Hi, well, I just received the Jot today. I played with it for about 10 minutes before having to go out but so far I really like it. I have tried several others and my favorite by far has been the Boxwave. The Jot is completely different. It really is like writing with a pen. The barrel seems a little thick to hold and I'm not sure why it needs to be like that, but it is not so thick as to be bothersome. I love the screw off top (although figuring out how to get it out of the packaging was a bit of a challenge - the packaging overall seemed like someone had done it in a hurry in the dark!). The little plastic disk is a little strange at first, when you write with it, you can't quite figure out why it's there. But overall it works really nicely. It is very precision oriented and is smooth and fun to write with. The one thing that takes a bit of getting used to is the "noise" it makes when you write with it, not an ongoing noise, but noise like when you use a piece of chalk on a chalk board, each time you touch the board, it makes a "clunk" sound. With a rubber tip implement, there is no sound. So writing a great deal of text is a bit noisy, hard to explain. Again, not that big of a deal but just a little different compared to the "quiet" of the Boxwave. I think the Jot will be really nice for meetings as long as it doesn't end up being too noisy from the touching of the pen to the screen. Oh, also, I wouldn't want to use this without a screen protector. Although I have no evidence of this yet, it seems like the little disk might or could scratch the screen, I could be wrong, but that is the initial feeling you get. I hope this is helpful. As I play with it over the next several days I can provide more feedback. But overall I really like the way it interacts with the iPad.
As far as the compliment. Thank you very much. That's really me. It's a backyard photo from last fall. Thank you for the kind words.
