Or that Clinton might accept an offer from a man whose national-security credentials, she once said, began and ended with "a speech he made in 2002"? Nowhere did Obama and Clinton attack each other more brutally last spring than...
...your text (for example, "Take the A train to Brooklyn"), the pen will play whatever audio was recorded at the time, such as the cabbie's warning that the A train's running on the F line this weekend - and the sound quality is surprisingly clear. The Smartpen is the perfect tool for taking notes during a class, meeting or interview; it can also save images of the notebook pages you've written on, and all files can be uploaded to a computer via USB, then saved or emailed. On Nov. 24, the company will roll out Livescribe Desktop software...
