I ended up picking up a Targus stylus from Best Buy based on some reviews here and so far I have mixed emotions. I do like the thought of not having fingerprints on the screen, and I enjoy how its more accurate while hitting something small like page numbers on a forum.
That being said, I dont enjoy it for scrolling vertically while browsing (vs fingers) and I feel that I move a lot quicker using fingertips/both hands while browsing and of course typing. For $15 its not a bad buy, but Im not sure whether I will continue with it or not.
Ill give it a few more days of use, but so far as a person who uses their iPad mostly for browsing, videos, etc. Im at times finding it more of a hindrance than an aid.
Regardless, thanks all for posting your opinions! FWIW Im loving life with a tablet!
Not all stylus pens are alike. And neither are the applications that you are using it with. I have learned that after extensive research and 3 different pens. I’ve tried Acase, Bamboo, and Boxwave. There is also another one that I helped fund (through the kickstarter website) that is called Jot, and that should be arriving in a few days.
So far, Boxwave Capacitive Stylus performs beautifully for me. I have tested this on both Penultimate and Notes Plus. It may take a little bit of time for you to get used to the feel of writing with it, but to me it was worth it. I now don’t have to keep up with so many notebooks I use for meetings and it allows for better organization.
I will post my thoughts on the Jot once it arrives. I was interested in it because it has more of a ballpoint tip unlike the other capacitive stylus pens.

Just to note, be careful buying from retail stores, they are horridly expensive there. I’d stick to sites like
Amazon. That way you can test out what pens works best for you and not be too much of a cost to invest in.
And when u do get the right one. Purchase 2 of them... One for home and the other for at work/travel/etc.
