Reviews: Styli

Cells I-Pen

First Impressions -
    I was really surprised to find this pen in the mail. �The package it came in had been knarled by the postal service, but after all, it did from Hong Kong (passing through customs on the way). �The pen really looks just like it does in the pictures. �Mine is green and you can see through the casing well (if that is something you look for in a pen). �It is light weight and well proportioned. �I look forward to using it.

Pointing and writing -
    I wasn't very sure how good of a stylus this pen would have. �When I first got it out, the stylus almost seemed to be of "lower quality" then other styli I had used. �The tip is not quite as dense as others are and it more pointed. �The stylus taps like any other stylus really, but when it comes to writing, I far prefer this stylus over many others I have tried. �This stylus is really like writing with a pen that can flow on the screen. �Since the point is sharper then others, it is more accurate, and even with my bad hand writing can recognize letters better.

Overall Worth -
    Lets recap. �It looks good, points good, and writes great. �This stylus is a must have for the PDA user that doesn't want to use that plain built in stylus. �It comes in an array of colors, and will go great with that new iPAQ that you finally got.
Pros:
Lightweight 
Colorful 
Good Stylus Tip 
Has a Pen too
Cons:
No pencil 
Casing cracks easier then other styli

Update (July 2002) - 
    My Cells iPen isn't really in use any more since the mechanism inside has broken.  Turning the top now does nothing, though sometimes I can make the stylus come out.  This is to bad because I liked this one for general use, though it just doesn't stand up to the wear and tear like the metal styli I have.
