I'm grateful that my family is so thoughtful and generous.</p>
<p>So, what gadgetry was under the tree for me this year?&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is the one that works with the iPhone and allows for incoming calls. Previous models did not. I set it up so that I wake to an episode of <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://biggsuccess.com/" target="_blank">The Bigg Success Show</a> each morning.</p>

<p>The day that my Mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas was the day that LiveScribe released the beta of the Mac desktop software for their Pulse Smartpen, so I added it to the list. (My Mom picks one or two things off my lengthy gadget list each year, as her budget allows...)</p>
<p>I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. If you haven't seen it in action, be sure to check out these videos:</p>
