Pick the Correct Stylus for Your Phone
Using iPhone is rather easy and convenient: no more styluses as everything can be done with bare fingers. Glide across the glass screen to activate the menu, flick to view pictures and double tap to zoom in or zoom out. Yet, there are times when users want to give their fingers a break but soon got frustrated because the device could not recognize a usual stylus pen, which may work perfectly well with other PDAs or touchscreen phones. And here comes the question: What should we look for when getting a stylus and how is it different for iPhone and non-iPhone users?
The element that makes iPhone different is its capacitive screen, which reacts to finger movements by sensing electrical currents around the finger instead of pressure points. This means a usual stylus, or fingernail, will not work with iPhone since operating the device does not require pressure but touch. Therefore, if you need an iPhone stylus, you have to get one that is specifically designed for the device to make sure it works.
On the contrary, most of today’s touchscreen phones, such as HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Diamond and Samsung Instinct, apply the most common touch-resistive screen. Made of two layers of glass or plastic, the screen detects and determines the pressure points for operation. You can easily do it with your finger, bare or gloved, or any stylus pen.
In fact, not only should iPhone users pay extra attention to pick the correct iPhone stylus, but users of other touchscreen phones should also make their choices carefully since there are countless choices out there. Here are some of the common ones on the market.
4-in-1 PDA Stylus Pen
The 4-in-1 PDA Stylus Pen combines four different writing tools: a sensitive stylus tip, a 0.5mm mechanical pencil and two ballpoint pens, one in black and one in red. While the stylus can work with any PDA touchscreen devices, the other three can be used to write or jot notes when needed.
Bluetooth Stylus Pen
The Bluetooth Stylus Pen is a hands-free device that can fulfill both purposes of a stylus pen and a Bluetooth headset. Besides serving as a PDA stylus that works with all Bluetooth-enabled PDAs and cell phones, it is also a Bluetooth headset with a built-in speaker and microphone.
Universal Retractable Stylus Pen
This universal retractable stylus pen, being retractable, can be extended to a more comfortable length to fit the user and is compatible with all PDAs and PDA phones. It also comes with a little strap, so users can attach it to their PDA devices.
Finger Stylus
Made of soft plastic, Finger Stylus can work with all kinds of touchscreen devices including PDAs, PDA phones, GPS or point-of-sale (POS) systems. While wearing the Finger Stylus, users can simply use their fingers to tap the screen for convenience instead of holding a stylus pen. The soft plastic tip can also prevent accidental scratches on the screen.
