Comments on: The Pogo: Fancy new stylus for iPhone and iPod Touch hits the market

Ten One Design is now offering a $19.99 stylus for the iPhone and iPod Touch that has an ultralight aluminum body with an anodized finish, laser graphics, and soft tip that glides easily over the surface of the display, making it fun and easy to sketch an

This almost defeats the purpose of having a Touch of any sort in the first place. While I'm not a fan of Apple, the whole purpose is to interact with the device. The only plus to this Pogo stylus is, as mentioned in the article, it doesn't leaves smudges. I guess if you really hate smudging up your Touch, then it would be worth it....but the price seems steep for a stick.

pretty worthless product. i have had an iphone for about 14 months and have found fingers to be both accurate and precise. why would i want to carry that aluminum stick around when i bought a touchscreen device designed for use with my fingers... which are much harder to lose by the way. also in the smudges department... 1) its gonna get smudged when you talk on it for voice calls, no way around that, and 2) ever heard of a t-shirt? gets the job done on my iphone.

Not agree with those not agreeing building this.
While surely most apps can be operate with fingers, there are apps which has benefit with stylus like iChinese. I believe there are other languages other there too. It enable one to practice learning writing/reading languages.

Question - Is Steve Jobs happy with this? :)

um, thanks guys for thinking about those of us who live in the frigid parts of the world.

did any of you consider how nice it will be to have this during the winter.
aparently not.

anyhow. I'm happy about it.
20 bucks...big deal

better check the specs and make sure it works with gloves... the stylus might still need to touch skin in order to work....

[glen engelmann]

most people are forgetting about a couple of the "big" complaints about the iphone.... long finger nails... and sausage fingers...this would certainly help those people.

Also, re the whole smudges thing, Power Support's Anti-Glare Film Set covers that front. Fingerprint resistant.

Practice makes perfect, people. Even if you don't get the finger tricks right away getting a stylus guarantees you never will. Seems pointless (in warmer climes).

You guys don't see the point of have the styles. There's tons of little thinks that I can't push with my finger.
