we take a deep look at the Wacom Bamboo Spark with gadget pocket as a note taking device.

If you must have pen and paper for taking notes, but really want an easy way to digitize them then the Wacom Bamboo Spark is a terrific solution. The packaging is simple. Please keep in mind that there is extra ink and the micro USB cable in the box under the Bamboo Spark with the help guide. I almost missed the tiny bag under the papers.

Setup of the Wacom Bamboo Spark was pretty easy once you realized the middle button was the sync and not the power. We fully charged it up before usage. Once you find the small power slider on the bottom the light will indicate green in the middle of the device (when it is open) to let you know it is ready. The accompanying application, that we treated on iOS, walked you through the easy account creation for cloud sync, bluetooth sync and then giving your Spark a name. The longest part of all that was just the account creation.

We took notes on the Bamboo Spark, as shown in the video, and were able to send it to the app with a single button push. You could then:
-mark up the image more
-merge multiple together
-split into multiple

We wish you could create better libraries and collections in the Wacom Bamboo Spark application. That would be a huge bonus when attending multiple meetings on the same topic over time and not wanting to make them a single page. Being able to export and share the saved images worked well.

We reviewed the gadget pocket model of the Wacom Bamboo Spark which we would never actually keep our phone in, as the sample images they provide show. But it is nice for some small papers and cards. Otherwise the pen holder slot and the lock string on the outside worked fine.

Overall we like the Wacom Bamboo Spark and the cloud sync capability. As well as the sharing aspects. Some more app updates can make this a replacement for some other apps that we use. Definitely great for students and those that love paper and pen note taking still.
