As if there weren’t enough capacitive styli out there for the iPad, here’s another one from Kickstarter success Adonit (who make the Adonit Writer we previewed here in a Kickstarter Macworld story — review coming soon) called the Jot. Ah, but this one’s different.
The $18 Kickstarted Jot employs a flat disk attached, via ball-and-socket, to a fine point at the end of the stylus. The upshot is finer control, more like a pen, but unlike a pen, the ability to write at more extreme angles.
Looks pretty cool, and Adonit are set to release it in August. $25 For those of you who drive Beemers Bimmers, there’s also the upscale Jot Pro at $30, with a more austere finish, rubberized grip and magnet so it can cling to your iPad. A $25 pledge will get you two Jots or one Pro

Nice! Looks much better than some of the other ones I’ve worked with. Their design decisions are also very intelligently made. I like that the Pro will stick to your iPad 2 near the top using the existing magnets used for the smart covers.
I’m a biotechnology senior at the university. I use the ipad and it taken over as my main computer. If I wanted to make an article for college bound or present students. I am not looking to get paid just spread some information.

Beemers are ridden.
Bimmers are driven.
Bah. Capacitive “styluses” are just fake fingers. A sausage would do as well.
Wake me up when there is a real stylus for iOS.
Thank god someone actually understands the difference. Bravo!

Isn’t that rather common knowledge for what used to be called a yuppie?

Or someone who rides a Beemer every day. Cheers, mate.
