Pogo Stylus for iPhone (Review)

[amit92911]

like if u hate..

[xDannyDeathcorex]

rofl you're a slow slow typer xD

[ricknica]

IF YOU LIVE IN COLD WEATHER! .. hhahaha .. i write faster with my ear

[dudearlo]

gloves wouldnt work because the screen uses electro conductivty 

[Alchemais]

Lol I did a DIY ordeal where I made a stylus from a cotton swab and tin foil, both of which is in a normal house hold xD so basically I didn't even spend 1$ for mine and the only thing I dont have is the side piece to hold the stylus pen to the side of my iPhone, just google DIY iPhone stylus

[lawrenceofaus]

haha how old are you dude? If that is faster than you usually type...

[Carlton]

iPhone Jailbreak was the first Google search in the Pogo demonstration =D NICE!

[iamtimthegreat]

$25! thats just STUPID I got mine from budget gadgets for $2!!!!

[tomsueymovies]

This is very sim to the Styloid by Radtech. I find this great when a am doing a demo on the new App I have developed Visual Media Release which is designed with photographers/filmmakers in mind. The stylist is great when the user has to obtain signature right on the screen instead of using the index finger users can now hand the stylist to the model/property owner/witness to sign with gloves on ;)

[oliverumy]

Just got this but I wont use it.. Its not soft.. It will scratch your display ..

[MrDanielmichaels]

nice video

[EngLhag]

Well... I just want one of these to don't have to take my gloves off when snowing....

fucking cold and iphone just works ass thermal touch screen =)

[MrGunnersaurusRex]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[ciliboy3]

but still... cant use the pinch to zoom thing with our gloves on

[MrEntrepreneur24]

It's not rare to hear someone say..."Why a stylus? Fingers work great." Using fingers - is the very same thing as driving a car WITHOUT power steering. Fingers don't slide easily or smoothly across the screen. Fingers make ALL screens look like the owner vomited on it after only 11 minutes use. Fingers have absolute ZERO class. How can anyone use fingers - after watching the YOUTUBE videos seen on beststylusDOTcom. Time to grow up and into the best stylus in the world made by STYLUS-R-US

[bilbo1195]

you can't use the stylus with gloves, becose you need to touch the stylus

[navi1041]

it is probably only good for ppl that dont like to get marks on their screen

other than its useless probably good for the ipad.

$25 kiss my arse lol

[preemptivejonat]

USAiTunesGiftCards . COM Says it all !

[Ihaveapsp]

Lol I can type way much faster with my fingers than how fast he was going...

[roughryder5]

how often do you have to replace the foam tip? because it doesnt look like its everlasting.

[okcperson10]

Would the thing to hold the stylus work with the iPod Touch 2nd Gen. also?

[Road360Rage]

Actually, I found your review very helpful.

Hopefully they're sold in Canada. =)

[Lazerkatz0r0Strikin]

you can multitouch with 2 of these tho.

[Lazerkatz0r0Strikin]

@Lazerkatz0r0Strikin yea i didn't read gtgidemgreen's post : O ... btw the qwerty keyboard is so retarded.. im not sure why would touchscreen devices use a keyboard that is specifically made to slow typing down. now this is very noticeable with a stylus, which'd be a great tool otherwise.

[gtgidemgreen]

you can do multi-touch, you just need 2 styluses

[sam92296]

if you type slower than that without a stylus... somethings wrong with you- that was like 2 words per hour

[BrentLarryproduction]

@sam92296 I know, if he can't type faster than that, he actually has to have a mental issue

[sam92296]

@BrentLarryproduction i know, shit, i literally skipped ahead like 30 seconds and he was still typing

[BrentLarryproduction]

@sam92296 hahaha yeah! It's so funny

[bassguitarrocker]

If you type faster with that stylus than with your fingers, you really suck.

[jaimevlogs]

this would be useful for the iPad.

[digitalpwnage]

Yeh its exactly what i wanted it for, glad im not the only one ;D

[mariokid2115]

@jaimevlogs It works for the iPad just the clip won't fit.

