A high-tech solution to the note pad has been a long time coming. The biggest issue is that most people don't write well with a finger-sized keyboard, nor do they doodle with their fingers. And if you have kids and want them to practice writing, it's a pain to clean up the scraps of paper (as well as environmentally uncool).
The Boogie Board from Improv Electronics is not for the beach. Instead, it's essentially a digital chalkboard. You can write on the 9.5 inch LCD screen with a stylus or anything that crates pressure (though for obvious reasons a real, sharp-tipped pencil would be a bad idea). The doodles or notes can be saved and exported to a PDF -- and from there to a computer via a standard micro USB cable. It sells for $130.
