It's a waste
In my opinion, something like this is geared toward people who say "ooooh it has lots of lights, it must be the best one". It's a waste.

Wrong Age Group
Its a great idea, but its geared to the age group where they already want to start using a real computer...not some super duper pen mechanism.

SWEET
Maybe not for 100 bucks, but if I ever see one these thigns on sale I would like to have one to see how accurate it is at reading what you write back.

I think it would be somthing fun to use in cojuction with messing around in a home studio. Not sure how long it could keep a kid entertained though.
