Adonit Intros Jot Touch & Jot Mini Styluses

The stylus saga continues as Adonit revealed its latest styluses at CES 2012. Adonit's Jot Touch is the next step, more featured stylus to the company's original Jot Pro stylus that we took a look at a while back. Adonit has really stepped it up this time and has implemented hardware and software to co-interact with one another with the Jot Touch. It features the same clear precision plastic disk tip that lets you see more precisely, beautiful machined aluminum body, Bluetooth connectivity that makes the Jot Touch fully sensitive to pressure when writing and drawing works of art on capacitive touchscreens as well as making it compatible with virtually every platform such as Windows, iOS and Android; a built-in rechargeable battery is said to last 12 hours on a single charge and charges up when docked in the included portable USB charging base.

But one of the more noticeable addition are two short cut buttons located at the rubbery finger grip area making it a serious stylus professionals would want to use. Adonit isn't clear whether these short cut buttons can be assigned different tasks, but it's safe to say that some kind of customization will be available via an app.

Then there's Adonit's second new stylus called the Jot Mini, a shorter version of what Adonit now calls the Jot Classic, which features a smaller clear precision plastic disk tip and a sliced portion in the aluminum body that acts as a neat shirt clip and is ideal for pocket carry and a definite kid-friendly stylus too. Adonit plans to release the Jot Touch in March for just under $100. No price is available for the Jot Mini as of yet.

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.

Adonit's Writer Keyboard Folio For iPad 2 Might Be The One

There are already numerous keyboard cases for the iPad and iPad 2, but Adonit's Writer keyboard folio for the iPad 2 stands out with its mixture of aluminum and biodegradable fabrics. The Writer's Bluetooth keyboard has a spacious full keyboard layout with what Adonit claims to have "scissor action Keys" that provide you with the perfect key press and tactile feedback, similar to Apple's chiclet keys. You won't find a built-in rechargeable battery that powers this Bluetooth keyboard though. Instead, you'll have to use 3 AAA batteries which should last you about a month of heavy use. 

Quick eject and a magnetic adjustable viewing strip allows for unlimited viewing angles while maintaining a stable posture, are amongst the Writer's key features. The Writer keyboard folio for the iPad 2 is now available to help you publish that novel of yours for $110.
