iPhone artists: paint your way to $500 in the Pogo Stylus art contest
Ten One Design is holding an art contest through July 1st, 2009. The rules are simple; you must use a Pogo Stylus to create a work of art on an iPhone or iPod touch. You can use whatever software you desire, although most of the artwork seen below was created with the help of Brushes [App Store]. The winner will have $500 paid to his or her PayPal account.

The iPhone is designed to work with your fingers, but those stubby appendages aren't the best for doing detailed work. That's why Ten One...

Will Wacom pens work on the iPhone/iPod touch? The problem I have with the Pogo is it looks too thin for a good grip; the Wacom pen has a bigger more comfortable grip.

You can do the same thing and cheaper using an exacto knife's end ...please remove the blade. But one day I discovered this by accident and it's actually very accurate...and much cheaper.

you wouldn't be able to do such fine lines with the finger at the highest zoom factor though, which is how you can tell it has been done with a stylus.
how can they tell if you used their stylus or not?

Also, I presume some artists had sharp their Pogo's in order to get those fine lines?
