D:Scribe interview on Cnet...

Here's my awkward interview with Cnet... I was so nervous cos I had 2 cameras pointing at me and I didn't know which one was on!

Quite a long interview!

D:Scribe Publicity

The D:Scribe digital fountain pen has been getting lots of media coverage lately.

Yanko design was the first to highlight the pen (no pun intended) and has since been mirrored on many websites.

Magazines (all upcoming):

Stuff magazine France
Next magazine Hong Kong
GDR Global Intelligence - Global Innovation Report
Coolbuzz.org

A press release and high/low resolution images can be obtained by emailing me: kangareu [at] hotmail.com

Now, the next step is to go to production. Hopefully talks with a company this week will materialise into something good!

Oh, and on another note, I came across a Russian site with my product on it, and the translation was fine, the only problem is that this is what it said:

Designer from Korea Ruben Peng created the concept pens D: Scribe designed specifically for writing e-mail - e-mail and sms.

The user can simply write messages directly on paper. The device has not only all the usual features pens, but also recognizes written and even can scan images.

Manufactured letter can be sent to another device on Bluetooth. It's enough to write a user ID and outline his circle. After receiving a letter on the computer or cell phone, it can be passed on by e-mail or sms.

Will started production of D: Scribe, as well as what would be the technical specifications of the device and the indicative price is not known yet.

Do I look Korean? Maybe I do? Where do people get their facts from? And the pen can now scan images? Wow.

Man it's been busy, and what a big year 2007 was.

I haven't had the time to post pictures here yet, but hopefully I'll have some time soon.

For those looking for details about the D:Scribe digital pen that I designed, first of all, it's not in production (yet). Anyone interested in producing it?

My email address is kangareu at hotmail.com for any queries. I've been getting quite a few emails so hopefully I'll be able to answer them.

There are quite a few pictures of the pen going around the internet if you google my name, but here's a look at a model I made:

The pen is currently a finalist for the 2008 Australian International Design Awards - student category. Watch this space!
