Billed as an “active stylus” for the iPad, the iPen can be recognised by the tablet even when the tip hovers above the display. Allowing for improved stylus accuracy, but also facilitating an on-screen cursor. More »

Scribbly Is Still Just An iPad Stylus, But A Really Fun-Looking iPad Stylus

3:20AM June 28, 2011 | Adrian Covert

The Scribbly stylus doesn’t do anything that any other iPad doesn’t do. It’s just taken the form of a giant marker, which tricks us all into thinking it’s more fun. It’s probably more comfortable to hold as well. £10. More »

Wacom Bamboo Stylus Might Be The First Good Stylus For iPad

2:46AM April 19, 2011 | Casey Chan

Using a stylus with the iPad is pretty silly! But this Wacom Bamboo Stylus might not be. Not only does it have the Wacom name behind it, but the Bamboo Stylus has a tip (6mm) that’s 25 per cent narrower than most other stylii, which should help make the Bamboo Stylus more accurate. More »

The NoteSlate is a 13-inch e-ink tablet that mimics paper. You can jot down notes with the stylus and store them digitally—so simple, yet so awesome. I’d never buy a Moleskine again. Coming out in June 2011 for $US100 More »

That overpriced, oversized Kno tablet? A video look-behind-the-scenes has revealed some high-tech testing equipment – namely, a Lego robotic-arm used to test the touchscreens and ambient light sensors. Wicked sideburns on the Lego robot’s human-overlord too, I might add. More »
