOW those are expensive!! I think that would be awkward to write with my earphones plugged into the end like that. I think i'd rather have a regular MP3 player to listen to music/take notes and use a BIC! LMAO
