Oooooh … another GADGET!
I’m a bit (mmk, a lot) “old school” – I really love good ol’ pen and paper – so when I spotted this Mobile NoteTaker, my eyes immediately lit up 🙂
Mobile NoteTaker is the world’s first and only truly portable handwriting capture device that enables you to write in comfort on ordinary paper and then upload your handwritten notes and sketches to a PC.
Everything you write is captured. A built-in LCD confirms what you write is saved; meeting notes, lecture notes, sketches or any other information you need to save while away from your desk
Here are the features:
- User can take notes while being away from the computer in meetings, classroom or at home.
- Stores 50+ pages (A4) in its flash memory.
- When connected through USB, in “Online Mode”, the pen’s 2 mouse buttons and hovering functionalities are activated.
- LCD status icons, including “Page No.”, “capture mode”, “Battery status” etc.
- Handwritten notes, drawings and sketches can be stored and retrieved according to file name, date or any other criteria decide by the user.
- Optional handwriting recognition applications in 11 languages.
- Rechargeable battery (through USB).
- Optional Bluetooth or RF connection to computing devices or cellular phone.
- Supports Windows VistaTM and Office 2007 digital ink features and utilities.
The idea of being able to write and sketch offline and then have my scribbles transferred onto my computer is awesome! And at only R399.00, it’s not too expensive.
I have bought the DP-UFD-1 (wireless model) It will not work in online mode whatever I do. It also does not have two mouse buttons. Is this model supposed to be able to work in online mode, or is it only the model with the mouse buttons?
Hi, got hold of this website http://www.inkdigi.co.za and it explains exactly the note taker and how it works.
I got myself one and its fantastic!!!
A definite need to have for anyone taking notes. Refils is cheap between R4-R6. Works in Mac also!
Great support from the company as well.
Hi Steve … so sorry, but your comment got caught up in my spam filter and I’ve just spotted it now! Thanks for the link 🙂
Taz! I’m going to take you up on that … I’d *love* to test it out and write about it.
My email is webmaster[at]justbcoz.co.za
Cybercentre is selling the mobile note taker for R399. I could arrange a test for someone that is interested in trying it out and blogging about it. https://www.cybercentre.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28&products_id=248. I have limited stock so let me know.
Refills are about R15 +/-.
As the importer of Intellipen into SA I am really glad to see this thread.The Intellipen is just a whole lot better than the Mobile Note Taker displayed here. Take a look at http://www.intellipen.co.za for the real thing
Sorry upfront no freebies but i will gladly do a demo of this awesome product.
Once you see it you will all flock to

to buy one or several
Oh awesome!! Thanks Justin 😀
Sorry guys, been busy here – let me make some plans with suppliers – will keep ya posted! 🙂
Doesn’t look like it, hey?
What a pity …
Are they not going to have us test this?
Now that’s a GREAT idea, imagine all the backlinks! (“,)
Hey Justin … how about sending through a sample or two for Chris, FeistyFemale and me to review and blog about?
😀
Really cool device, we use it here around the office! 🙂

Awesome – maybe they can have us all test it… it would solve so many of my headaches….
Anybody who has seen my notebooks will understand why. They works of art – but sadly not easy to file and carry around…
I’ve contacted my mate at Want It All and alerted him to this thread. He’s very busy, but should pop in, perhaps something will happen 🙂
Ok, so who is testing this and doing a write up?
Chris get your gorgeous arse in gear and give us some feedback…. you will either save us money or turn us into gadget freaks….
Hi Johan 🙂
The brochure I looked at online says that it come with a pen refill but other than that, it’s a bit vague so I’m really not sure about how it integrates with other applications, if at all … meh.
Great – just wondering about the pen, though. Is it comfy, and what about refilling (costs)?
It also only mentions MS Office, how about other applications?
I love writing and doodling and drawing … holding a pen or pencil in my hand and moving it across paper is quite divine.
That is so cool. except I think I have forgotten how to write!
Oooooooooooooooh. A definite must get.
What!!?? You turned down a free gadget?? (I presume you would get to keep it, right?)
I would SO like to be a Gadget Guinea Pig 🙂
Ah yes, the gents over at Want It All offered to send me one to test out and blog about, just never got around to doing it. I would be interested to see how it works exactly and how well..
