One of my favorite gadgets purchases of 2009 was the Livescribe Pulse smartpen. The pen records each stroke that is made on special paper. It also records what is said. Then, at a later date, I can display the text or hear what what going on in the room at the time I wrote a specific note. It really is quite remarkable and is now something I use each and every day.

Livescribe is currently running a holiday promotion that looks like a great deal. From now until the end of the year you can get a 4GB Smartpen ProPack for just $229.95. (Normally this bundle, which includes a special edition 4GB black Pulse smartpen, an AC/USB Pro Charging cradle, ink-to-text transcription software from Vision Objects, black premium leather case, and a 50-page starter notebook is $284.80.) They’ll even throw in free shipping.

For information on this bundle, or their other products, visit the Livescribe website.
