As a law student aiming to make the most of the Pulse in class – there needs to be a much better way to sort pages without dissociating the audio. Exporting to PDF is alright, but the dissociation of the audio mitigates one of the best features of the Pulse. I can understand why it would be intrinsically difficult to create a system whereby pages uploaded into the livescribe desktop can be sorted into different folders and sub-folders. However, it doesn’t seem as though there is any intrinsic reason that archived notebooks shouldn’t be sortable in folders and sub-folders, while maintaining the link between audio record and notes written. I think they might have a killer product if it were easier to sort and organize pages of notes, with associated audio, a la OneNote.

Add security, encryption, wireless bluetooth support for data transfer. Higher end models for professionals like doctors who are willing to spend more for more expensive features like slim designs and longer battery life.

Robert,
Great suggestions. I have to admit I prefer the in-ear headsets as well.

Re your earlier comment, Livescribe is working hard on the Desktop application. They realise it needs some serious loving and plan to address your comments and others very soon. Have you looked at MyScript for Livescribe? it’s a good option if you want to export your content to Word or PDF (PC only though).

Just thinking about it some more – I’d really like some good quality “in-ear” earphones as well.

I’d like to see an updated model with longer battery life and say, 8GB of memory for more data storage.

Other than that, there are many, many features that the desktop software requires – including some decent sorting and organisation features and the ability to export files to PDF, for example.
