If it worked on pad-per-hole or perf-board that would be pretty great!

exactly what i was thinking

Totally--it would be perfect for PPH or Perf since you already have the holes and won't need a ton of "ink" to make the connections.

I wonder how close this thing is to going on the market?

There's these for quick PCB repairs. But they lack the 'draw on paper' functionality of the pen above.

There are endless possibilities

I need one now.

[aziltz]

i have something like that.  It works for repairs but you can't solder to it unless you bake it first.
