A vew Apple patent describes a pen that acts as a portable wireless computer.
Granted to Apple today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office the "portable computers" patent speaks of a pen computer with a built-in screen that can display e-mails, text message, and voice data.
Equipped with cellular and/or GPS technology to allow wireless communication, also would act as an advanced digital pen, including accelerometers to recognize handwriting and facilitate both speech-to-text and text-to-speech conversion, microphone and speaker, a touchscreen and a rechargeable battery.
Initially filed in 1998, the patent was first granted in September 2011. But it was again examined and approved by the USPTO after Apple added the descriptions about the wireless and cellular features.
