Best stylus and note taking app?

There are some posts in the forum for using a stylus and note taking app for the iPad. Seems like everyone is using something different? I'd like to use them for writing notes as you would with a pen and paper. I don't want a stylus that you have to press really hard to use it.

Has anyone had good success for writing notes with a stylus and note taking app? Which ones?

Im using NOTERIZE app. All around, I think its the best app out there for note taking ( Ive purchased over 10 of them so far ). The developer worked with me on some issues and everyday contacted me and let me know how things were progressing. He also let me beta test and seems to really care a lot about the app.

I used to use the POGO stylus but ditched it ever since the Griffin Stylus and the Targus stylus came out. THey are basically the same but you have to hunt for them. I kept looking at Best Buys site everyday until I was able to do a store pickup and the other one I ordered from Ebay.

THe Targus and Griffin stylus are MUCH MORE responsive than the POGO one. THe tip is more durable and doesn't "flake" off eventually. Its not like a tablet PC yet ( as far as accuracy, pressure, etc ) but its the best think out there so far

Hi,
I also think Noterize is the best app for highliting and annotating all kinds of PDFs (having tried both goodreader and iAnnotate without success).
How did you get hold of the developer? I also need to a make a few suggestions and I don't think he'll read reviews on itunes switzerland where i purchased the app.. .
One thing that is missing is that if I zoom a pdf in noterize, I cannot see the zoom on a projector screen (this is a problem that is not there in goodreader, but then again goodreader does not allow one to annotate any file at all while using a projector...)

I've developed an electronic ballpoint stylus for the iPad. The tip is a very smooth solid metal sphere of 3 mm diameter. It glides easily over the glass surface of the touchscreen. The small size of the tip makes it attractive for drawing or handwriting, as one can see the point of contact of the stylus with the screen. The large blunt tips of the styluses on the market hide the work being done.
