Idk but there is a really cool pen that stores your notes as you write them.
They record correlated audio as well. It was incredible for class notes.
You just unlocked deeply buried memories of that Leapfrog Pentop Computer thing from the mid 2000s. I can't remember if I actually owned one or just got to use one, but I remember being captivated by it. Apparently the guy who developed it went on to found Lightscribe (which produces the pen you're probably talking about).
The boss calls. Soon he says "I can't hear you."
"Yeah, I know. I'm using my PenPhone."
"What? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"I know. I'm using my PenPhone to make very important business documents."
"WHAT?"
"I shall send you this convo as an attachment and call you back once I have completed my very important documents." Click. Notes mode: "I must improve my skills. Snoopy still does not look right."
None. But id buy it just for fun and so i can fill up some landfill space which we apparently have unlimited of so

When I was a kid, these were advertised specifically for cheating in school
I don’t know but I love it

Easy! Its cool and makes me feel like a secret agent with a secret pen phone for my secret agent conversations
This is the sort of thing that, before 2010 or so, would only have been purchasable by tipsy people browsing a physical copy of Sharper Image on a long airplane flight. It has now escaped containment, apparently.
