The pen is powered via a micro-USB at that end.
It has a small LED near the base that flashes different colors depending on its status on use - for example, red if the battery is getting low or while it's charging white when it's live and in use. The Pen+ itself is a good-looking, reasonably slim and sleek pen that I found surprisingly comfortable to hold and write with (especially compared to other digital pens that I've tried out in the past). I had a chance to try one out, and found it very nice for the purposes of writing by hand - with some reservations. It currently sells for $199 ( vendor price). The Pen+ works with a mobile app to record everything you write in the notebook in digital format. This is why companies such as Moleskine, which sells what can be described as high-end notebooks, have hit a successful niche.Īs a compromise between yesterday's and today's writing technologies, Moleskine recently introduced its Smart Writing Set, which includes the Pen+, a version of the Neo Smartpen N2, and a notebook designed to be used with the Pen+ (and which, according to Moleskine's PR, "is purposefully designed with extended rounded edges to look like a tablet"). For this reason, entrants located outside of any of these countries will not be eligible to win.While many of us spend our days with our fingers on the keyboard and our eyes on the display, some people still prefer a more old-fashioned means of idea generating and communicating: paper and pen. A complete list of countries where Stripe is available can be found here-winners will need to have a Stripe account created and connected in order to receive the prizes. To be eligible to win the grand prize, second place, or third place prizes, you must be over the age of 13 and residing in a country where Stripe is available at the time of entry.
