Bluetooth/wireless pen input device

Apr 24, 2010 4:50AM PDT

ok I have been searching to no avail for a digital pen that streams instantly through bluetooth or is wireless for note taking. I have a net book so i do not want a receiver or a tablet pad. I would like to use it and just write without ink on my desk while I take notes. I would appreciate any help thanks

well how does a wireless mouse figure its position? therefore I assume then would have to use the same tech right?

Look at the size of the sensor in the mouse.

It's certainly too big to be used like a pen. That's one reason you don't see that used.

You found your product. I'll only share I've seen such come and go over the years.

Tell us how it works out for you.

i'm hoping does the 800dpi actually transfer to a nice resolution? i'm not that tech oriented and appreciate your feedback

Sorry no.

But that's not the goal it seems. I can only share I've seen such ideas over the years and if you want proof about how good it works, look at how many use such a thing and how many you find for sale.

But you want it so you should get one.

Just sharing. I have a pen tablet and write apps for touch screen computers, cell phones and more.
