We received advice from Livescribe today that the planned release of the MAC version of Livescribe Desktop has been delayed until at least early March.
The following note was published on the Livescribe forum:
A note to our Mac users: Our original plan of releasing Livescribe Desktop for Mac 1.0 on Feb. 17 will be delayed due to some minor software tweaks we discovered last week.
We always want you to have a quality experience when using your Pulse smartpen and Livescribe Desktop, so we felt a few extra weeks to get it right will be worth the wait. As soon as we have a precise date (which we expect to be no later than early March), we will let you know, here and on our blog.
We’ll see what additional information we can find out and post here ASAP.
cheers

Disappointing, however it’s better that it is released without bugs and crashes… A few days or weeks isn’t long to wait.
One question (if anyone reading this knows): Does the pen *need* to be synced to a computer before use? If not, I plan to just keep loading it up with recordings before syncing it when the software comes out. I don’t see myself going through ’200 hours of recording time’ very quickly!
Alex,
We’re about to put a post up with exciting news re the Mac release.
