But today, I saw something I had to click!

Live Scribe is a pen, an audio recorder and much beyond that. It records everything you write, scribble and draw. Along with audio. You can then play it back from anywhere. You can even search what you wrote and share your recordings / notes with others. It’s amazing!

This is a great tool for students, journalists and anyone who would like to record everything from a meeting. Even great for brainstorming sessions!

The 2GB pen is $199, 1GB is $149. A refill costs $5.95.

Would make a nice gift, isn’t it?

What say?

From letters to emails and IM. From books to blogs and Twitter posts.

I believe transformation is coming in the way we use our telephone. Convergence of devices, portable numbers, voice mail transcription, SMS integration – it’s all coming.

Keep your ears open for: Google Voice, Ribbit and Gizmo.

Buddying entrepreneurs / techies – there are lot of opportunities in this space. Leap forward and grab some!

    ]]>         Entrepreneur Geek: Notification Components in Flex http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EntrepreneurGeek/~3/f2fiX-kMBHk/notification-components-in-flex Wed, 5 Aug 2009 23:48:36 +0100 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EntrepreneurGeek/~3/f2fiX-kMBHk/notification-components-in-flex If you are building a Flex application, you may need a way to show messages to the user. The usual way to do this is via Alerts. Alerts can be quite distracting and generally avoidable. Another alternative is to have a status message area (like a status bar) and show messages there.

    Growl

    But an even more interesting idea would be to show notification windows / popups. If you have seen Growl on the Mac, you know what I am talking about. Heck, even Facebook and most instant messengers show notifications now.

    So how would you implement this using Flex?

    Short answer, don’t implement them yourself. There are two very good and free components available that you can use.

    Flex Notification is easy to implement and works very well.

    FlexGrowl looks and works excellent but needs Degrafa.

    I used Flex Notifications in an upcoming product, but am facing some issues with focus loss when the notification goes away. Don’t want to add the download overhead of degrafa to my app just for notifications yet!
