The Magic Pencil !!!

Whilst going over the reviews of the magic pencil, there was a pretty even divide of yes's and no's. Among the no's there were reasons such as, too pricey, cheating, and not actually learning. The only answer that took me back was 'too pricey' for a MAGIC PENCIL, the price seemed fair. The closest thing in existence now is a pen that knows what you write and has applications such as translator, where you can write the word in English and it will tell you the Spanish translation, and other useful tools. That product sells for well over 100 dollars, and the cards that do things such as math, translating and other things are around 20 dollars each. Since the Magic Pencil could do all of this, the price answer surprised me.
As far as the yes's, more free time, the way the product was shown, and visual of people having fun were among the answers. The way the product was shown surprised me, seeing as there wasn't a great deal of spice behind the 'commercial', it was fairly straight forward...
