I’ve got big fingers. Well, big for a iPhone keypad. I couldn’t help but think back to my old Palm. Ahh, how that stylus made things faster. And loved the stylus/pen combo.
So I thought, there must be an iPhone stylus. And there are. A whole two of them (Ten One’s Pogo or Touchpensys). Because the Touchpensys isn’t available without excessive overseas shipping, I opted for the Pogo. Problem is, the Pogo Stylus is no better than your finger.
The iPhone screen is much different than the Palm. The iPhone screen is designed to be touched by a finger. Or something that mimics a finger. And that is what the Pogo Stylus attempts to do – replicate your finger.
The stylus is basically a small, metal pen shaft with a foam tip. To get any sort of response from the stylus you need to press pretty hard. That was enough to make me send it back. Not to mention, the Pogo Clip Pack wasn’t quite large enough to wrap around my Mophie Juice Pack.
Ahh, the days of a stylus are all but gone.
