Nomad Brush for the iPad

Nomad Brush for the iPad from Don Lee on Vimeo.

Not a lot of info available on this, but it's supposed to be available next month. Wondering how it's supposed to work -- I really hope that the brush bristles somehow DO interact with the screen.

Review: Sock Stylus II

StylusSockII-2010-11-25-13-14.jpg?fileId=9569037

I’ve been trying out the Sock Stylus II from ShapeDad on Etsy and so far, I love it. I liked the first Sock Stylus as well but did find that it occasionally skipped if I tried drawing with the corner seam rather than smoother part of the fabric.

The Sock Stylus II is new and improved version with thicker conductive fabric, and it works like a charm no matter what part of the fabric is touching the screen.

The price from ShapeDad on Etsy: US$7 plus $3 shipping from the Netherlands, or $1 shipping if order other items as well. Right now, the Pogo Sketch Stylus is available from Amazon for US$7.99 (free shipping if you order enough to qualify for their Super Saver).

Possible advantage of the Sock Stylus II: longer lasting? I've yet to have a Pogo Sketch Stylus wear out on me, but I plan to use both types regularly for my drawing, and I'll let you know.

Griffin Stylus For iPad: Cool-Looking But Pricey

Just found out that Griffin has stylus pens that work on the iPad. But...US$20??

I already have a Pogo Style Sketch (US$14.95 if purchased individually, slightly cheaper if you buy in bulk):

How much better is the Griffin stylus? $20 is too much for me to spend on a stylus just to try out, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a chance to try both.

Even the Pogo Sketch Stylus seems a tad expensive to me, considering the iPad screen isn't touch sensitive.
