    Default review of tablet stylus models

    http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/10/29...us-ipad-review

    A review and ranking of several stylus models for capacitive touchscreens, like the iPad and most Android tablets. Works on the iPhone, too.

    Nice article. thanks for posting it, it comes at a timely moment. I'm going to have to make the Verge part of my daily Internet diet. They've really picked up their game lately.

    I purchased the Targus stylus from Amazon.com. After three weeks of daily use with iPhone and iPad, the stylus continues to work well, and shows little wear to the nib.

    The link above is for the model with an orange color body. There are several other colors. Prices from different vendors vary between $10 and $15, plus shipping.

    How did they miss the Targus stylus in that review. It seems to be the most popular one out there. I had the original and never really had an issue with it until it walked away. I just bought the new one with is longer and feels better to use.

    Here's round two of the stylus evaluation. The $26 Applydea Maglus (it's an Irish company) stylus is the new winner.
    See the update about halfway down the page.
