Song-Playing Scrawlers

Pendio by Yeongkeun Jeong Provides Audio Entertainment While You Write

So long as you have your Pendio by Yeongkeun Jeong, you don't really need to carry your iPod or your tablet around for entertainment. The unassuming device isn't simply a writing utensil, its core comprises some tiny electronic components in addition to its tube of ink.

When viewed from one side, you might likely mistake the implement for a pencil. It's carved beautifully from wood and integrates a very fine metal tip that could look much like a sharpened end of graphite. One section of the apparatus does reveal its unexpected second function. A numbered strip and a small red marker become indicators that the Pendio by Yeongkeun Jeong operates as a radio. Turn the dial to select your favorite frequency and listen to music while you make notes.
