Best iPad Stylus
I was looking for some help on the best iPad Stylus. I want to use it primarily for writing and taking notes with the WritePad app so I am looking for one with a more narrow point.
thanks

It looks like the Wacom Bamboo Stylus is really good but why is it so hard to get in the US? You can get it on ebay but have to spend an arm and a leg. Any ideas?
I bought in on Amazon, the retail price is $29.95.
I saw it on Amazon but it says the ship time is 1-2 months. Was it like that for you
Took 6 weeks for me.
how long ago did you order it? What are your reviews on it? Is it the best choice for using WritePad and writing down class notes?
I ordered it back when that article was written, it is the best of the 5 I have for writing.
My ipad stylus pen looks like a pen and only cost less than 10 bucks, cheap one but works great.
I know it's months later but best buy has dozen of them if anyone want one. 29.99
You can purchase it at Best Buy if you have one close to you. That's where I bought mine.
The best stylus for professionals is in fact the NEAT Cosmonaut, it was tested, and it shows better results especially for sketching. It is only $25: http://www.studioneat.com/products/cosmonaut
Brookstone has one for 10 dolalrs. But kinda small even with the extending feature. I lost mine. But while I had it recently it was decent.
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.
My favorite so far has been the Pogo Sketch Pro. $24.95 on http://tenonedesign.com/sketchpro.php but I'm sure you can find it cheaper if you look around.
My favorite is hands down the Pandy Stylus. It is a two in one stylus with a pen on one end and a rubber nib on the other.
I use the Stylus end for both my iPhone and my iPad and it works great.
But just as importantly, I find that having a pen on the other end doesnt make me drag five things around (I carry pen in my Suit pocket at all times anyway)
I ordered a few other duo pens online but most of them cant be refilled or they are just (excuse my french) "crap"
I got mine from http://www.stylusshop.us Just search for "Panda" in the search box of the site and you will find it easily.
