I purchased a few off of eBay to use with my iPhone4 and they work great on the NC as well. I received 3 for about $8 with shipping.

They are fairly sturdy and work great for the SketchPad from AD.

They have like a hard rubber tip to them? I read on other forums that pogo doesn't work well. Griffin is ok but I gotta press a little hard

Also, if you don't mind spend the money, a Pogo Stylus are supposed to be the best.
I bought a pogo for my wife's iPad and it works perfectly on it. Using it on my NC is a completely different story. Usually, drawing with a Pogo results in VERY choppy/dashed lines instead of the desired straight/smooth lines.

For those wanting TouchTest images, I took a couple screenshots on my NC. I used my Dagi P501 on the right and my left index finger on the left. I tried drawing the lines with the same speed. While it's not perfect, I hope this is what you were looking for. If you need something different, let me know as I've never really used TouchTest before. I used TouchTest v1.4 for this.

Thanks! That was exactly what I wanted to see before I bought one.

I got the targus one and using touch test you can clearly see how poorly it works, but from those screenshots it looks like the dagi is working as well as your finger, so I'll probably order one today.

Thanks. I might look into these. I still have to test this Griffin out a little more.
The one in the ebay article looks like a Pogo.
This youtube review compares the Pogo and the Dagi. Dagi wins. (On an iPad using Sketchbook Pro.)

Edit: I guess my links won't show up until I have more posts.

To those who have had success with the Dagi stylii -- are you using a screen protector, or is your screen naked?

I wound up getting three Dagi stylii - P005, P501, and P101 -- and while they work, I wouldn't say they work reliably enough for me to continue to try using them. Based on the success others have said with these, I can only attribute my experience to the screen protectors on my devices... and I'm not willing to remove them.

Please feel free to edit this section out or let me know if I'm not allowed to post this here, but: if anyone is interested in (any) of these stylii, PM me. I'm not looking to make any money, just recover what I spent on them. Thanks.
I just received mine (P005) and it works great. This is what a stylus should be. Anywho, my screens are naked.

Apparently it is important to ensure that you are not getting the original POGO, at least that was my impression after reading some reviews.

The newer style, called the "Design Pogo Sketch", is supposed to be significantly better with capacitive touchscreens. And it is a smaller tip.

I just ordered one off of eBay last night, it should be here early next week, so I will come back with an update and a video showing it's skills in Sketchbook.

HTC branded Dagi

I just order the HTC branded Dagi. I got my Griffin in today and it's not good at all for what I want (drawing/writing). I don't even have a screen protector on!

I'll post a reply with how well it works when it comes in.

Can you guys just hike the sensitivity of the screen? I know you can recalibrate...is this the same? Please ignore me if I'm totally off, I'm a noob haha

I use mine WITH a screen protector and have had absolutely no issues. In fact, when I posted those screenshots with TouchTest, I had the B&N Anti-glare screen protector on my NC. There is a slight learning curve when it comes to holding the Dagi the right way. Maybe adjust the way you hold the stylus?

Just ordered the Dagi p501 from their site. 23$. I use a screen protector. I'll let you all know how it is when it gets here... in 20 days :/
