The video still shows a lot of lag between when the stylus touches the glass and the pixels in the app show the pen trail. This needs to be heavily optimized or else it will make their hardware a lot of engineering work for nothing and users won't be happy. At this stage, from the video, it looks to have similar latency as other existing iPad sketch apps and those have no hardware dongle or stylus (and cost $100 less…
It's a neat idea, but the lag is a dealbreaker for me. I've been looking/waiting for a pen based note-taking solution, even if it's a unitasking solution, to get rid of the heavy hardcover sketchbook in my briefcase. My use case is simple, I just want a digital copy of my notes -- I don't need any OCR or anything fancy like that, and I'm not convinced that a LiveScribe is the way to go. I had high hopes for the NoteS…
like the noteslate, except in production lol and also, based on demonstrated technology ( kent displays' reflex lcd screens )
not having used one myself i cant personally vouch for the tactile feedback from the stylus/paper combination, which is paramount for me. But im thinking of getting the related 10.5" no-image-save version of this, i dont see myself uploading my notes to my computer and all that, 90% of the notes i make are meant to help the thinking process and i never look at them again, and i make a lot of notes. Id love to not waste paper doing that. But id stick to paper ( and fountain pen as suggested below ) if the experience isnt as good, tactile feedback and that certain umm "seamless-ness" that pen and paper has is very important for me.
