Pogo iPhone Stylus is just what iPhone users wanted

Posted in iPhone by Shane McGlaun on March 28th, 2008

Pogo iPhone StylusI really like my iPhone, but man I have a really hard time typing on the phone because the keys are so small. On more than one occasion I have wished for a nice pointy stylus to use for navigation and typing. The problem is that the touch screen is capacitive so it only works with a finger—or does it?

ThinkGeek has a sweet iPhone stylus from Pogo that promises to work with the iPhone. It uses some sort of felt like material on the end that fools the touch screen into thinking your finger is pressing the buttons. The Pogo for iPhone also works with the iPod touch.

The soft material also cleans the screen of goo and grime as you use it. The only problem I see is that the tip of the Pogo stylus still looks pretty fat to me. I’m not sure if it will actually be any better than my finger for typing web addresses and emails. The Pogo iPhone Stylus is available now for $24.99 and includes a stylus holder that clamps to the iPhone.

    LAME……buy a PDA if you want a stylus………..defeats the purpose of a touch screen….the iphone is like a stripper, it wants to be touched…..using a stylus just makes the strippers mad.

    This is great to cut down on fingerprint on the iPhone. I will buy it for that purpose.

  3. Ekhrie Says:

    The iPhones small keys are designed to be used with large fingers- apple already worked that out. If you hit the r for example, you might accidently hit the t at the same time. If the MAJORITY of your finger is on the r key, it will be registered as an r.
