Why can't the stylus for the iPad be pionted instead of those rounded rubber balls? There are apps for note taking that a firmer more pointed stylus would sure help with.

Does anyone know of a firmer more pointed stylus on the market than the pogo stick or targus?

iPad 2

The touchscreen on the iPad is "capacitive" which means it functions differently than the old touch screens that used a stylus. For technological reasons, the tip of any stylus must be more rounded.


If you are looking for a finer tip, the best one I've seen is the Wacom bamboo stylus. It's expensive at $30 but it's the cat's meow. Another good one is the AYL stylus on Amazon
