[Athen] Live Scribe smart pen issues

[Hackett, Connie]

*The Livescribe3 pen uses a ballpoint pen which is much better than the
echo. It uses Bluetooth Smart to send everything you write to the
smartphone or tablet. The smartphone or tablet is used to record the audio
portion of the lecture. The notes both written and audio are saved on the
smartphone or tablet.*
