Why can't Livescribe do gel ink?
Although the livescribe pen is a technological marvel, the quality of the ink is terrible. It is reminiscent of the free ballpoint pens you collect by the dozen at trade shows. Even the free pens at the bank have better quality ink than this. Now that we live in the 21st century, and have an amazing assortment of ink technologies, why is it that the most technologically advanced pen uses 1950s-era ink? After writing a page, I look back and it seems that I have been etching with a stylus for half the page. Please make some gel-based, or even dye-based ink cartridges rather than the garbage currently used.
