E-ink writing pad, Noteslate.

#1
Although it's obvious, I didn't immediately consider that these sketches could be saved. Once I did, my interest in something like this grew several-fold. I love to doodle and jot notes, I miss it. Now, I can do it again...

BTW, I don't know anything about the company. Maybe it's vaporware? I just happened across this on Kottke.org. I'd love to know more.

Great submission markkat and don't worry about it too much. Whether or not this specific company is real, I'm not sure, but I am certain the tech to do a product like this exists.

I've been looking for something to replace pen and paper for quite sometime and have never quite taken to any of the available solutions (Livescribe, Tablet PC) but this looks spot on.

I'd have liked to have seen a video though, too early to tell whether it will actually make it to market, as advertised, as polished looking and as low priced.

Fingers crossed.

The "copy" under the photos is terrible. Doesn't seem real.

Awesome concept. I was thinking about this yesterday actually (while looking for the pads of paper I like, which are virtually impossible to find!).. I really think for these products to be successful, there needs to be an obsessive level of thought and craft put into how it feels. For one thing, in some of the screenshots you can see a shakiness in the lines... I've found any of the electronic writing surfaces I've used too sensitive, and without enough tactile feedback. There's a certain friction to pressing a pen into paper that makes for confident lines. I'd like to see this sort of product done really, really well... I'd certainly love to abandon my obsession for pen & paper.
