StylusCentral Duo Stylus/Pen with Laser Pointer
July 22, 2003
Let’s start with the basics. This is a full-size stylus, meaning that it won’t fit in the silo of your device. It’s just about the same size as your standard pen, at five and one half inches. It’s made of metal, so it has a very nice “heft” to it. I personally prefer this sort of design to plastic styli, but you may have a different preference. It features a concave grip for more comfortable use, as well as a metal clip so that you can attach it to your pocket. It functions as both a stylus and a pen; simply choose the one you want by twisting the grip either clockwise or counterclockwise. The stylus tip is yellow for great visibility, but alas, is not spring-loaded. The pen is a standard refillable ballpoint.
If you’ve examined the picture closely, you may be wondering what that tiny little button is for at the side of the clip. Press it in, and you’ll find that it activates a laser pointer cleverly hidden at the top of the pen. While this may not have a lot of practical use unless you’re in the business world and have to do a lot of Powerpoint presentations, it certainly is a nice extra. All in all I think that this particular stylus would be a good choice for anyone who wants the ease and comfort of using a full-size stylus. You may not want to carry it all the time, since it won’t fit inside your device, but it’s perfect to keep in your pocket or just leave it at your desk. If you’re trying to do a good deal of writing on your handheld, you’ll certainly appreciate it.
Especially when we talk about the price. Ordinarily this stylus will retail for $24.99. But it will be available for an introductory price of only $9.99 until October! That’s definitely an incredible value that shouldn’t be passed up. This would be a great gift for any handheld enthusiast. It may be hotter than blazes right now, but Christmas is coming, and so are birthdays and other gift-giving ocassions. Stock up now at the StylusCentral web site.
