Looking for the Livescribe SDK, and/or ways to hack the Pulse Smartpen

Question

I'm looking for an old copy of the Livescribe SDK. Livescribe have discontinued their developer program, and I've searched far and wide for it, only finding others asking for the same: http://www.kellbot.com/2011/06/livescribe-developer-community-huge-f-you/

I'm envisioning new ways the smartpen could be extended with extra functionality (bluetooth / wifi) for extra scenarios (it could do your expenses automatically, or work with musical staff / stave paper).

I'm trying to get as close to working prototypes as possible, and interested in anyone who is developing with Anoto dot paper, or any other smartpen manufacturer.

I haven't found an SDK for Livescribe, but you might want to take a look at this link: livescribe.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1/kw/sdk

Livescribe has developed an SDK for Apple iOS 7 (or later) that enables the Livescribe 3 smartpen to connect directly to a tablet or smartphone using Bluetooth® LE (Low Energy) 4.0+. With the Livescribe 3 SDK, specific partner developers will be able to quickly and easily add support for the Livescribe 3 smartpen and enhance their note-taking, drawing, annotation, and collaboration applications. For an example of the SDK working in a developer app, please see their blog post on Outline/Outline+ . If you would like to get involved with the Livescribe SDK, please email [email protected].
