5.0 out of 5 stars What a stylus should be..., March 21, 2001

This is what a stylus should be. After all, one of the key features of a PDA is the graffiti function which is difficult to master with the original stylus. It was not until I was able to get the feel of a regular sized pen (which is what the Platinum Pen Dual Action PDA Stylus is) that I was able to not only master the letters and numbers on the graffiti tablet, but also the punctuations. If you use a pocket sized case for your PDA, you probably will not be able to fit this stylus into the stylus holder, however larger cases usually come with pen holder slots (it will fit there just fine). If you are accustomed to putting your pen in your shirt pocket and want the feel of a regular pen then this product is for you. If you are looking for something to keep with your PDA (case) and then slip into your back trouser pocket then this may not be what you are looking for.

This Pen/Stylus is FULL size. The editor made a mistake by calling it slim design. This is a very nice combo. I would highly recommend it to people who are constantly switching between ink and stylus. It was a perfect pen for me.

Now for the review. The weight is about the same a normal Parker/Cross pen. The ink is no way the same. Don't get me wrong, the ink is good but, it doesn't compare to those of a higher class. With a simple, and I do mean simple twist, the stylus appears. Excellent mechanical design. Platinum Pen Company put a lifetime guarantee on it. (Under normal condition)

The stylus is probably one of the best on the market. Add that with the weight and feel of a real pen, I am now cruising along on my Palm Graffti. I was good before, now I am better.

The rubber cushion a nice when you are writing for a long time. I have a Dooney and Burke pad for my Palm. The cushion is kinda big for the pen loop, but it will fit with a little push.

Very nice Pen/Stylus combo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, the way a stylus should feel, January 15, 2001

This was a wonderful purchase. I considered many different ones, but this was what looked the nicest and had exactly what I needed-a pen and stylus that feels like a pen (because it is one!). It also has a very nice feel on the touch screen, a much more substantial tap than a flimsy plastic stylus. If you use a stylus for any length of time, you will really appreciate the comfort of the full-sized pen. True, it does not fit in the stylus slot (I keep the original stylus in place in case I'm ever without my pen), but I knew that when I bought it and it was what I wanted. It fits well in my zipper case, easily accessed. It also has a pocket clip. I am very, very happy with it--even better, it's a great price!
