Pogo Sketch
For those looking to use an iPad stylus, Ten One Design offers the Pogo Sketch. The body of the Pogo Sketch is a lightweight aluminum alloy with an anodized finish. The soft tip glides easily on any capacitive touch screen display (including the iPhone) and is also compatible with Apple multi-touch MacBook track pads. A pen clip holds the Pogo Sketch in a pocket or the stylus can be tied via the built-in end loop. The Pogo Sketch comes in two colors, hot pink or silver and retails for $14.95.
"While using the Pogo Sketch I noticed it required very little effort to use. You do have to make full and direct contact, not just brush across it, however it is not something that requires great effort and it shouldn't slow you down or become a hassle. The Pogo Sketch is very light weight and you can't feel anything in your hand as you use it so it is very non intrusive."
"Using the iPhone with the Pogo Sketch is pretty much the same as using it with your finger. Pointing with the Sketch can be somewhat more finicky—I found myself having to double-tap from time to time, and accuracy isn’t as good as it usually is with a fingertip. Using the iPhone with gloves on, however, is actually possible with the Sketch."
"Overall, if you’re in need of a stylus for your iPhone 3G or iPod touch, we’d sooner recommend the prior Pogo Stylus, as the newer version’s added size, shirt clip, and less precise top didn’t add anything we’d consider to be more worthy of the $15 asking price. That having been said, if you’re really concerned about shirt-pocketing the stylus and prefer a clip system that’s device-agnostic, Pogo Sketch isn’t bad; we’d just expect more from a pen-styled tool."
"Using a stylus on the iPhone is a joy, and I found it much more liberating than I expected. If you've ever felt like your fingers got in the way of some of the work you do on your iPhone, this is an elegant solution. Input lag was more pronounced with the stylus, however, since you tend to move it more quickly than your digits."

1 year 20 weeks
I am using this stylus a few weeks and I learn from Ten One Design that they are working on pogo stylus with point instead of this one thats flat. It would be better with the iPad to have a stylus with a nice point for general use and also for making art
they are also very nice people at Ten One Design. I got mail back today immediately from Dave Skinner
You need a stylus rather than doing everything with your fingers
