Pogo Stylus for the iPhone
This is being marketed as a stylus for those with long fingernails, but there have been many times when my fingers haven’t been able to quite make things work on the iPhone. The Pogo Stylus for the iPhone is a stylus, just like I had with the Treo, which I honestly miss. According to the Pogo Stylus website, here are the benefits of a stylus:
The sleek design of the Pogo Stylus features an ultra-light aluminum body with an anodized finish and laser graphics. The soft tip glides easily over the surface of the display, making it fun and easy to sketch, draw characters, or just slide to unlock. Sized for accuracy, it does away with the awkward typos and misfires common to fingertip-only use.
Eliminating fingers has the added benefit of keeping the screen free of smudges and grease. Designed to firmly hug the contours of the iPhone 3G, the Pogo Stylus travel clip will keep your stylus close at hand. A second clip is included for the original iPhone and iPod touch.
I’m digging on this red one:
The only problem I can see with this stylus is the multi-touch features. How do I pinch or stretch with the stylus? I can’t and I can imagine fumbling with the stylus in my hand while I have to go back to using my fingers. This is a cool idea, but the more that Apple adds multi-touch gestures, the less useful it will be. Considering I usually text with two thumbs, I think a stylus would slow me down.
