LongPen: What do you make of this?

[danny2010]

its a bitter sweet to me
i like it because you can talk to the celeb/author
but the autograph isnt worth anything to me really
maybe a little
but not as much as an authentic

watch this being brought up when
celebrities sign fanmail when out of the country
some are going to say "maybe it whas done with longpen"
insted of believing in secretarials

Longpens are for books and only books.

However unlike autopens, The Longpen creates a legal signature.

And the AP creates a legal signature. I believe that this discussion has already gone on between us.

[damien666]

why can't they be used for something else?

[MW1221]

The company is selling them to publishers, authors, and bookstores, not fanmail services.

[damien666]

so your saying you must be "approved" by the company to
purchase this from them?

[MW1221]

What I'm saying is the Longpen was made for books, it's being sold for books, and the only ones buying them are buying them for books.

This was taken from their website...
"Currently our focus is on building a LongPenâ„¢ Network in the publishing and bookselling industry. But the system has applications for other celebrity-based industries-music, film, TV, sports-and we will be establishing Networks in those markets too."


Unfortunately this could and probably will expand beyond books.

Can you see going to sci fi convention or any autograph convention for that matter and having a bunch of robot arms signing????

[damien666]

thats my point it will go beyond books
if it NEVER does MW1221 i will pay you a coke
(offer valid till 2050)

[damien666]

whosurdaddy i could see this happening
if the celebrity can't make it to a con
they could use the long pen
