I got these simply for the rosean that they are purple/pink. I love the color, but the stylus just doesn't work as well as others I've used. It's too soft on the tip, or something it just doesn't work as well. They seem about the same size and type as one I have that works quite well (it's silver in color and has a thing at the end that plugs into the headphone jack on the iPad so you don't lose it). I'm not sure what benefit the cable tie is that comes with them I'd WAY rather have them include the little things to plug into the headphone jack!

That's the American Way. Ruin it. Add code to an OEM's app to cripple it and teethr it to a FEE. Shameless, usurous, predatory unreguatd American Capitalism at it's finest. Totally wrecked the embedded 3G market before it hardly got off the ground, teethring fees out the whazoo, stingy caps, high rates now this PlayBook teethring crap from AT&T.When I read about how different carrier tarriffs are in Assia and Europe it just sickens me how putridly predatory the American wireless industry is in comparison. Americans need to become aware of just how different and consumer fiendly things are elsewhere so they can open their eyes and stop being innocent naieve fodder for American corporate avarice and greed.
