Meet The Zeppelin, A Missile-Like Capacitive Stylus

We've got yet another incredibly interesting capacitive stylus straight out of Kickstarter that targets Adonit's Jot stylus in hopes of shooting it down with its missile looks. The Zeppelin stylus is made out of machined solid aluminum with a contoured body shape, but its secrete isn't the missile style cap that serves as the Zeppelin's protective tip cap, but also as a visually appealing rocket stand. The tip is made out of a coiled teflon coated tempered stainless steel with a sprint base that allows for multiple writing angles and eliminates any clicking and tapping noise on the iPad's glass touchscreen, unlike the Jot's plastic disk that makes a quite audible tapping sound we've discovered while reviewing it.

The Zeppelin's stainless steel coiled tip is said to offer an ever clearer, unobstructed view for more precision over the Jot's clear plastic disk and ball point tip. Built-in magnets allow the Zeppelin to magnetically cling onto the iPad 2's bezel. In any case, the Zeppelin is available to pre-order for $25 and should retail for $59 once the Kickstarter funding is successful.

Thanks for the tip, Ken!

Ten One Design's Pogo Sketch Pro Stylus, A Piece Of Art

After the success of Ten One Design's Pogo Stylus, the company has recently launched a new stylus designed to work with the iPad and iPad 2 with an aluminum unibody design for a solid and balanced build. The Pogo Sketch Pro is most likely the longest stylus ever made that looks like an artist's paint brush. The Pogo Sketch Pro stylus features an ergonomic rubber grip and a patent pending, pattern structures in the Pogo Sketch Pro's rubber tip that is said to be sensitive enough to be effective in virtually any angle while being able to smoothly glide across a touch screen. It also comes with replaceable tips and is available now for $24.95.

Just Mobile's AluCube Will Hold Your AluPen Stylus

Today is the day all of you AluPen stylus users should rejoice because Just Mobile has rolled out the only missing component to the pencil-shaped aluminum stylus called the AluCube. It's a solid chunk of an aluminum cube that acts almost like a dock to stand the AluPen stylus in an upright angle. The AluPen simply slides into the AluCube's rubberized interior hole at the top when you're not using it. A neat little desk accessory that will not only look good, but it will also help keep one of your charging cables tidied up. The AluCube is available as a standalone cubical AluPen desk holder for $15.95, or for those of you who don't own an AluPen - in a AluCube plus AluPen bundle for $39.95.

Adonit Jot Stylus, World's Most Accurate Capacitive Stylus?

Adonit, the same guys who successfully brought you the Writer and Writer 2 keyboard folio case for the iPad and iPad 2 thanks to Kickstarter, have now developed a stylus to go along with the theme called the Jot. The secrete behind the Jot capacitive touch screen stylus made from aluminum and steel is in its tip. A precision thin, clear disk tip allows you to see exactly where you point your tip on the touch screen and get a more precise input while the ball point lets you comfortably use any angle. I swear I've seen this sort of stylus tip somewhere before. The Jot will be available in two flavors, the standard Jot stylus will come in 5 different colors while the Jot Pro will be available in more professional looking silver and black colors. The Jot Pro stylus will also feature a magnetic cling that can be attached to the iPad 2 and a rubber finger grip. 

The Jot stylus is set to retail for $18, and the Jot Pro stylus is set to retail for $30. You can pre-order yours over at Kickstarter at a discounted pre-order price.

Update: We've already got a review up on both the Jot and Jot Pro stylus right here.
