Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), seems to have solved a very old pen problem, and filed a patent. It was published today by the USPTO, and as it seems the term "communication stylus" is undoubtedly the best application of the concept that exists to date.
The project is currently only on paper, but the technology to build the device is already available.
Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has considered all the available solutions and concluded that "the problem with all different types of pens is that everything requires the user to write on a specialized surface", adding that ΄ "there is a need for a pen that can enter data on a computing device, regardless of the surface on which it is used.
