The io2 is a real pen, a bit thick (like a highlighter), with a real ballpoint cartridge installed. There’s a small camera in the tip of the pen that tracks your movements when you write, and saves them to the pen’s internal memory. In order to make this work, however, you must use specially-designed “smart paper,” which has tiny dots that help in recording your writing. This somewhat limits the versatility of the pen, but the paper is not difficult to use.
I started by first installing the software; installation was relatively simple, but I was surprised at the number of requests I received from my firewall to let the io2 software access the internet. I then had the option of going through a 30-minute “training exercise,” designed to teach the pen the specifics of my handwriting.
