Hi, the whole gang, and welcome to the most recent release of Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, the segment that every so often enjoys a reprieve from watching '50s French melodramas to dive into the most recent contraption declarations.
Paying the wages of apprehension this week are a scratch pad and pen combo that records all your notes, a live-spilling 360-degree camera, a souped-up Nintendo handheld, and an in-flight diversion framework that really may keep your brain off the way that you're tearing through the air at 500 miles a hour in a tin can.
As usual, these are not audits, and the evaluations are demonstrative just of the amount I'd like to attempt every item.
No Skin Off My Back
We've for quite a while had Moleskine's Smart Notebooks, which permit you to scribble down your contemplations and transfer them to Evernote through an application.
The new Smart Writing Set takes that thought and lifts it to another plane, letting you rapidly transform scribbled notes or doodles into advanced records you can alter utilizing a PC or any portable application - no cell phone camera required.
There are a couple of parts having an effect on everything here: the scratch pad, a brilliant pen, and a versatile application. The Pen+ is the key element - it has a camera that catches your ink scratches as you make them.
The note pad - which Moleskine is calling the "Paper Tablet" - has an undetectable framework to help with that catch procedure. You can spare records to Google Drive and Evernote, or fare them for use somewhere else. The pen and journal are US$199, and new Paper Tablets cost $30.
While I compose as a profession, I'm not the best at taking notes. I most likely could be somewhat more sorted out - I don't utilize a logbook application with any normality. I like the thought of incorporating the greater part of my musings, thoughts and arrangements, and Evernote appears like an administration I ought to utilize considerably more regularly. Maybe this could give me simply the kick I have to enhance my association.
