Zoom meets Flash meets Digital Pen

I use a Nokia Digital Pen to take notes and draw with, occasionally beaming stuff to my phone. It’s nice. But, check out this Digital Pen called Fly. It’s really interesting.

The device seems cool, the tech seems cool, and the website is so cool too. All of it seems targeted at the Zoom crowd – tweens 11-15. I don’t know if an older teenager would still be interested in this (though I am – at almost 3 times a teen).

I don’t like highlighting gadgets, but this pen is good example of trying to fit into someone’s lifestyle rather than building a gadget just for the tech of it. And they are building a story aouond it, as well. Very good.

But, I have seen many children’s toys that are overdone and, while the marketing is truthful, there is nothing substantial to it. If I ever get my hands on one of these, I’ll be able to see if it truly is a mobile device or just the latest electronic gizmo craze for kids.
