They have buckets of these things at the local Zellers here in Toronto.
It can capture your drawings to your PC (plus a ton of other stuff) this might be handy when drawing a schematic that you want to share.

How is this any better than a 2B pencil and a scanner?

If you don't have a scanner it's pretty handy. Hey for $20 it's an MP3 player too
It'll also remember several hand written pages of your notes. Of course it needs special paper and if you get bored with it you can always disassemble it (tiny camera inside)

once I saw an expensive digitizer in PC World video, just looks like a pen, wireless connectivity.....but costs a bunch.

it's a good stuff, I think...but at 20$..amazing. Does it has to write on some special paper or board?

Special paper, has zillions of little dots. Amazing the science involved if you read about the number of 2D dot combinations.

It's gotta be something like grey code on paper? You could probably print some of it.

I've heard some folks tried, not sure if successful. It's a light blue set of dots. Logitech makes a similar pen but it's much more expensive. The Fly Fusion talks too!

Can you get a better picture than that blueroom? Something exactly 90 degrees and a little better in focus. Maybe higher rez?

Rather cool. The best online price I have seen is $40.

Perhaps Walmart carries them.
