The compact, pressure-sensitive Portable MP100 Writing Pad ($459) lets you capture handwritten data and transfer it to a PC via an RS-232 connector. The device offers 1024- by 1024-pixel resolution, weighs less than 2 pounds, and can be used with paper and a ballpoint pen or with a nonelectronic stylus. Rechargeable batteries are rated for 10 hours; the device remains in operation when the AC adapter/charger is in use.
