It has a soft tip. It\u2019s not the one I wanted. I didn\u2019t realize it when I ordered it. I thought I wanted the solid tip because it\u2019s not blunt and could be better at drawing in detail. But, it turns out, the Pogo has it\u2019s advantages.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s smaller than a pen or a pencil. It has\u00a0 built-in clip. But, the soft tip is nice. It glides along the glass surface of the iPad.<\/p>\n<p>I can use it to handwrite in apps that let me take notes on a virtual notepad. I can use it to draw. I can use it in any app instead of my index finger.<\/p>\n<p>But, the surprise is this \u2013 it keeps the screen cleaner. By using the stylus, there are far fewer smudges from using your fingers. So, you won\u2019t have to wipe down the screen as often.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll let you know what else I find out. The Pogo also works with the iPhone and iTouch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sounds crazy huh? Steve Jobs is cursing me right now. Yeah, I bought a stylus.
