I was at the mall today and went into Sharon Luggage and came accross a little gem. The Tornado Data Pen from Retro 51 - http://www.retro51.com . I paid $19.95 but after I got back I found them online for about $17. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere so I figure I would write a mini-review.
The Data Pen has a standard pen and a stylus in a package that is about 4.25" long and has a .5" diameter. You turn the top to one side and the pen comes out, turn to the other and you get the stylus. I thought the stylus was a little too pointy at first (I use plain vinyl screen protectors and it was leaving big indentations when I wrote accross the screen). I decided to sand down the point a little with some ulta-fine sandpaper and then the point was just how I like it. After playing with the pen for a little while I found that I could hook it into my EB Slipper's IR cutout and have a nice pen and stylus with me all of the time. At first I thought I could hook it to the top of the flap where it folds but it I just didn't like it there, I also tried to hook at the top of the case right next to my visor but it scratched the plastic of my Visor when I took it out. For some reason it does not scratch the Visor when I put it in the IR cutout.
I took a few photos that help illustrate what I am talking about if you are interested in checking them out. Go to http://home.earthlink.net/~nohair/tornado/ Sorry if they are a little dark, all of that black was playing havoc with my camera.
All of the standard disclaimers apply. I have no affiliation, just though this was a cool little stylus.
