One of the nice things about having an iPhone is not having to carry around a Stylus. There are times, though, that I wish I had one. Things like drawing are much easier with a Stylus, since my fingers are just too big. Have you ever wanted a Stylus for your iPhone? I reviewed another Stylus recently, and wasn’t very impressed with it. This Pogo Stylus is available from ThinkGeek, and works very well!

In case you haven’t noticed the iPhone’s glassy touch sensitive screen is only sensitive to your stubby little fingers. This is because it uses a technology called capacitive touch which measures the flow of electrons through your skin. Problem is, last time we checked our fingers were pretty rounded and not too precise at picking out tiny URLs in Safari. Luckily the geniuses behind the Pogo iPhone Stylus have magically solved this problem by making a stylus that somehow tricks the iPhone into thinking it’s really a finger. What’s more, the tip of the stylus is a soft felt like material that has the added benefit of keeping your screen clean while you tap away. How do they do it? Frankly we’re not sure, but hopefully it doesn’t involve grave-robbing.

I’ve been using this for a few days now, and have had very few “mis-clicks” with it. It just works, and I love it. It has a really soft tip, which keeps your screen clean and protected. It makes drawing just so much easier. If you have fat fingers like I do, drawing on the iPhone doesn’t work out so well. The Stylus works with both the iPhone, and the iPod Touch. In Safari, if I want to click a link, the iPhone won’t always register the click I try to do with my finger. With the Stylus, the links click right off the bat.

What other iPhone accessories do you use and love that I haven’t tried yet? Be sure to let me know about them so I can share them with the World.
