Tools, Gadgets, and Widgets - Adonit Stylus

I love my iPad 2. I love being able to pop it in my bag and I can have everything I need at my fingertips. Finances, files, entertainment. I like taking notes using the note app, Penultimate by Evernote instead of carrying around a bulky notebook or scraps of paper. The only downer to taking notes on the tablet was the stylus. Most styli are the size of your finger tip. The fat, round size makes it hard to see where your mark is being made. Why can't companies make a stylus that was more like a pen? They used to when the old Palm Pilots were around.

I happened to Google slim stylus one day and came across the Adonit Jot Pro. Just what I was looking for. A fine point tip and clear disc lets you see where your mark is being made. It also magnetically attaches to the tablet so it won't get lost. So of course, I wanted one right away. Staples has them online, but not in their stores. And the sales help didn't know what I was talking about. Ditto Best Buy not having them in the store or the help knowing about them. I was going to order online when I found one in the iPad accessories aisle of Target of all places. Oh joy! Oh rapture! I can now take notes and feel as if I'm writing with paper and pen instead of a tree trunk.

Adonit makes the Jot in different styles and prices ranges. The Jot Pro is modestly priced at $29.99
