Send digital messages with a pen? The D-Scribe is a digital pen, designed to look like a traditional fountain pens, however it converts your handwriting into digital form to be sent as either text messages or email via a Bluetooth connection to your phone. Simply write the recipients name and circle it to indicate who to send it to. A small built-in LED screen updates you on the status of your message and Bluetooth capability even allows for synchronization with a computer to convert pen strokes to commands. I love when new technology is integrated with distinctly low-tech everyday devices, coming full-circle and making for very intuitive devices.
