Digital Pen for the thrifty-minded: The Pogo Sketch

The digital pen market hasn’t really hit its stride as of yet, as the translation from writing with the pen to digital has never really been the smoothest, it’s often pricey, and is still evolving as a viable format really.

Perhaps until now: The company Ten One Design has created the Pogo Sketch stylus, which isn’t really a digital pen, but is designed to be used with touch screen devices, and costs quite a bit less than any of its competitors.

The Pogo Sketch seems to mostly be aimed at Mac products, and the company claims that it is compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch lines. It also works on the trackpads that are on MacBooks. It could work with PC items as well, conceivably, but it isn’t being marketed in that direction.

The company also stresses that the Pogo Sketch is a low-priced alternative to electronic tablets like the ones made from Wacom. Sure, you could use a fancy expensive drawing tablet, but why spend all that money when you can purchase this low-priced pen? And we’re talking about $14.95, which is pretty inexpensive for this sort of thing.
