Your Stylus is
the interface between your hand and the screen and your
method of moving around in your PDA. If you are
not using one of the new plug in keyboards with your
Palm or Pocket PC then there is no getting away from
using the Stylus. The Stylus that comes with your
PDA will wear out over time, with the tips rounding off
or developing sharp edges that could mark up your
screen.
Replacement
styluses can be found from Original Equipment
Manufacturers or from after market companies and usually
come in packages of 3. This is handy since it is
also very easy to misplace the
stylus.
If you find
the stylus that came with your Palm or Pocket PC to feel
too much like a toothpick then you may want look at some
the new more substantial models available. Or you may
opt for one of the Dual Mode (combination pen and
stylus) models. These feel very nice in your hand
and are very convenient if you switch back and forth
between paper and PDA a lot.
There are
custom styluses with stylus tip in one end and a pen in
the other, styluses with built in lights or laser
pointers for use during a presentation or standard
styluses that fit into the silo on the side of your Palm
or Pocket PC but regardless of what type of stylus you
choose you should also install a screen protector to
reduce the chance of scratching the screen of your
PDA. The stylus manufacturers state that their
stylus will scratch the screen but why take a chance
with your investment for the sake of a few bucks for a
screen
protector.
