Mac: PULSE driver arrives on Mac's OSX


Paper Replay transfer in progress


2G and 1G units - Firmware update pending

MacWorld 2009 recently accorded The Best of Show Award to Livescribe’s Pulse SmartPen and I wonder if this honor prompted Livescribe to develop the driver for Mac’s OSX, which was in Beta since December 2008.


Version 1.0 was finally released early March 2009 and it has been welcome news for Mac users of this intuitive instrument. The 30 minute download revealed the same powerful word search in the Windows version, that recognize words in bad hand-writing but whether the Mac version of Vision Objects’ MyScript, that converts fowl-scratches to digital text, will be made available is left to be seen.


In any case, Jim Marggraff of Livescribe and his team must be heralded for releasing the full driver for the benefit of Mac users, a tiny volume of PC users, just over a year after the launch of the Java based pen for the Windows platform.


Cheers, Tommy
