2008 JavaOne Conference Show Devices
Pulse Smartpen from Livescribe
The Pulse “smartpen”
from Livescribe is a computer within a pen that captures handwriting and
simultaneously records and synchronizes audio to the writing. Users can
simply tap on their notes to replay what was recorded from the exact
moment they were writing, so they never miss a word. The Pulse is
available in two models. A JavaOne conference special edition of the
1-gigabyte Pulse smartpen is available only at the Conference for $139.
The Pulse is also available in a 2-gigabyte model for $199 from www.livescribe.com.
The Pulse smartpen features an ARM 9 processor, a high-speed infrared
camera with a Dot Positioning System, a rechargeable lithium battery, a
high-contrast display, dual embedded microphones, and a 3-D recording
headset. Further, the Smartpen is a platform with rich I/O capabilities
and a Java(TM) integrated development environment that enables a wide
range of applications.
Sony Ericsson K850i
The Sony Ericsson K850i mobile phone introduces new features for
communication life with extraordinary new functionality from Cyber-shot.
The exclusive JavaOne conference price is $299 and includes the

The K850i, which is based on fully MSA-compliant Java(TM) Platform 8
(JP-8) technology, supports a range of new Java platform programming
features and is a key foundation for application integration. The
high-performance multitasking characteristics enable multiple

between them. The feature-richness of the platform enables a vast number
of applications, ranging from games and information to entertainment,
complementing the basic features of the K850i.
