When it comes to storing information on-the-fly, nothing beats a paper and pen combo. Using a notebook, phone, or PDA is sometimes more of a hassle, but that hassle pays off dividends at a later time when you need it. Logitech's io2 offers the best of both worlds, where this digital pen actually keeps a record of what you write on it's digital paper. This ability is not limited to just words but sketches and charts as well. The io2 can store up to 40 pages worth of information and has a battery life of 8 hours before requiring a recharge. The io2 starter kit costs $150 and comes with the digital pen, a docking cradle, and a digital notebook.
