Lund, MAY 30, 2007 – Anoto Group, who introduced digital pen and paper, announces its role in today’s unveiling of a new chapter in mobile computing. Anoto’s partner, Livescribe, is launching a new paper-based mobile computing platform that incorporates the use of Anoto’s Digital Pen and Paper Technology.

“We are pleased to provide Livescribe, founded by Anoto Inc’s former chief executive Jim Marggraff, our Digital Pen and Paper technology that enables users a way to bridge the gap between the paper and digital worlds,” says Anoto Group Chief Executive Anders Norling. “We wish them as much success in their target markets such as personal productivity, learning, communications as our other US partners have seen in healthcare, clinical trials, medical, and government.

Anoto Group invented the technology that comprise the digital pen and paper for its use with some 200 partners world-wide for the purposes of partners being able to develop new applications across all industries –including all horizontal and vertical markets.

The possibilities for Livescribe’s paper-based applications are endless. Its platform includes a smartpen based on Anoto’s Digital Pen and Paper technology. The Anoto paper that Livescribe will be using involves a special dot paper and software application. The Anoto pen is a small computer with audio/visual feedback and substantial memory for handwriting capture. Using the Dot Positioning System paper (DPS), invented by Anoto Group, smartpen is able to transmit handwritten text from paper to digital media.

Livescribe as well as all of Anoto Group partners are invited to participate in Anoto’s upcoming Partner Conference that this year will occur June 4-6 in Malmoe, Sweden in order to discuss and share ideas on the numbers new applications developed last year for mobile users in Europe, Japan and the US.
