I-Pen Digital Pen Writer Ipen Optical USB Mouse Input Device
Manufacturer: Finger System USA
I-pen Mouse is a pen-shaped mouse for PCs that allows natural writing just like using a real pen. Utilizing the latest optical navigation technology, I-pen is lightweight, durable, and accurate. With I-pen Mouse, the user can perform natural handwriting to do more creative work or special tasks that were previously impossible with a mouse. I-pen Mouse is designed to work in "mouse mode" for fast point-and-click action and also in "pen mode" for writing and drawing actions. Two modes can be changed manually with the switch of a button. Because it requires a very small surface to write on, it is ideal for laptop users and perfect for places where limited workspace is available. Applications: Write a note on your presentation just like a paper with Finger WhiteTM. The traditional way of showing a presentation used a laser pointer to mark the point of importance which leaves no marks for later references. Now you can write a note, mark, draw, and keep it until you erase it. Browse your favorite website and write a note when there is something of interest as if you were marking the newspaper. Your notes will be saved even after you've visited other pages until you erase it. Draw and write on your desktop like a drawing board. Leave an important message on your desktop for reminder. You can even save your inputs and e-mail them later. Write a letter using the I-pen Mouse like a pen and the OCR converts your handwriting into typewriting text. Too lazy or slow to type letters? Then grab the I-pen Mouse and simply write like a pen. You can also input your signature.

Good idea, very bad product
I've used a Wacom tablet before so I may have expected too much from this pen off the bat. I'm sorry to say I can't list any Pros on this product.
Cons:
For starters, the tip depresses like a mouse button for it to react, so forget about drawing in Illustrator/Photoshop or sketching in a flow chart program. This is why I bought it so it's basically useless for me.
Second, the shape of it is unnatural, I'm constantly trying to turn it to get a grip. Maybe the technology isn't there yet but if they can't make it shaped like an actual pen you won't find it comfortable to use.
Third, it's not wireless. When you use the pen and point it anywhere near vertical the cord flops into your hand, which frustrates me constantly.
Unfortunately I'm thoroughly disappointed with this and will try and return it. I had high hopes that I could replace my Wacom tablet but this product won't even come close to that.
Digital Pen
I use this pen for live video projection presentation with my laptop, very handy, product quality is average, should price at .99
Friggin' cool little pen
Okay, so I'll keep this short and simple. Buy this! The optical sensor works great, the design is comfortable, and it looks cool. The only thing that would make it better is if it was wireless. I almost started using this as my everyday mouse, until I got my wireless Trackman. Very impressed. I would highly recommend this product.
Difficult to Use
People should know that the iPen does not come with any kind of ink and you must purchase the ink separately. Even if you buy good quality ink, the pen dries out fast and will need to be dipped in again after only a few letters. Also, I could not get the iPen to work with my iPhone, the ink smears on the glass cover and does not actually write notes into the phone even with the iNote app.
I'm Off To Buy A Wacom...
This is great for a mouse but Vista and Windows 7 will not recognize it in their handwriting recognition programs which makes it unusable for my purposes. I want to be able to "jot" down notes. I'm an author. This is not going to waste. I'll use it as a mouse but it just doesn't make the grade in handwriting or drawing. BTW, someone mentioned that Win 7 finds it as an Ipen. Not so. It thinks it's merely another mouse. Save your money and buy a tablet.
