Jotting down notes doesn't have to be a low-tech pursuit any more, thanks to the Bamboo Spark from Wacom, which allows users to doodle on paper and transfer the artwork to their phone or tablet without fuss.
The device - which comes in three sizes, depending upon the gadget you use - lets users draw directly with a special ballpoint pen on paper held in the Spark's binder. Once done (and assuming everything is synced), the doodler just has to push a button and the image will appear as a file on the phone or tablet, thanks to a Bluetooth connection.
The images can be shared via a variety of cloud services and can be manipulated with art programmes, including the Bamboo Paper app.
