Idea for a product - SyncWrite

Imagine a utility to bring traditional writing to a new age, the SyncWrite. An e-paper tablet that automatically syncs (over wifi/3g) whatever you write, intelligently.

Using the supplied pen, write a date and event and it syncs with your calendar. Want to quickly jot down a note for later? Write it down and see it in your email. Need a reminder? It's sent straight from SyncWrite to your to do list of choice. Are you a journalist? Begin transcription and have it sync to the cloud accessible anywhere, no cable required.

Want to keep a journal/diary secret? Choose not to have SyncWrite store data locally.

Sometimes writing is more practical than typing, and for those situations there's SyncWrite.

As you can see, I have no product to sell, it's just an idea. Any suggestions or criticisms welcome, however I feel that it is marketable.




Thanks! I know that it's been done before but from what I have seen (haven't gone through all of the links) it typically requires special paper.

I'm proposing more of an e-ink system.
