iPad Stylus - Ten One Design Pogo Stylus for iPhone

This post is a continuation of my search for an iPad stylus that would be a good fit for elementary age students.  My school is conducting an iPad pilot and we are researching different apps, accessories, and configurations that help us use and deploy the iPads effectively and efficiently. Over the next few posts I will be discussing the styluses I have looked at and tried.  Most of the products I am reviewing are new to me and have not been tested over the long haul of the school year. Therefore I am just giving my initial thoughts and feelings on these products.  In most cases these products were bought from Amazon and I have tried to provide links to each item.

Initial Thoughts

The POGO stylus is a nice compact stylus meant for the iPhone and iPod Touch.  The over all length is very short for extended use and was too small for my hands.  The width is small as well, about a quarter of an inch.  The POGO does come with a clip for the iPhone 3/3GS.  One of the unique things about the POGO is the nib.  The nib is textured rubber material that almost looks like styrofoam but is squishy and flattens down the harder you press on the screen.  The POGO is a good stylus for those who are looking for a small stylus for infrequent use.  I can imagine students losing the stylus  within the first day of use though due to its small size.
