Review: ADEMAS DE SER UTIL PARA TU VISOR, TIENES UNA PLUMA

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun and functional!
Review: I've been craving a pen/stylus that would fit into my Visor for a while. I almost never go anywhere without my Visor, and I usually don't need a pen because I use the Visor instead, but when I do need a pen, I realized that it would be really convenient to have one built into the stylus.

I bought another brand first, one that supposedly worked with both Palms and Visors. I should have known better. The designs of Palms and Visors are different enough that the stylus in question went INTO the stylus slot on my Visor, but it was incredibly difficult to pick it out again. I returned it to the store.

I found this Handspring-specific stylus/pen online, and decided to take a chance on it. Overall, it works nicely. It does have a few downsides, though. When you insert it into the stylus slot, if feels loose going in, which is a little unnerving. However, after weeks of use, including a trip to Taiwan and back, I had no problems with the stylus actually sliding out. Another minor drawback is that this stylus/pen is actually lighter than the regular stylus that comes with the Visor. So at first it feels a little funny in your hand. However, I've gotten over that almost completely. Finally, there is no way to replace the ink cartridge, so when it's out of ink, you have to either chuck it, or just use it as a regular stylus.

Still, I recommend this to anyone who would really enjoy the convenience of having a pen for occasional use built into their stylus. One particularly nice feature is that the cap of the pen can be placed on the top of the stylus (notice the nub on the top in the picture?) so you don't lose it while you're writing.
