The EPOS flash drive also works as the receiver which picks up the ultrasonic positioning signals from the pen’s transmitter.

So let’s take a look at the EPOS hardware and software to see what advantages or limitations exist with their technology. Each system has its own pros and cons and from what I’ve found it’s up to the individual user to determine what best fits their needs. But instead of a deafening ping that can travel hundreds of miles underwater, the acoustical signals used by the EPOS digital pen are undetectable by human ears.īut at this point there are no clear winners when it comes to who has the better technology.
Basically it’s just like the sonar that Captain Marko Ramius used to confirm to Jack Ryan that he was trying to defect in The Hunt For Red October. EPOS is part of the latter group and their digital pen actually relies on the company’s own ultrasonic positioning technology. One side relies on special dot-pattern paper with a camera embedded in the pen to track the motion of the user’s writing, while the other side uses various wireless positioning technologies. In addition to Leapfrog and EPOS, there are a handful of other companies that have decided to enter the digital pen market and so far two distinct groups have formed, each using fundamentally different technologies.

You can check out my full review of the EPOS Digital Pen & USB Flash Drive, complete with plenty of photos, after the jump.
Over the past year the EPOS Digital Pen has popped up on OhGizmo! from time to time in various prototype forms, but now that the pen is finally hitting the market I had an opportunity to see what it was capable of and how it compares to the FLY Fusion. But based on the feedback I got from my review of the FLY Fusion Pentop Computer there’s definitely a large group of consumers looking for a way to bridge the gap between writing with a keyboard and writing with a pen or pencil. When I first read about this whole ‘digital pen’ trend a year or so ago, I really wasn’t sure if there was a market for the devices as most people now rely on computers, cellphones and PDAs when it comes to communicating or jotting down notes.
