Win a Livescribe Smartpen prize pack!

Imagine if everything you write was recorded digitally, stored in a computer and ready for you to look at it whenever you want. And not just what you were writing, but what you were listening to at the very moment you took that note.

Livescribe developed a breakthrough low-cost mobile computing platform inside a pen. The system uses the electronic Livescribe smartpen and specially designed paper to enhance productivity, learning, and self-expression.

The 4GB Titanium Pulse smartpen with advanced processing power captures handwriting and simultaneously records audio and synchronises it to notes. Users of the pen can later on check out what they've written with software even if the notepad has been lost. The Pulse smartpen offers more than 400 hours of recorded audio as well as storage for applications like a guitar that you can play using your pen and a sheet of paper.

Livescribe has been kind enough to give us four of these impressive pens to give away to GadgetGuy subscribers. Each of the four Livescribe prize packs includes 1x Livescribe 4GB Smartpen $299, 2x 4-Pack of A4 Notebooks (4-pk), 2x Ink Refills, 1x Leather Case, 1x 4-Pack A5 notebooks, and 1x 2-Pack Journal of Paperblanks Handtooled Mini Wrap and is valued at over $500 each!

To go in the draw to win one of these great devices, you just have to tell us:

If you wanted your pen to do anything, what would it be?

Answer that in 25 words or less and you go in the draw to win. We'll be picking the answers which ring out best to us.

To give you an idea, here are some of the things the Livescribe smartpen already does:

• Translates Spanish
• Lets you play guitar or piano
• Teaches you how to say "beer" in several languages
• Acts as a calculator
• Lets you play Poker on a piece of paper

What would you want your pen to do?
