Files can be picked up by a pen and dropped somewhere else
Researchers at the Sony Interaction Laboratory are working on a digital pen which is supposed to mkae it easy to pick and drop files between devices in the same room. The pen itself doesn’t have any storage capacity, it’s more like a slight of hand that uses unique readable ID numbers on each of the pens to transfer files between networked computers and PDAs that are connected to special “pen manager” servers. Or you could just drop things into a shared folder like normal people, since it’s really the networking together in the first place that is so hard, not transferring files.
