Good question. I'm using mine with OneNote, but in a limited fashion. In some ways, the Livescribe desktop program does remind me of Evernote, except for handwriting. And .... one of the things I would like to see is that they add the ability to annotate the handwritten notes with links and other items once the handwritten portion is uploaded.
After all of my seminars today, I wandered over to the exhibitors area and talked to a number of the exhibitors about how they might want to consider developing applications that would dovetail with the Livescribe system .... for example, preparing an add-on app that would allow me (the user) to draw a particular symbol on the page, that when clicked on at the desktop would automatically take me to (for example) my Lexis account and the case citation that was uploaded directly next to the symbol (the pen does have some text recognition capability ... and it is my view that, if you are trying to encourage law students to use your research program, and this is the PERFECT tool for law students, then when they are hooked on using Livescribe in law school, they will more likely come to use the research system that integrates with Livescribe than whatever the competition has going (that doesn't integrate).
Or .... I was talking to the folks that produce a document management system for attorneys, and they incorporate PDF, and Wordperfect docs, or Word docs and etc, etc, so why not incorporate audio and handwritten notes out of Livescribe?? It's all document management.
Most of the time, and this was one of the coolest things, when a particular exhibitor would see my pen demo (or one of the attorneys who saw me using it at the seminars would ask for a demo), and then they found out how relatively cheap the thing is for what you get, then it was "I am soooo getting that for my son/daughter who is in college right now."
I also talked to some of the legal publishing companies about thinking about putting the case reporters into an e format. I would MUCH rather purchase (and update) case reporters to my Kindle than have to shelve several hundred volumes .... it's a no brainer in my viewpoint.
So, I was generally out there evangelizing about ebooks and "magic" pens today. And, what was really interesting from a personal perspective is that being able to relax and listen to what was being said (because I knew I could always go back and replay something later), actually made me more alert to what was being said ... not less so (which I thought might be the case).
This is turning out to be an interesting conference ....
