Electronic paper realized...

in the form of the NoteSlate.  I hope this is a real product, and if I were a student, I'd jump on it.  This device would seem to be better than typing notes on a laptop in class during lecture, especially in geology (or other science, math and technical fields), where there are a lot of equations, complex diagrams and labeled sketches.

UPDATE:  But is it real?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Wired magazine calls this gadget "wish-ware."

  1. I'm rarely an early adopter of new tech, and I'm watching and waiting for the tablet market to sort itself out with a bevy of new products this year (so far, the Motorola Xoom looks pretty good).

    However, this basic unit at the $99 price point seems like you can't lose, especially if all you want to do is take and organize digital notes. Still, I'd like to see a video of the NoteSlate in use before I would bite. No such video is available on line and there is some conjecture that the device may not exist.
