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.

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.

Amazon Branded Tablets Coming Soon?

Everyone but my mother has jumped onto the tablet bandwagon and now it's the online retail giant, Amazon, is said to begin releasing a few tablets of its own this year. Amazon will release at least two tablets this year under the Amazon brand name running Nvidia's Tegra 2 as well as an ultra-fast quad-core Nvidia T30 processor with a 500% increase over the dual-core Tegra 2 processor. No details further then this have been leaked out at the moment except for the two tablet codenames, dubbed "Coyote" and "Hollywood". Amazon already has the Kindle on its side so bringing a few tablets into the market does seem very plausible.
