Would an IPad user use a stylus?

[ossaguy]

My sister just bought herself an IPad,and when I saw the new stylus pens in the new PSI catalog tonight I was wondering about making her one for Christmas.

So do you think she would use one,or are you just supposed to tap your finger?

I've never used one,so I just don't know.If I ask her,it wouldn't be a surprise.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Yes, that is one of the devices the stylus kits were designed for.

My fingers don't work on my I phone or I pad, but a stylus works great. It doesn't work on my wife's I ron though

I have one, as does my wife, and we never use ours. That said, I know a few people who only seem to use their stylus...i think it comes down to a personal preference and what the person uses their iPad for. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

The feedback from the ones I have sold is that they are used mostly when the program calls for writing words. Other than that, they still use their finger. They found that taking notes etc was easier with the stylus.

Yes an Ipad user will, I sold one to a girl carrying an Ipad at the show we're doing, I even sold a Pen / Stylus combination that Andrew made to a guy with big clumsy fingers like mine.
We sold 3 Styli yesterday and it is a SLOW show.

One good case for using a stylus, is women with long nails.

I have sold a bunch of them, so they seem to be well accepted. +1 on the note taking and the ladies with nails.

Thanks again,
Steve

I've been watching iPad usage at work. They've become the "in" thing to pull out at meetings. I remember when it was Palm Pilots. People claim they are taking notes with them, but if you look over their shoulders they are fooling around with everthing else because they are bored with the meeting.

What needs to happen is make the stylus a cool thing also. If stylus become cool you won't be able to make enough of them. Apple devices are all about being cool.

I make a cool stylus/pen combo. At the show we did last weekend, we sold 40 of them. The reason we only sold 40 is because that is all I took. Those sold before noon on the first day of the show.

This is what I found out when a co-worker bought one for his wife, who has long nails.

Been turning about 2 months. I have sold 21 pens to date. 19 have been stylus pen combos. Then again I work in Information Technology :biggrin:

I use one "most" of the time on the ipad. My wife always uses the stylus.

Another yes, the wife finds her's to be the 'cat-meow'.....



I've tried using one on the iPhone, waste of time for me. But I guess if your needing signatures for CC or something, it would be required.

What price point are you selling these at?

 

[jrc]

I have an iPad but only use a stylus with the bamboo and artrage app. 2 great apps everyone with an IPad should check out.

Having read a post about walgreens styli, I wandered into the local Walgreens to take a look for myself. I couldn't find one. Where in your store do they stock these?
