The Pulse Digital Pen--Take Notes, Record on Special Paper

Yesterday at Target I came across the Pulse pen by LiveScribe. Had heard something like this was coming and now it is here. The user takes notes on special paper and the pen records the audio as the user writes (I'm not sure if the audio has to be turned on in some way...). The user can listen to the audio at a later time by tapping on the specific text related to the audio segment.

The pen also syncs with a desktop. I've attached the video here.

The particular item brings to mind the articles these past few years about complaints that students were using computers to surf rather than pay attention in class?
