So, if you’re looking to get your S Pen on (and have a supported device), hit the source.

Most of us own at least one single touchscreen device these days, be it the smartphone or the tablet. Needless to say, the thing that we use to “write” and “draw” stuff on our tablet or smartphone tends to be our own finger. After all, what is more natural or easy to do, right? Well, it seems that some folks who prefer to be more sophisticated in their own viewpoint have decided to fall on the use of a stylus. I remember the older school stylus that arrived with early generations of Palm devices, those were functional at best. Well, Evernote and Adonit has joined forces to deliver something that is far more modern – namely the Jot Script Evernote Edition Stylus. What makes the Jot Script Evernote Edition Stylus so special? For starters, it claims to be the “smallest stylus tip on the market” with a measurement of just 1.9mm.
The Jot Script will work with Adonit’s new Pixelpoint technology and Penultimate, Evernote’s award-winning handwriting application, so that handwritten notes are able to flow as freely as your thoughts without missing a beat. This particular stylus was specially designed by Adonit in order to feel like your favorite pen, where it features a refined metal finish, a ribbed grip, a fine point, and weighted hand balance which will reflect the quality which Adonit styluses are famous for.
Kris Perpich, CXO at Adonit, said, “Adonit developed Jot Script to be the ideal stylus for taking notes. We’ve stripped everything away so you can just focus on capturing your ideas. We partnered with Penultimate to focus on a deep integration of Jot Script into a great note taking experience. Our collaboration allowed us to step back and rethink the ideal digital note taking experience. It’s going to bring back the lost art of handwriting.”
The Jot Script will run on an AAA lithium battery, and it hooks up sans wires to Penultimate via Bluetooth 4.0. The asking price for the Jot Script Stylus Evernote Edition? $74.95 a pop.

Adobe first unveiled these unique and strange […]
When Adobe unveiled its first attempt at building hardware tools—a stylus called Project Mighty and a digital ruler called Project Napoleon—last April, the company was careful to describe the devices as experimental projects, dancing around whether we’d ever be able to, you know, buy them. But today, Mighty and Napoleon are real: Adobe has announced that both devices will likely ship in early 2014.

When it comes to digitizer tablets, the name Wacom would surely resonate with many of us, especially artists who have taken to the stylus like a duck to water, instead of relying on the traditional pencil and paper methods. Having said that, Wacom has a couple of new Bamboo styli for you to consider – the Bamboo Stylus solo and Bamboo Stylus duo. Both of these will arrive as second-generation and improved versions of the popular range of digital styli which was originally rolled out back in 2011. The Bamboo Stylus solo happens to come across as a stylus that will cater for touchscreen devices such as the iPad, where it sports a protective cap for the rubber nib this time around. As for the Bamboo Stylus duo, this is a two-in-one solution that comes with not only a stylus for touchscreen displays, but also caters for those unexpected moments when your John Hancock is required, hence a ballpoint pen function is also thrown into the mix for good measure.
Both the Bamboo Stylus solo and Bamboo Stylus duo have been described to offer a best-in-class pen-like experience, sporting an elegant, premium design. Your eyes will definitely be taken in by the soft touch paint located on the barrel as well as the color-coordinated, polished anodized aluminium cap that will set these styli apart from the rest that you can find in the market. Wacom knows that everyone has different tastes, which is why they have launched either version to arrive in a slew of colors to fit just about any mood, while maintaining a black and a white version for those more serious moments.
Not only that, your writing and drawing experience should also go up by a notch, as it comes with an even slimmer rubber nib that measures just 5mm, with the body of the stylus feeling solid and balanced in hand. Those who are interested in the second-generation Bamboo Stylus solo and Bamboo Stylus duo will have to fork out $19 and $29, respectively, as they arrive to the market later next month.

iSketchnote has hit Kickstarter with an interesting take on the sketch digitizing game. Rather than drawing straight onto the screen of your tablet with a stylus, Galaxy Note or Wacom style, its iPad cover digitizer lets you draw in ink with a “natural pen” onto any notebook or paper. A sensor matrix detects your scrawls and even color thanks to a magnet in the pen, and the drawings appear on your iPad screen with about 50ms of latency. Thanks to a built-in SD card slot, you’ll also be able to take the cover on the road without the iPad (4GB will hold about 100 pages). When it ships around May 2014, it’ll just work with an iPad, but the developers say you’ll eventually be able to digitize to a Mac or PC with a free software update. iSketchnote’s already zoomed past its $35,000 Kickstarter goal, having bagged around $50,000 with 29 days left. If you want to grab one along with three pens, its $119 for early birds at the source.
