A smartphone will probably never substitute pen and paper! In fact most of my notes are taken on a notepad with a an attached pen. In fact, I have just found a pen with an internal mechanism which turns it long enough when I write and short enough to do not pierce my trousers. If you do such a miracle I would be glad to try (not in a beta phase!). But I feel the efforts will be hardly rewarded. The write process is good for the mind and is prone of errors. When we transcript the text to an editor (in fact to THE editor) we correct some mistakes. Anyway, keep in touch!
