Stylus with Touch Devices Primer Tutorial
Are you a tablet or mobile phone user whose index finger of your favoured hand is suffering mightily?! Then this tutorial may be of interest.
We’ve avoided the idea for a long while of introducing a “stylus” into the mix of use with our iPad and/or iPhone (ie. works with touch devices). The brand we chose was Targus and their “slim stylus” for $12 (Australian dollars).
As you can see from today’s animated GIF presentation it is not only the tapping of icons that the stylus can help with, but “scribble” type drawing and signature functionality it can excel at.
We’ve found that using the stylus we move around the tablet or mobile phone quicker and more accurately than with our finger tap and touch work.
