iPhone Accessory: Pogo Stylus claims to do away with Awkward Typos

It is not very often that I write about an iPhone accessory, however this one did get my attention and thought you folks might be interested in checking it out.

The iPhone accessory is the Pogo Stylus from Ten One Design which features an ultra-light aluminum body with an anodized finish and laser graphics and sized for accuracy which Ten One design claims does away with the awkward typos and misfires common when you use fingers.

Okay, so if you are wondering why would anyone be buying this accessory when iPhone's multi-touch interface is considered revolutionary then you are quite right in a way. In fact, when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone way back in January this year this is what he had to say:

“We are all born with the ultimate pointing device—our fingers—and iPhone uses them to create the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse.”

I agree and hence think the market for this iPhone accessory might not be very big, but it does try to address one of issues with iPhone's revolutionary multi-touch interface is that while it does amaze you on how well it works with your fingers; you would have noticed as an iPhone owner that it doesn't work efficiently with all applications.

For example: it works very well to navigate and while using iPhone's Music and Video Applications, however you are prone to typos when you use its keyboard especially when you use it vertically.

Pogo Stylus is trying to address this with the following features:
1. Ultra-light aluminum body with an anodized finish and laser graphics
2. The foam tip is soft and conforms cleanly and precisely to the multi-touch screen.
3. It is Sized for accuracy.
4. It helps keep the screen free of smudges and grease which you are prone to when you use fingers.
5. Designed to firmly hug the contours of the iPhone and iPod touch, the Pogo Stylus travel clip will keep your accessory secure and close at hand.

The Pogo Stylus will set you back by $24.95.

I haven't tried this out, but based on the above features do think that it is worth checking out the demo especially if your experience with iPhone's software keyboard has been plagued with typos and hence frustation.

One of the reasons why I personally don't like stylus (and the advantage of being able to use fingers) is I just don't like the idea of worrying about another thing to carry with my phone and the other reason being most of the stylus that I have tried out so far are just to awkward to use.

Anyways, in case you do plan to check it out do let us know your thoughts in the comments below for benefit of fellow readers.
