I’ve tried lots and lots and lots stylii (styluses?) over the years. From some of the original Pogo Sketch models (which I still keep as backup) to the new brush-like models like the BRVSH and I have had some favs (like the Pogo Sketch Pro, which I wore out—or my nephew chewed through), but all of them have been lacking a bit. Some don’t have the right heft, some don’t have a pen clip, others don’t have tips that aren’t precise or responsive, essentially I was still seeking the best yet. When I saw the HAND Stylus on Kickstarter I backed it right away. A retractible nib that even rotates a little bit as you retract it so the tip wears evenly. Precision-made aluminum body like a good mechanical pencil. Pen clip that works with the iPad Smart Cover. It seemed perfect. It took a long, long while to get to me, but it was certainly worth the wait.

iPad Mini Could Cannibalise Bigger iPad Sales By Up To 20 Percent: Analysts
Apple is known to not let the possibility of cannibalisation of its own products come in the way of bringing out new, and on many occasions radically different products to the market. The MacBook Air cannibalised the sales of traditional desktops and notebooks, the iPad cannibalised sales of Macs and so on.
Analysts have now started adjusting their iPad sales estimates, taking into account the imminent iPad mini release. According to their estimates, the smaller device would no doubt sell in great numbers during the holiday season, but it won’t carve the entire market without affecting the 9.7″ iPad’s sales numbers.
