Does the handwriting recognition of this device actually work? The last time I looked at a device like this notes were saved as bitmap images and you had to be sure that the current page in the memory always matches the current paper page, i.e. you had to number the pages. Somebody supposed to use loose pages & a fast scanner instead.
As a tablet input device: Is it sensitive to pen pressure?
With respect to viewing html pages: I suppose the result will be one HTML/text file per page on paper. Why would you want a special software for this?

A good few points, let me see if I can answer with my limited knowledge.
As you point out, the device stores separate pages in memory - probably as a bitmap but I could not find that out from the site itself. The idea is to then transfer across to Ritemail on you PC and that would do the handwriting translation to txt/html/yada, yada, yada. Alternatively, you can apparently send handwritten notes via html over email (via PC link or more practically via the Pocket PC/ Palm versions of this software). You do have to prompt it when you change pages to tell the device you're 'on the next page'.
From the promotional blurb, the pad can be used as a tablet for your PC and can be used to annotate PowerPoint presentation etcetera.
The positives of creating both a handwritten note on paper and a digital note on the Digipad is that your notes can be converted to text from the digital image and you can refer back to the 'scratchings' on paper to help with the translation. I have a sneaking suspicion that trying to OCR a handwritten page on a scanner could be a real pain!! Additionally, the ability to store ones notes in one place (i.e.digitally) is a real bonus for ease of review AND searching.
Finally, if you ever get to see my handwriting, you'll appreciate why I'd like a programme to clean it up!!
