 Apitek's MyNote
digital clipboard is a simple and inexpensive device that lets you take
notes without the need for all that pesky paper but without all of the
frills and significant digits of a tablet PC. The device, and it's 32 megs of internal flash memory, can store 130 pages of notes and can upload to any Windows PC via USB. It's battery powered, and not directly rechargeable, so you'll want to by five NiMH batteries along with it and it should go about 20 hours on a charge. Try that with a tablet PC. You can get one now in Germany for USD 130, no word on a US release.
It'd be perfect for the back-to-school EcoGeek. Save yourself all the piles of unorganized papers and just make a file for notes on your computer.

While cool and useful for getting handwritten notes into your PC, this device still uses up normal paper (there is no display, it just records the movement of the pen).
how much paper?

Yeah, but how many pieces of paper does it use, versus regular hand-written notes? If it's one versus the regular 5 for each class, then this is definitely worth it.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
