This whole episode seems totally unfortunate for me. After posting about the digital pen yesterday, I went off to the Livescribe website to find out details about ordering the Livescribe Pulse Pen. According to their blog, the product is supposed to already be available since last week. But to my surprise, it is still only open for “pre-order” and even worse, they won’t ship internationally. That just quelled my high hopes for finding a replacement for my good old Logitech io2 pen for my next busy period in August. Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait until some kind soul decides to pick one up for me from the states…or–if I’m hopelessly optimistic–wait for Livescribe to decide to market internationally.
If any of you know how to get products that ship only in the USA to be shipped internationally, then please tell me! I’m in desperate need of high-tech toys that aren’t available elsewhere =)
You can still buy your Pulse Pen from Livescribe! No worries.
Just set up a US address with a company like Bongo International.
Then you can ship goods from any US website to your new domestic address.. once Bongo has your item(s) onsite they repackage to send it out to you the same day. You can save a lot of money shipping too if you consolidate a few orders into one.
Good luck! Those smartpens are awesome.
Take Care
