If this rumor doesn't end up being even remotely close to reality I'm going to be totally bummed...

Livescribe Smartpen
This just popped up on the radar on the IxDA List:
Livescribe - Pulse Smartpen
It looks pretty awesome, and almost magical if it lives up to its marketing description...

echominder: a home run from Intuit (and it's free!)
Being an ex-Intuit employee, I always like to keep tabs on stuff that they've been researching.
One of the coolest services that has come out of their research group is Echominder:
Now that I've used echominder a few times, I've found it to be invaluable since it takes out the variables that caused my older methodology to break down:

Here's a[n edited] description from the echominder site of how the service works:
scenarioI had actually been using a similar system before signing up for echominder: I'd call my voice mail at work to remind me to do certain things, but I would have to actually be in the office and then log into my voice mail to get the message.
you've got a flight tomorrow and just remembered you need to pick up your dry cleaning and set your out of office message. you're driving to work and can't stop to write it down, but echominder is in your speed dial:
- as you're driving home, call echominder and instruct it to have your cell phone ring at 4:30pm with a reminder to pick-up the dry cleaning.
- leave another message to call you at 8:00am tomorrow morning to remind you to turn on your out of office message on your computer before you shut down and leave for the airport.
- your phone rings right on time and you get the important things done.
Now that I've used echominder a few times, I've found it to be invaluable since it takes out the variables that caused my older methodology to break down:
- Location: I don't have to be in the office, because echominder calls me wherever I am.
- Timing: echominder calls me at the time I specify; I don't have to get a message and then remember to act on it at a particular time, or enter it into Outlook to remind me.
