Unlike many styluses, it’s long enough for a comfy grip, and is beautifully weighted. They appear to have built something that seemed impossible: a digital pen for the iPad that looks and feels like a pen, with a tip you might mistake for one on a mundane ink-on-paper writing instrument. It works surprisingly well, but you never forget that it’s a technical workaround.īut today, at the Evernote Conference in San Francisco, Evernote and Adonit unveiled the closest thing I’ve seen to a no-compromise stylus for the iPad (and other iOS devices) It’s a $75 battery-powered model called the Jot Script Evernote Edition, shipping in October.Īnd while I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, I did chat with Adonit’s David Sperry and Kris Perpich. Rather than equipping its styluses with soft, stubby, fundamentally unsatisfying points - which is the way every other manufacturer does it - it’s given them a sharp, ballpoint-like tip with a little clear disk on the end. Which is why there’s a booming market for third-party styluses designed for use with Apple’s tablet.Ī company called Adonit has been making some of the best ones, but like all such implements, its Jot products have had to deal with the fact that Apple’s hardware and software were designed for fingertips. With all due respect, there are plenty of instances in which a stylus is darn useful - especially on an iPad, where one is much better for note-taking and drawing than a finger ever will be.
Follow you see a stylus, they blew it.” Steve Jobs famously said that when he introduced the iPhone and its finger-driven interface.
