I bought one of Iogear's pens and got it to work exactly once so far. The digital pen is virtually never recognized. My computer tells me that the hardware was detected successfully, and the manual tells me that once I start writing, a note will pop up - except that it does not, and the uselss manual and useless iogear website do not say a single word about what the problem could be and how to remedy it. And don't tell me it's the batteries; they are brand new. And don't tell me there is something in between the pen and the device, because there isn't. - Again, it's a great tool when it works, but you can't rely on it working.
