Reddit reviews Wacom Bamboo Stylus for iPadTablets - CS100K

iStudiez is awesome. I really don't use it to it's full capability but I can't find anything else that keeps my class schedule so neat and organized.

For the stylus, I really liked the Wacom Bamboo for iPad. The tip is supposed to be a bit smaller and it does write and move very smoothly.

Now a question. Why Notebooks for iPad? What other apps did you try? I'm just curious because I've had this on my Appshopper wishlist forever. Currently I use Notability for the same reasons you listed for liking Notebooks (formatting, bullet points) so just wondering what else in particular drew you to this app?

I had one of those pens and used it for years until I discovered Noteshelf. It was useful in that it synched with Evernote (which I no longer use).

These are my go to applications for work now:

• For note taking I use Noteshelf almost exclusively now.
  
• PDF annotation I use Goodreader, but I'm thinking of checking out iAnnotate
  
• For OCR scanning I use Scanner Pro
  
• For tasks I use Do It (Tomorrow) HD
  
• For simple text documents I'm still deciding between Byword and iA Writer
  
• For word processing I use Pages
  
• For quick white board sketches I use Adobe Autodesk SketchBook. Yeah it's overkill, but I can whip out a quick and dirty diagram on this and it's actually cheap.
  
• For more formal tech diagrams I use TouchDraw
  
  I don't know if he uses a Mac desktop or not, but if so, this is the ultimate document/information/everything management platform:

  For a stylus, I cannot recommend the Wacom Bamboo stylus enough. It has the right heft and weight of a premium pen and the nib glides over the screen. As a bonus the nibs are completely replaceable as they wear out. I recommend ordering the replacements from Wacom directly. While it may take longer to ship, it's only 25% the cost resellers are charging on Amazon.

I have a wacom bamboo stylus. It works well and feels good in my hand. Im no art major, but I was able to draw some neat things with it like casper and this guy with it. Don't pay more than $30 for it though, I just saw they raised their prices

1. There are several types of digitizers. Wacom, N-Trig, Capacitive, and supposedly Synaptics on the new dell venue 8 pro. I'm not too familiar as to the actual definition of digitizer, but from what I know, there is another screen within the Wacom and N-Trig tablets allowing for better accuracy from the stylus and pressure detection. Capacitive is your standard tablet. Just touch screen, and you do have the option of getting a rubber ended stylus to try to write. However, it is nowhere near the technology of the Wacom and N-Trig.
   
   
2. Capacitive is simply touch screen. As I have said before, you do have the option of buying a rubber domed stylus for the capacitive. A capacitive tablet won't be able to use the stylus from a Wacom tablet. Your tablet is a capacitive tablet.
   
   
3. I'd say that note taking isn't that bad. People usually buy wacom enabled tablets for photoshop and note taking. If you find that the Asus t100 is decent with it's capacitive screen, then it shouldn't be a problem.
   
   
4. If you're looking for a capacitive stylus, you might want to check out these:

This is the stylus I use. I like it because it fits in the little loop on the front of my case and it has replaceable nibs. My gf bought me one of those long Brookstone ones but I never carried it around because it didn't fit. That's probably the only reason I wouldn't consider that one. Looks nice otherwise

I recommend buying extra tips as I burned through a few when I first started, like $10 for a pack of three? I got better over time but at first I was learning the friction and grip needed, now it's smoother. #musclememory

Right now I'm looking at: Smart Writing Tool - 7notes HD for the app and http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-iPad-Black-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6 for the stylus. Are there better picks out there?

The Bamboo stylus for iPad is by far the best I've seen. Here's the Amazon link! I've tried a few, and nothing feels as natural as this one.

This is the stylus I have (just a normal kind): http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Solo-Stylus-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

Yes, I zoom in for the coastline as much as it will allow - 3000% - and I use a pencil tool anywhere from a radius of .25 to .5.

Started using an iPad my second year (middle of second week!). So far I'm using Goodreader to annotate PDFs (which you can sync to dropbox). Dropbox for easy access to notes. I used Splashtop (remote access to PC) to use a program on my laptop. I'm still getting used to it... make sure you play around and practice with it before school starts. Because I downloaded the apps, made sure I knew how to open files with it... but then I never actually practiced taking notes on it... so I spent one hour of lecture trying to figure it out... gave up and just ended up handwriting notes on my syllabus for the rest of the day.

I also bought a Logitech keyboard. It's not full size but it's easy to adapt to. I also bought a stylus, which is sort of helpful. You really can't write out nice, neat notes on iPad (which is why I stick to typing), but I like to use it instead of my finger.

I also downloaded PenUltimate and bought an Office application, but I haven't really used those.

Also, Scramble. Draw Something. ;) Also Kindle.

I had bought a Monteverde mainly because I needed a ball point pen as well as a stylus. Great pen; not so great stylus.
I just picked up a Wacom Bamboo and I must say its reputation is up held. The hands down best stylus on the market.
Also don't forget to install TouchScreen Tune if you are going to be using your TF201 with a stylus much.
If you plan to do a lot of note taking I would however suggest the keyboard.

@FelixR1911 - You need a powered usb hub. The micro usb port doesn't have enough power to do much more than a small thumb drive. I bought this http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micro-USB-OTG-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_z to cover the fact that it doesn't have a usb port...and that small device gets bonus points for working on my nexus 7. I can plug this into my vivo tab smart then plug in my nexus 7 and put files on it like a normal android device.

I use a wacom pen http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376960389&sr=1-1&keywords=bamboo+stylus+solo

I use this on my razr maxx: http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

It works great, I mainly bought it to use on my transformer but works fine on the razr as well.

>Back when I used it last, I don't think it had much handwriting support outside of diagrams (this is okay for me... I hate handwriting on the iPad).

Have you checked out the wacom bamboo pen?

Wacom does make a bamboo stylus for capacitive displays (called Bamboo Stylus for iPad). I use one with my xoom, and it works great.

http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Stylus-for-iPad-CS100K/dp/B004VM0SE6

The tip is replaceable, if you can find some, I ordered 3 replacement tips directly from Wacom a while back, but I don't have the link to it right now.

I use a Bamboo Stylus made by Wacom Tech. It costs but it is one of the best. http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Corp-Bamboo-Stylus-Tablets/dp/B004VM0SE6
