KDDI introduces Bluetooth pen

By Ryan Block

Originally announced last summer in a USB version, KDDI and Anoto of Sweden announced yesterday at the Wireless Japan 2004 expo a Bluetooth pen that grabs your writing with a very small camera near the tip, and sends it back to the mothership just like that (there a few others out there from Nokia and Sony Ericsson). The text can then be run through an OCR (but not if you're OCR-proof sloppy writers like we are) and used, you know, for whatever. Like taking notes (if you're a nerd) or getting her number (yeah, right).
