Adonit Jot Script For Android?
Hello. I wonder if there is any alternative to Adonit Jot Script For Android. As far as I know, the stylus only works with IOS.. I don't want a stylus with a rubber end to draw with. Any suggestions for an good stylus?
Which stylus is better for drawing on an iPad (sketching and illustrating), Pencil by 53 or Adonit Jot Touch?
I've used Pencil, but not Adonit. I can tell you definitively to avoid the Wacom Bamboo Fineline: it's absolute garbage, and expensive garbage at that. I'm not the only one who says so ( fineline reviews) but because I got burned, I'm saying it a lot.)I've used Pencil but do not own it. Although I don't like at all the feel of the large "carpenter's" style pencil, as far as registration with the drawing surface goes, it's probably the best I've tried. I just wish they made it a standard, round and slim in size so it could be drawn with more easily.I've tried the JaJa with a Teflon tip and found it a bit frustrating, too. I look forward to hearing what others have to say here. As part of my job, I do professional illustration, so many flaws in a stylus will bother me whereas someone using the product for note-taking won't have as many issues.If the registration is off by even a fifth of an inch (the Fineline was off by like 1/4 to 1/3, which is ridiculous) it is incredibly frustrating (impossible, really) to try and draw with it. With a stylus like the JaJa, where there is a little weird disc obscuring the line as you make it (this disc is essential, too, as that piece is what helps to calibrate it), it's maddening. Again, for note-takers, the latter is not a deal-breaker.
What are all the apps that support Adonit Pixel? Is it really worth it for someone who doesn’t have the money and wants a cheap iPad and wants a replacement for the Apple Pencil? Is it really a good stylus that is close to the Apple Pencil?
I have never heard of this device, but I am guessing that it is a cheap Chinese android tablet. Do not think of it as a cheap iPad, there is no such thing. You would only be disappointed with that frame of mind. As for the stylus, it would also be very disappointing when compared to the Apple Pencil. The Pencil was designed to work at very high resolution and sensitivity with the iPad Pro. Graphics professionals compare it favorably to a Wacom tablet, a very expensive and high-end device. The stylus for that tablet will likely be adequate for basic drawing and tapping on things, but that’s about it.As for apps, it would be able to run apps from the Google Play store.
I want to get a stylus to take write notes in iPad Air. Between the Adonit Jot Dash and Bamboo Fineline 2, which one would you recommend and why?
I would go for Jot Dash. It’s more precise and has a superior build quality. If you want to save some bucks, Adonit Jot Pro will be another option. Despite being a passive stylus, it is wonderfully accurate. Apple pencil definitely provides a better and consistent experience but it requires an iPad pro.
What is the best stylus to use with the iPad?
My two favorite are the Jot Script 2 Evernote Edition and the Wacom Bamboo Fineline 2, that is of course if you are not getting an iPad Pro, then I would get the Apple Pencil.Things I like about the Wacom Bamboo Fineline 2:It has pressure sensitivity. It has a shortcut button.It comes in many colors.Has a pen cap.Things I like about the Jot Script 2:It has a tip that lasts forever, no replacement tips.It works with Penultimate and comes with a free 6 month Evernote subscription.Is rechargeable.Looks cool with the gunmetal design.Things I like about both of them:They have a super thin tip.It works with apps like GoodNotes 4.They are weighted like a pen.Have palm rejectionThey are both good styli. Overall, I like the Jot Script better. It will last longer, is rechargeable, and looks like a really cool pen. Choose whichever one you want, and whichever one stays with in your budget.

What are the best tech substitutes for the pen on paper experience?
Some thoughts about best tech substitutes for the pen on paper experience:(1) Samsung Galaxy Note series of devices:In my experience, the Samsung Galaxy Note series of devices with their s-pen stylus are the best tech substitutes for the pen on paper experience.I have used the Galaxy Note series of devices since 2011 - and the Galaxy Note-3 since 2013 and currently I am using the Galaxy Note-4.Software on Galaxy Note Series of devices for Pen-Paper experience:(i) Samsung's S-Note, S-Memo and S-Planner - These are the built-in pre-installed software which Galaxy Note series of devices have for handwriting recognition and pen-writing and drawing.(ii) MyPenPad - This is a software available from Samsung's "Galaxy Apps" - which lets you write handwritten (but handwriting recognition digitised) notes with s-Pen stylus and is available for various note series of devices.I really liked it's interface and the way it harnesses each feature of the Galaxy Note devices including s-pen hover (where you can see a note's contents by simply hovering s-pen over a particular note.URL to Get MyPenPad: http://www.samsungapps.com/appqu...Facebook Page: My Pen PadVideo of MyPenPad / General Tips on Handwriting Recognition with Samsung Galaxy Note Series of Devices(2) LG Phones with Stylus - they are good, but they do not have too many software nor a significant developer ecosystem with apps to support handwriting recognition the way Samsung supports.(3) Lennovo Tabs with Stylus - Have not seen any significant distribution of these in India.(6) iPad Pro - Personally I didnt like it- since the pen needs charging- and comes as a separate accessory and it is not tightly integrated with device and platform the way the Samsung s-pen is.Infact after losing my Galaxy Note-3, I learnt about limitations of iPad Pro and the non availability of SDCARD extension on Galaxy Note-5 and I bought a Galaxy Note-4. And I am super happy with Note-4 than I would have been with anything else.Hope that helps.Good Luck.As always, Upvotes, Comments, Criticisms and discussions always welcome...
Will the iPad Air 3 support the Apple Pencil?
It was interesting that there was no iPad 3 announced this year.That suggests that Apple had its hands full working on the iPad Pro.So that certainly leaves the opportunity for an all new product with new technology.It could get the high fidelity digitiser from the iPad Pro. It could get 3d Touch from the iPhone. It could get the new keyboard connector. It might get nothing at all. Just a new processor. The general iPad story is that Apple are selling fewer iPads than originally hoped because people are hanging onto to them far longer than with phones. And this is a commercial challenge. The market seems to be split between cheap, tablets which are primarily used for web-browsing, and watching TV. And the high end tablets which are capable of more stuff.If Apple do what I expect them to do, it will write-off the low-end of the market. And attempt to sell products that perform well at the top end. That requires three things.1) Differentiated hardware, with features and performance out of the range of cheap Android tablets. So that would include stuff like the Pencil. 2) Improved software, possibly a version of iOS that is increasingly less like the phone. So more multitasking, more file management, and other personal computer features.3) A more professional app store. Where the paid upgrades, try before you buy and other features are included to support proper professional application development.I worry that the present-day Apple is more than capable of delivering 1) , May take steps toward 2. But is not at all motivated to solve 3.