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

There are alot of fake pogos floating around on ebay. So be more careful than i was...

The difference is that you have to press down hard with the fake pogo's for the itouch to respond which makes them pretty useless.

[xsonicbladex]

$25?!?!?! ouch!

[AngelChildxxx]

"I found that I can actual type faster with the stylus"

Seriously?? You are VERY VERY VERY SLOW. With my fingers I type 5x faster. This would be a objective review?...come on

[kdindustries]

thanks!!! that did help

i saw this at apple and didnt believe it until i saw your review on it

THANKS!!!

[allan136Q]

im a idiot xD

[testing4echo]

Thanks

[Acp01cYc10qcK]

FACE GAY

[racketer]

yeah thats some good grammer your using there "face gay". Sure makes a lot of sense. I can see your a smart person from your comment

[HermitObserver]

I believe you meant *grammar and *you're. Just sayin'.

[racketer]

go fuck your own face. Just sayin'.

[allan136Q]

im left hander and the stylus is in the right

[ddogg845]

flip it

[Greg14DB]

What's the point? The whole UI is designed so you don't need a stylus. All for the glove thing you can make a tinny hole, or use one that has a flap thing.

[xsonicbladex]

drawing and hand writing

[jonoaa]

the negative side of a magnet works on laptop trackpads

[fac3fin]

I type faster with only my left hand!

[rudeplatypus]

Thats typing fast?.............

[AngelChildxxx]

you're right. The guy in the video doesn't know what he say.

[XxXRangerXxX]

@rudeplatypus if thats fast we needa tell intel theyve got alien tech : )

[ScorchinBeats]

@rudeplatypus I wanna see you type "fast" with a stupid touch screen keyboard on the iphone

[karandex]

this is fast typing ???

[reel2real5]

pause at 0:04

funny face lolz

[GuyWithNoCamButMic]

will a DS stylus work?

[JuneChick2]

@GuyWithNoCamButMic no it won't. Before the iphone stylus, you could well see it was only responsive to your fingers. im no scientist, but thats that =]

[aahhmmeedd112233]

if that sticks faster then your hands are broken

[ittekimasu]

Great review was wanting one to use with an art application and looks that it would be quiet responsive from the video. Cheers

[guitaro5000]

I tested the negative side of a battery on my laptop finger pad and it worked. It's all about conduction.

[Robrob007]

true, the negative side of a AA or AAA battery works perfect in my iphone too.

[guitaro5000]

It doesn't respond to heat. It's the same sensory technology method used by the finger pad on your laptop. If it can work on your laptop (and I found that even a carrot worked), it should work on your capacitive touch screen (like the one on an iPhone).

[sransari]

good review, thanks man. very helpful.

[andyroo24601]

Beep beep beep "The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain your Pogo dialing wand, please mash the touch screen with your palm now."

[MikeHamilla]

You type as fast as a retarded kid with feet for hands and an IQ of four.

[leech9211]

haha

[ChopStiXVisuals]

HAHAHA!! I use two thumbs when I type on my iPhone. About 5 times as fast at least.

[GuyWithNoCamButMic]

So he types like you?

[DorkyMrDucky]

thank you for making this

[RMskater]

This video was really helpful, as I was first very skeptical of a stylus working. I thought the iPhone was heat and electro statically sensitive, so to speak, like laptop touchpads. It was nice to see this in action. I'm guessing so, but I would assume for multitouch input that you could use the stylus and one finger?I mainly just want this for a word search game I have, which has ridiculously tiny letters. Thanks again for the video, it was great!

[LESTERNIDOY]

I tried a battery and it worked

[BromineZinc]

Yeah! I did that too, but I had to keep my finger pressed on the top.

[peacemakerq8]

lol yeah you can but it may scratch the iphone but funny stylus the battery is lol

[Playgeer]

Oh yeah, that's SUCH fast typing :/

[LukkEttSis]

Man, you can type really fast..

[macguy287]

can u have a case on your phone and still attach the stylus attached to it???

