For iOS7 and need to use "Livescribe Dot Paper" which is fairly reasonable.
No Android support as of yet: https://support.livescribe.com/entries/28184900-Update-on-Android-compatibility-for-Livescribe-3-

I own one of the previous models and one of the things the software said was that it was only licensed for use outside Japan. I am assuming they have finally sorted that all out, otherwise you would be using this with none of the software.

Take a look at the Samsung Note (phone + tablet) line-up with the Wacom technology built in (models will come with a stylus). ==> Still some people like paper better for taking notes.
