Back when Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone, he went on and on about how Apple decided to use the most natural stylus, your finger, for navigating the newly designed touchscreen. The advantages were obvious: You already know how to use your finger (no, not THAT finger), you can’t misplace it and it’s always there, [...]

The iPad is known to be primarily a finger driven device, but it seems to be creating a revival of the stylus. Why? People who enjoy drawing and sketching want a tool to make it easier. We’ve been reviewing several styli since the iPad’s release and today I have another. It’s the oStylus Capacitive Touch [...]

Although the touch screen was not a new technology when the first iPhone was released, this device did usher in a new age in touch screen interactivity. Before the iPhone, most smartphone and PDA users employed a stylus as the preferred method of input. The iPhone changed that with the capacitive touch screen and true [...]

The best thing about the iPhone and iPad is that they are finger friendly. No stylus needed. Sometimes a stylus does come in handy though and regular ones will not work with these devices due to their capacitive displays. I’ve reviewed other capacitive styli in the past, but today I want to tell you about [...]
The iPhone is 99.9% touch screen driven. That fact is both good and bad. Good because Apple has done an incredible job making the user interface so friendly and easy to use. Bad for me, because I wear gloves during the winter and the touch screen no worky with gloved phalanges. That means no texting [...]
A couple days ago I received an email from someone asking for advice on multi-point pens. I posted that question here on The Gadgeteer so that other people could weigh in with their suggestions. Harold M. Goldner saw that post and did one better. He wrote a comparison review and asked me to post it [...]

A lot of times, I can respond with info to help them, but sometimes, people ask me questions for which I don’t have a good answer. That’s [...]

It appears to be longer than their stylus and is being marketed for use for both the iPhone and multi-touch Macbooks. You can use the Sketch to…ummm… sketch things on the Macbook trackpad. [...]
The iPhone is the first touch screen device that I’ve felt comfortable using my finger to navigate with. After all, on the iPhone, that’s all you can use to control the device – right? Wrong, you can use a stylus. But not an ordinary stylus, it has to be one designed specially for the iPhone, like the Pogo Stylus from Ten One Design.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I don’t carry a purse. I do carry a gear bag to work every day, but when I go out for lunch or go shopping, I don’t take it along with me. In the winter time, this isn’t a problem because I tend to load my [...]
Product Requirements: Device: palmOne Treo 650 Smartphone The palmOne Treo 650 smartphone comes equipped with a better than average stylus. It isn’t fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but it does have a nice heft to it and has worked fine for me so far. That said, Brando was kind enough to send me [...]
Product Requirements: HP iPAQ rz17xx/rx37xx/rx34xx/hx47xx Series Series PDA If you have been waiting for a replacement stylus for your iPAQ hx 4700 that includes a ball-point pen, then the wait is over.

Product Requirements: Device: PalmOne Zire 71 If anyone out there owns a Zire 71, they know why a replacement stylus is pretty much a must. The stock stylus is nothing but a plastic stick, and it’s very flexible. Not only that, but it doesn’t even reset the PDA. In short, there is no upside to [...]
