E FUN Introduces Smartphone-Compatible APEN A3 Digital Pen for Back to School

WEST COVINA, CA, September 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) E FUN, a consumer electronics marketer of fun, lifestyle products, introduced the perfect back-to-school accessory for smartphones—the APEN A3 Digital Pen. The APEN allows users to write freely on any paper or notebook and have their notes simultaneously sent to their Android smartphone or Blackberry via Bluetooth. Handwritten notes and images may then be saved for future use or immediately sent and shared with friends, family, coworkers and more.

Feature-packed, portable and easy to use, the A3 Digital Pen makes taking notes, sharing ideas and completing assignments a breeze. It is a great solution for students and professionals looking for note taking, mobility, and quick sharing capabilities.

"Today's students and professionals have to process a tremendous amount of information quickly and efficiently," stated Jason Liszewski, managing director for E FUN. "Being able to scribble notes on the fly then instantly digitize and share them on their smartphones saves time, and lets people express their ideas freely. The A3 helps users collaborate more effectively wherever they are, with or without their computers, and not worry about losing valuable notes or drawings."

The APEN A3 digital pen's key features are:
• Smartphone-compatible with Android and Blackberry OS 4.6 and up
• Digitizes and records handwriting while the unit is not connected to a computer
• Works on regular paper
• Records up to 100 pages in the receivers' memory
• Photo sketcher for annotating written words or drawings on computer images
• Share photos on Facebook, Flickr and other social media sites
• Email photos and documents to smartphones, Macs, or PCs

The APEN is simple and user-friendly, enabling any user to use it as they would a traditional pen. Bluetooth connectivity with Blackberry and Android smartphones allows a simple transfer of data without wires or cables. Users can take notes, draw, annotate on photos and documents, then save the data on their smartphone and share via email or upload to social networking sites.

When connected to a computer, APEN allows users to perform real-time computer annotation within applications and on digital photos. The APEN A3 Digital Pen supports Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Vista, Microsoft 7 and Mac 10.5 above.
