Hitachi Maxell has a new pen that features Bluetooth compatibility. Seems like something like this would be a nice replacement for graphic tablets, because frankly, I have a difficult drawing/writing something by hand unless I can see what I've already done. Hitachi Maxell Corporation announced on the 25th that they will begin OEM shipments of their slimmed-down "DP-201" Anoto style digital pen. This is an Anoto digital pen that supports USB and Bluetooth. When writing characters on paper that features specially printed dots, they will be recognized by an internal sensor, and what was written will be transferred to the PC. The miniaturiazation/modulization of the optics and miniaturization of the electronic parts and circuitry allows the pen to be 15% smaller and 20% lighter versus the current "DP-101U/B" model. The pen measures 157 x 21 x 18mm (W x D x H, including cap), and weighs about 30g. It features an internal lithium ion battery which allows for roughly 2 hours of continuous writing. A USB cradle is included that features data transfer and charges the pen.
