I have used other digital pen system, mainly based on the Anoto functionality, and I am very curious to how the EPOS actually works in real life.

It seems odd to me that it works based on positioning relative to the USB hub and not be `reading’ from the dot patterns as the Anoto based system does.

But with the price point they are talking about, it’s going to be a good seller I think.

I’ll be getting one to do some testing with very soon.

I too have been waiting for the purchasing of this product. I wanted to get it for my son who just went off to college, but I guess I will have to wait a bit longer. Hopefully not too long. I really want this product. OK gusy stop teasing us and let us know where we can purchase the USB Digital Pen.

Oops, meant to say I first tried to get it to recognize the drive using a virtual PC app (Parallels Desktop, for those in the know). Sorry for the confusion.

Ok folks, I just bought a Dane Z Pen for $129 at Samy’s Camera in Los Angeles. I little pricey considering the $80 estimate that has been floating around. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: This thing is COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! There is absolutely no documentation with the device (which, by the way, looks nothing like the EPOS model). So I clipped it to the top of an old spiral notebook, wrote about a paragraph’s worth of nonsense, and plugged it into my laptop. I have a Intel Macbook, by the way, so I tried to get it to recognize the drive, but no luck. But would you believe it, on a lark, I opened the drive using Mac OS 10.4 and there is an application on the drive that allows you to read the memory on a Mac (and save it as a PDF file to boot). The notes on my laptop’s screen were an exact image of what I’d written in my spiral. I am just blown away by the possibilities of this device. It is packages as a Dane-Elec ZPen. There are images and scant information at Dane’s website (www.danedigital.com). Enjoy!

If they can’t keep their potential customers updated about something as simple as the release date, how is their customer service going to be? They’re unprofessional right off the bat. I think they had about a dozen pens made up to send to reviewers and then pffft the whole company went into vapourland. I’m really disappointed because the product was supposed to rock but I’ve got to have a solution so I’m moving on to research a different (and available) product. Boo hoo!
