Often the simplest of ideas take time to appear. I've never been a fan of using a stylus on a mobile device and there is usually no need to use one with iPhone or iPad. However, I have been finding note taking using the many brilliant apps out there (Like Notability and Bamboo Paper) and sketching using the brilliant iOS apps like Procreate can be a whole lot more pleasurable if a properly designed stylus is used. Properly is the operative word - my search for a properly designed stylus for the iOS devices drew blank. There are some which looks like a child's crayon, and some like twigs (Pogo Stylus).

Today I heard of something that the designer of LunaTik watch enclosures for the iPod Nano is planning. The idea is simple. It is a stylus and doubles as a pen, allowing the user to seamlessly switch between paper and screen. Naturally, I have signed up for one. Waiting till April is a pain, but one must, for all good things.
