Review: LiveScribe Echo Digital Pen « Rigorous Trivialities. If you are looking to digitize what you write without a scanner you might consider personal digital pens. LiveScribe seems to be the best in the field for this. For $99 you can get a pen that will transcribe what you write on special paper into words on your screen.

If you are in the publishing industry, I could see how this could save time. I am concerned about the costs in paper/consumables but if you do the math you might find out it is cheaper.

If you want to download a file and store in on your iPad then you need to have an app on the iPad that supports that file type e.g. iBooks or GoodReader for PDFs – you should then be able to do ‘open in’ and ‘transfer’ the document from Safari into that app (you can’t do this with all file types). Safari doesn’t let you save a webpage, but other browsers do e.g. Atomic Web

As far as I Know, you can’t download a file in Safari. There are browsers that will allow you to do that. I use iCab. It has a ton of features and while I seldom have the need or desire to download a file from the web on my iPad, I’m pretty sure iCab will do that. Check it out in the app store.
