I'm Scott Steinem this is some of my iPad art now you don't need a pen or any sort of stylus to create art like this on an iPad just use your little finger ask any Draw Something addict then again there's a pretty big market for iPad skylight why because the more art that you do on an iPad or any sort of capacitive tablet like an Android tablet you're probably going to want to use something like a pen otherwise that the finger painting can get a little bit tiring there are a lot of style I on the market and one of the favorites that I saw last year was the Wacom Bamboo Stylus a 30-dollar stylus that had a nice aluminum barrel and a good feel to it and a nice rubber tip well lo and behold Wacom has introduced the stylus duo for people who still like writing on regular pads with pens because it is a stylus with a pen on the other end pretty obvious and pretty clever this is ten dollars more than last year's wacom stylus and it's a little bit larger to accommodate the size and feel of a pen would be plus there's a refillable ink cartridge in here that works like any standard refillable ballpoint ink pen I mean it's not the most spectacular pen but it's a fine pen it's got a nice little fine tip there does everything you'd think a pen would do and the other side here has a rubberized capacitive stylus tip that works just like last year's now if anyone hasn't used a capacitive stylus before you might be a little thrown by the fact that it doesn't come to a sharp tip it kind of replicates what your finger does and it has a soft touch but it doesn't have any pressure sensitivity because there is no pressure sensitivity on styli using the iPad unlike what you'd see on the samsung galaxy note but still use the wacom stylus and you'll find that that soft touch gives a lot more flexibility at least for me then my finger does although you'll notice that there's a little bit of a delay in most apps that's not quite like what you would have when you put a pen to paper keep the cap off and I think it's a little too short for as a pen but if you put that cap on the back it feels perfect now what's the appeal of having a pen in the Styles together it's one less thing to carry in your bag I mean when you get your keyboard your case your shammy your stylist it gets to be a lot of accessories for a device that was supposed to be pure and minimal and have no accessories that was the whole life dia behind the ipad in the first place but if you're an artist and if you find yourself using a lot of the great sketch apps that around the ipad already like paper and and all these other programs then you might find yourself really gained kick out of using one of these style light and remember this is not just for the ipad it's for any capacitive tablet or even something like a smartphone you could use this on an android phone you could use on an iphone you could use on an android tablet as long as it's got that capacitive touch interface then this will work just fine i'm scott stein and that's a look at the Wacom Bamboo Stylus duo
