14 DAY TRIAL // The idea of a digital pen that can record just about everything one's writing or drawing isn't exactly new, but it seems the people over at E FUN considered it hot enough to launch a product of their own delivering such features, namely the APEN A2 digital pen.
The APEN A2 is described by E FUN as a standard-shape pen that comes with a transmitter and software program that allow users to write and draw images on regular paper using normal ink.
A special transmitter and software program allow the pens to digitize handwriting and hand-drawn images with ease.
Hand-written materials are converted to digital text, which may be uploaded to a computer as a .jpg file and then they can immediately be shared by e-mail, in blogs or social media sites such as Facebook and Flickr.
The device digitizes and records handwriting while the unit is not connected to a computer and can record up to 100 pages in the receiver's memory.
Moreover, it will work with the wide majority of operating systems out there, including Microsoft Windows 2000 (SP4), Microsoft Windows XP (SP2/SP3), Microsoft Vista , Microsoft 7 and Mac 10.5 or above.
"These revolutionary digital pens are perfect for business and educational applications as well as social or personal uses," stated Jason Liszewski, managing director and VP of Sales for E FUN.
"They epitomize what E FUN is all about: functionality and fun. They take jotting down notes, drawing and annotation to a whole new level of portability by not requiring a computer. Owners of both Windows and Mac systems can take advantage of these unique digital pens," concluded E FUN's vice-president.
E FUN APEN's A2 digital pen will be available first on HSN this month with an MSRP of $99.99, which actually makes it fairly interesting for those users that are really in the market for such a product.
