You'll never lose another brilliant idea again. The Mobile Notetaker clips to a pad of paper and digitally records every swoop and curve of your pen, storing handwritten notes, sketches and, if you happen to be searching for a Grand Unified Theory, even equations. Sure, many of us now type these sorts of things into a Blackberry, or hammer out an email detailing our big idea, but there are still note-takers in the world. If you're at a conference or in a cafe, the device itself stores your scribbles, but if you're in the office, it can sync to your PC through a USB cable. A nice gift for a beloved Luddite, it's available at ThinkGeek.—Gregory Mone
