Drawing on the iPad See how these 12 compare to other styluses: Check out our in-depth iOS stylus charts. Steve Jobs may hate the idea of using a stylus on his touchscreen devices, but the fact remains that some consumers simply prefer an intermediary accessory for interaction. Whether it’s too cold outside for direct contact, you’re worried about touchscreen germs, or you need a sketching tool, sometimes a stylus can be a good thing. Accessory manufacturers seem to agree, having produced a plethora of styluses for Apple’s iOS devices. As some people know, in my not-so-secret other life, I enjoy drawing cartoons. Since I bought my first iPad back in April 2010, I’ve been using the device for quite a bit of my scribbling and coloring—most of that with Ten One Design's Pogo Sketch. Note that, as of yet, Apple does not provide access to software APIs that might allow for pressure sensitivity on the iPad.

The Verge Apple Rumors: The MacBook Pro Shrinks, iPad And iPhone Grow I suspect we’ll have to start picking and choosing our Apple rumor posts carefully in the coming months as the speculations begin flying fast and free, but until then a bit of gossip portending the next year’s changes won’t hurt anybody. iLounge is hawking some intel from their “most reliable source,” who claims to have the inside scoop on Apple’s upcoming revisions. It’s nothing mind-blowing, but it might be enough to make you unconsciously start saving money. The MacBook Pro redesign we’ve heard about before. Other sources have it rolling out in March, but supply line data is unreliable unless bulk orders are indicated. Most interesting to me personally is the report that the iPad will be a little thicker, in order to allow for the extra lighting necessitated by the high-resolution screen I’ve been crowing about at every opportunity for almost a year now. More suspicious is the report that the iPhone will be getting a size bump to a 4″ screen, making the device as a whole 8mm longer.

On My iPad I commented on Twitter recently: You know what? There are some really, really great iOS apps out there. A few people seemed keen to hear more. This post is about the apps I use on my iPad. Let's start with the dock: SafariMailCalendarEvernoteNoteshelfTwitterrific I've had an Evernote account since forever but it's only since iOS 5 shipped that I really started using it in earnest. Noteshelf is a new addition to the dock. Twitterrific is the only iOS Twitter client I've been able to live with. Page One Here's my home screen from top left to bottom right. Flipboard Flipboard is another app like Evernote that I've had around for ages but it's only recently clicked. Instapaper What else is there to say about Instapaper? iBooks I don't buy a lot of books from Apple but, until now, iBooks has been my PDF reader of choice. Kindle I buy all my eBooks in the Kindle system - because I have a hardware Kindle too. Messages OmniFocus I loves me some OmniFocus. Dropbox My life is in Dropbox. WeatherPro HD Day One
