Livescribe Pulse 2Gb Smartpen
For those of you that are avid readers of this column it should have become obvious that whilst I am a committed computer geek – I also have a love of fine pens, paper and writing instruments. In this months column I have managed to combine both – and find a tool that is invaluable to doctors, especially when studying or at a conference. The device in question is the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen.
Home Media Solutions
The latest Samsung LCD and LED TV’s offer stunning Full HD picture quality – some also come with a bonus in the form of built in wired and network media centre supporting a wide range of file types.
Graf Von Faber Castell Perfect Pencil
I have spent the last few months being completely overwhelmed by technology having installed in our office a new central server, phone system and video conferencing suite, plus having switched telecom providers .
At the moment the last thing I want to see is another wretched computer! I thought it would be nice to have a tech break and return to the simplicity of pencil and paper – and I must confess I’m quite enjoying it. This is, of course, a gadget column though and if you are going to use a pencil – you may as well get a good one and have some style and panache!

The BeBook eReader
A new generation of eBook readers use a technology called eInk and ePaper which use power only when turning the page and have a contrast ratio similar to regular ink on paper. A typical device is similar in size to a paperback book and can carry hundreds or thousands of books, including PDF versions of medical texts available from eBooks.com.
