Wonderful Little Gadget & 21st Century Dictionary

I primarily use my C-Pen 600C for two tasks: (1) reliably scan short snippets of text, and (2) carry a full dictionary and instantly look up words. The best I can say about this gadget is that it just works. In this sense, it is just like an iPod, a piece of technology that solves a very concrete need using common-sense design principles and the right level of technology. C-Pen's interface is extremely intuitive thanks to its rolling button and pervasive use of contextual menus. The scanning of...

A Great Value Growth Device!

I bought it on Amazon 3 years ago for about $60. Later we found it's not that useful. Then I came back to Amazon and noticed that it's used unit selling for $150.Wow! I ended up make almost $70(after Amazon fee) by keeping/using it for 2 years. I never seen such a value growing product. I should have invested my money in this. Amazon should be renamed Amazing!...

Cool gadget

I really like this pen.I am a college student and find it useful to alleviate highlighting and marking in text books.All key info is easily stored and reviewed for tests.The software that comes with the pen is not Mac compat.and I find it to be really buggy in windows.Terrible software.Battery life is pretty good.And pen works very well.I can really capture what I want with ease - it is pretty accurate too.Not very cool looking design, but people do stare and wonder what in the world I am doing...

Never got it to dependably synch

Boy, what a great idea. I bought the pen because I do a lot of research and wanted to be able to take notes which could then be downloaded into my computer for editing. That way, I could quickly find and incorporate source material into my own work.As one reviewer mentioned earlier, my scanned material was messy after transfering it. I didn't mind that too much. It's still one heck of a lot faster than retyping handwritten notes.It's my inability to consistently synch that caused me to give up on...

fun little toy

That's exactly why I bought this - as a toy for myself. As a self-named computer guru, I love playing with things like this. I was surprised, though, at how accurate it really is. Like other reviews have said, I found it to be more accurate when holding at about a 45-degree angle. Other than that, it's pretty much true to the marketing claims. Comes in handy doing research away from home. I don't find it necessary to have to photocopy pages or bring my laptop with me. Just slip this in my pocket...
