“Great pen, lousy software” was the gist of our review for the Livescribe 3, a.k.a. “The World’s Smartest Pen” when we got the chance to use it recently.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, the Livescribe 3 is a so-called “smart pen” which takes handwritten notes and transfers them from paper to screen on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. (In other words, it’s something of a next-generation Newton stylus for those old enough to remember Apple’s long-abandoned line of PDAs.)
Well, while Cult of Mac may not have given the Livescribe 3 a gushing review, for those UK consumers who want to make their own minds up, the iOS-friendly, microphone-equipped device is available in stores now — in either a £129.99 standard edition, or a £169.99 version, which comes with both a leather portfolio and year of Evernote Premium service.
Disagree with our previous comments about the Livescribe 3’s “awful, awful … almost unusable” app?