[baeball101]

FUCKING $25 FOR STYLUS

can i use my ds stylus

[jonahkwok]

You can try ;)

[guitaro5000]

No. From what I understand, the DS responds to pressure. You can use your math pencil on a DS. Not on an iPod or iPhone. THey respond to something else (most likely conduction of electricity). I think anything conductive will work, like a human finger (which you can steal off a bumb) or an aluminum hanger.

[foto101]

Alot of positives, but not too much thought on any negatives. First of all it sits "out" from the iphone, so it will eventually catch on alot of areas like pants pocket edges. I can already tell you will lose it (25 bucks!), since it does not sit "inside" the hand held device like pretty much every other device that uses a stylus. I am still on the fence (no matter what my girl says) because only ATT offers the phone, but I have owned a million other pdas. Trust me, these things will happen....

[JohnWarrior82]

does it work for ipod toucH????

[Ossaammuu]

duh

[randomenglish]

nigga you best be trolling

[Insatanic]

no shit

[Ovechkin1726]

Play tap tap revenge 2 with that ;)

[kylix9000]

people say this is useless. they dont consider other people's problem.s such as me i have hyperhidrosis so my hands and fingers are always wet. i blur up the screen in a few minutes of play.

[demover7]

ew lol

[tham0728]

whats that?

[XxMsrSzprzxX]

I think it's more fun using my thumbs or fingers, but If i were to do somthing more precise involving using an app which requires accuracy, or somthing like that, I'd use this.

[Z00T93]

did he say that it cost $25? LOL i bought two pens for like $3, lol epic win for me

[MBLOM1981]

why? its ment to be used by the finger!! if a stylus was needet im sure apple would aply one with the iphone...i got the iphone and works great without a stylus

[greywolfangel]

Many people prefer to use a stylus because it's more precise when typing, and like he said, if you're using gloves, you can't use the iPhone. Obviously many people use it just fine without it, but for some, this is exactly what they need.

[stevceb]

is the tip of the stylus soft, or rubbery?

what is the texture?

[StormyTrooper]

it's foam and it's crap. I have one, you have to press too hard.... rubbish!

[ikilledobama]

the stylus looks to fat i want a thinner one

[Jailbreak2G]

u no u can just use a battery..

[aliensshampoo]

this could be very useful for Flipbook

[penguinisnuts]

I need one!

I have this crappy Chinese eBay one!

[Balaajk]

the head is to big, not percise enough.

[AppleiPhoneReview]

Ten One Design has a new product called the Pogo Sketch, which has a thinner tip. That might work better.

[oystein246]

@Balaajk smaller than fingers

[Goyboy2000]

@Balaajk thats what she said

[RenegadeFury]

This is pretty uuseless

[ethanwc]

You CAN zoom in with the stylus. A quick double tap will zoom you in and out.

[joseph888w]

fukken hell 25 quid no way thats a pce os alu thats all

[CkNyan]

You're a slow typer. :/

[swiftcurrent]

man i type faster with my thumbs and i have big hands

[Z33lnR44l]

exactly, lol

[Saanax3]

Can't use multi-touch? Get 2 pogo styluses!

Problem solved.

[paperclipman5]

25 dollars, thats expensive, Id use 10 dollars t experiment, and make my own

[nativesun]

good review. thnx.

in response to 101 - I thought the ipod/phones

responded to electricity in the fingers not heat.

I would assume these pogo's genrate a small amount of electricity. although I've seen no mention of batteries related to them...shrugs

[camdaddy09]

yea i think its a negative electric current or whatever you wanna call it. you could use the negative end of a battery if you want.

[waste234]

Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting one, but why did they make the tip so big?

[webmanic7]

yes it did help! Thanks!

[bear807]

i can make one as good as this look at my video lol!

[johnmonk66]

your video does not show anything

[petikeisaz]

blody 25$

[AppleReview101]

How does it work, the ipod/iphone are heat sensitive, seeing why regular pens or anything else doesnt work?

[gabosf]

pretty!!!!

[clyparkr]

Hmmm i wonder if I could use this stylus to draw on the iphone... im really looking for a good drawing app so I can create drawings on the go

[back2schoolfool]

sketches
