Inkling by Wacom. A Livescribe killer?

I love a good Wacom tablet so this digital sketch pen looks pretty darned nifty. If I could only sketch anything other than simple happy faces… I wonder how this new Inkling pen will compare to a Livescribe pen. I’ve long thought about getting a Livescribe, but I don’t actually write that much anymore because it gives me handcramps. I much prefer to type and, as stated earlier, I can’t draw to save my life. The one benefit to this pen is that you aren’t locked into the Livescribe paper for the rest of your life.

Would love to hear artistic folks thoughts on this gadget. At $199 do you think it might be worth it?
