In Burgundy I once saw a journalist with a computer -- on a tray -- supported by a cord around his neck.

At a Champagne event in New York, I saw a man with a miniature Sony computer typing away.

And of course, Blackberry and Apple are adding Tasting Note Applications as I write.

You will never be lost with the new Smart Pen, which is a "pen" like object that is able to write on a special pad, and then you hook it up to your computer.

I am very excited because I like to save notes, and this saves the steps of retyping into a computer or scanning it to a .pdf file.

Even better, the pen records audio! Now some of you Mac users might be thinking, I can type and record and even video with my Mac.

And that's true -- yet sometimes I really really do not want to carry around my Mac.

If you click the Amazon link you can get a more technical sense of how it works.

Let me know your thoughts! Mac or the Smart Pen!
