by Steven Sande (Feb 6th, 2012)

Dear Aunt TUAW: Help me find a pointy iPad stylus

by Erica Sadun (Jun 23rd, 2011)

Dear Aunty TUAW, I just bought an iPad and I want a stylus for taking notes, but every stylus I see online has a tip that's as blunt as a piece of chalk. Why aren't there any pointy-tip capacitive styli available? Your friend, R Dear R, Pointy styluses (stylii?) are a no-go because ...

Review: Crayola ColorStudio HD and Griffin iMarker pair up for coloring time

by Michael Rose (Jun 5th, 2011)

When Griffin and Crayola announced their collaboration back at CES in January, the idea of a combined stylus and drawing/painting iPad app for kids -- with the power to distinguish between finger touches and the tip of the stylus -- sounded fantastic. The flexibility of the iPad for keeping ...

Maglus iPad stylus rendered for Fund.it, an Irish Kickstarter-like project

by Samuel Gibbs (May 2nd, 2011)

Considering the iPad 2 works just fine with just a finger for most people, I wouldn't have thought there was much of a mass-market for a capacitive stylus for use on the 9.7" tablet. But that hasn't stopped people trying, including a new Irish Kickstarter-like project called The Maglus. The ...

Kickstart the Flow: a capacitive touchscreen paintbrush

by Chris White (Apr 21st, 2011)

It must be stylus month on Kickstarter, with first the Cosmonaut and now the Flow appearing on the funding website. Like the Nomad Brush, the Flow by Joystickers is modeled after a paintbrush. The Flow has capacitive bristles rather than the traditional foam tip to more closely match the ...

by Chris White (Apr 20th, 2011)

If you're an artist and you like to paint with your iPad, then you know how much nicer it can be to use a capacitive stylus rather then your finger. While there are already a number of styluses that work with iOS devices on the market, Studio Neat has decided there's room for one more. The ...

Apple patents suggest iPad "kickstand," graphics pen

by Mike Schramm (Feb 3rd, 2011)

Apple's R&D is always hard at work coming up with various ideas for Apple products, and when they do, Apple usually lays down the paperwork for patents on them, whether they're destined for actual release or not. A few of these wacky ideas have popped up in the USPTO lately, and while they'll ...

Sausage stylus comes to the US

by Michael Grothaus (Mar 5th, 2010)

It was a little less than a month ago when news broke of a South Korean company called CJ Corporation noticing a sharp increase in sales of their frozen sausages. CJ did some digging around and it turned out the good people of South Korea were using their sausages as iPhone styluses. Someone who was ...

Frozen sausage as iPhone stylus

by Dave Caolo (Feb 12th, 2010)

Using an iPhone in the cold presents a quandry. You don't want to freeze your fingers, but gloves make the touchscreen difficult to use. Unless you've got Dots Gloves. Or sausages. In South Korea, CJ Corporation noticed a sharp increase in sales of their frozen sausages. Not because they're ...

Apple considering stylus for the tablet? They've applied for a patent, but...

by Steven Sande (Jan 15th, 2010)

Steve Jobs hates styluses (styli?). At the January, 2007 Macworld Expo keynote where Jobs introduced the iPhone to the world, he went so far as to ask "Who wants a stylus?" and expressed his distaste for stylus input with a "Yeccch!" However, that hasn't kept Apple from applying for a patent on ...

Have a MacBook running Snow Leopard? Give someone your Autograph

by Steven Sande (Sep 1st, 2009)

Up to this point in time, if you wanted to "sign" an electronic document (other than a secure PDF), you either had to scan your signature with a scanner and import the resulting graphic into your document, or purchase a digitizing tablet. Ten One Design, the same folks who brought us the Pogo Sketch ...
