D:Scribe pen does email and SMS

Designer Reuben Png brings us the D:Scribe, a digital fountain pen that can email and SMS anything that you write on paper. All that’s required is a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.

The D:Scribe is just a concept, but it has a lot of potential (assuming, that is, that we have the technology to make one of these). It can record anything you scribble on paper, including drawings, and send them or save them for viewing later. Once a message is sent, the D:Scribe displays its status on the built-in OLED screen.

The design is loosely based on a quill and inkwell - the quill is the pen and the inkwell is an electromagnetic induction charger to juice up the pen when needed.

D:Scribe looks and sounds great, but unfortunately it’s not real. At least, for now.
