What happened to the original Echo, and to the SKY smartpen? The 2gb model can typically store 170 hours of audio before archiving becomes necessary, whereas the 8gb model can store up to 760 hours of audio. The 8gb model is recommended if you need more storage, and will appreciate the convenience of not having to archive older notebooks nearly as frequently. The Echo 2gb is adequate for most circumstances. The two smartpens function identically the 8gb does obviously have four times more memory than the 2gb. What are the differences between the 2gb Echo and the 8gb Echo? This minor difference is the only difference (other than paint-color) between the Symphony and the several models of the Aegir family. The Aegir does not detect is pen-cap, and shuts itself down following 30 minutes of inactivity. The Symphony is automatically shut off when its cap is put in place. Where is the data stored? On your mobile device (Android or iOS). That computer can be Windows or Mac (English or French). Your handwritten notes and audio can then be viewed, organized, searched and shared in a number of ways, including Evernote, Facebook, GoogleDocs, PDF and more! For an Echo smartpen, you need not have direct access to the internet, but you do need a computer to run Echo Desktop. The data you create is stored on the hard disk of your computer (Windows or Mac, English or French).
