There are multiple things in this space.

* The Lenovo writing pad device - https://www.lenovo.com/nl/nl/yoga-book/

This thing is different from all other devices on the market. You can write on the device itself, or you can put a piece of paper on top of it and write on that which will simultaneously be digital iirc.

* A smart clipboard, I'm sure there are non-kickstarter variations of this out there somewhere as well

* moleskine has a smart pen + smart notebook combo that syncs live with your phone

* Modern pen-only solutions look like this, ie the Neo smartpen m1+

The Moleskine one is surprisingly smooth, but it's not good if you're the sort of person who wants to use different, high quality pens.


So still no smart pens that work on plain paper?
