Canson Paper Show
$200

- All software is included on the USB key plus about 245MB of free space to save your presentations and whiteboard markups.

- Instructions are less than clear. However, after a little research, the package works well.

- Initial startup can take a while. The Papershow video shows this process as near instant; budget a minute or more for initial startup and pairing.

- Mac and PC compatible.

- Uses microfine dots on Papershow paper to track the movements of the IR camera sporting Bluetooth pen.

- Attention to detail in the packaging is apparent; includes five colored rings for both the USB receiver and the pen so you know which pen is paired with which receiver.

- Also includes a hard case for the receiver and pen plus three ink refills.

- Includes 30 sheets of Papershow printer paper.

- Without better documentation, this isn't for the feint of heart (or without access to the IT department to help out). Once you get it up and running though, it's very easy to use.
