Having desired a Wacom tablet for ages, I have yet to acquire one. Perhaps, it was the price tag, my lack of expendable income, or just the overall clunkiness of the tablet that hindered my pursuit. But, I’m letting it go as a thing of the past as there is now a nifty device called the uPlusPen from Korea that may become my new lust.

The uPlusPen performs much the same way as a traditional pen and tablet in that it is able to take whatever you write or draw on a surface and save it in real time on your PC. The drool-worthy part is that the transmitting device is no longer the tablet, but rather the pen itself. So, now you can write on any surface you choose, with no clunky tablet to carry around.

However, I am having a hard time finding more information on it in a language I can comprehend, i.e. English. Thus, no word yet on pricing or availability. But judging from the diagrams it appears to connect to your PC or laptop via USB 2.0 and utilizes some sort of optical sensor much like a mouse.

All need special paper to work. the only advantage I see is the immediate transfer of data to the PC, which you don’t get on the other ones. But then again, the other ones don’t have a cable…
