If Wizcom's and C Tech's dreams come true then we'll all soon be throwing away our ballpoint pens in favour of their new pen scanners.
C Tech's new C-Pen 800 has an impressive 8Mb of memory, enabling it to store around 3,000 pages of text. At around five seconds per swiped line, that's enough space to keep you plagiarising for months. The £292.58 C-Pen 800 also boasts an Outlook-compatible calendar function and a built-in rechargeable battery.
Wizcom's £129 Quicklink is very similar but has only 2Mb of memory. More interesting is the company's new Quicktionary pen. With this £99 gadget, you can supposedly scan a line of foreign text and the Quicktionary will not only translate it for you on screen but, if you plug in a pair of earphones, it will give you the pronunciation too. It has a 400,000 vocabulary, and the ability to recognise 24 languages.
