Which digital pens allow drawing directly into OneNote? All?

[Tim]

I'm looking for a digital Pen that will work with OneNote. I want to be able
to draw directly in the program, not export to it. I believe Pegasus One
NoteTaker does this, but I'd prefer a higher-quality pen. Do they all allow
direct input into OneNote, or only via importing or copy/paste? I want to be
able to see my drawing created in OneNote as I draw. Thanks!

Any digitizer pen (Wacom, etc) will work with OneNote, allowing basic input
which mimics what you'd get from the mouse.

OneNote does not have its own handwriting recognition engine, but gets
hatcapability when it is run on a Tablet PC. Therefore, using an external
digitizer will mimic the pen experience ofa Tablet PC, but whatever you
write will be treated as a picture, and you will *not* be able to convert
your "writing" to text nor will you be able to search its contents.

If you're OK with having all of your "handwriting" be unsearchable
pictures, then this solution works well.
