I am intrigued by this.
How much can you fit on a label then or would you record a lecture using
something else with the pen?
We've just tried to order and have indeed been informed that they are out of
stock.
Is the microphone a little clip-on one and can it be used with other things?
Mandy.

Hi,
As a starting point, we are launching the product as a simple audio
labelling product. There are lots of non-techy customers who could benefit
from PenFriend. Frankly we'll scare them off if we even mention the word
computer!
BUT, for computer users, yes you can delete recordings for labels you no
longer have. As I've said before, if you re-record a label, the old
recording will automatically be deleted. We are selling a directional
microphone as an add-on for £9.99, which will enable you to record lectures
etc and you can transfer content from and to via USB.
Thanks
Alison

Hi.
Just a quick couple of questions niggling at my logic circuits *smile*. The
labels that come with the device, I suppose that once they're all used, can
they be replaced? I know of the additional packs that you can buy, but what
about all the recordings you've made for those labels you no longer have?
Also, with the microphone, can this be turned in to a digital voice recorder
for meetings and lectures? Can the USB connection to the PC be used to
transfer content from as well as to the device?
All the best, Ibrahim.
