Big Wide World

well, school is starting, and i'm all about making it easier for myself (as much as possible). so my next semi big purchase is the QuickLink-Pen Elite

here's what it does:
Used just like a yellow highlighter, the QuickLink-Pen Elite allows the user to collect notes electronically from any printed text – anytime, anywhere!

Scan and Store up to 1,000 pages of text in English
# Transfer stored text to PDAs (PalmOS and WinCE), Smartphones (PalmOS and Windows Mobile 2003) or PCs via IRDA Infra red connection.
# Transfer stored notes to PCs via USB connection (and automatically create MS Word documents).
# Read aloud the scanned notes using the text to speech function, either through the built-in speaker or headphones.
# Scan and store small images that can then be transferred to a PC at a later time
# Display the definition of any word in the notes, using the included American Heritage® Concise Dictionary

totally excited about this next purchase. should be a real productivity booster. will let you know more after i start using it if anyone is interested.
