At only $40, buying an AluPen for yourself isn’t going to set you back an unnecessary amount of money, and it will come in handy no matter for what you use your iPad.

Even better, they’re throwing in USPS shipping for free. The Pogo Stylus gives iPhone and iPod touch users greater control over their more »

Because of the iPhone’s capacitive touch technology (which measures your finger’s electron flow), the use of a normal stylus was highly frowned upon by the device (and, in fact, didn’t even work).
