When it comes down to it, no matter how advanced the Visor is, no matter how great those Springboard modules are, you have to have something to write with. Some styli are complete replacements for the stylus that comes with the Visor, while others have the ability to function as a pen or pencil. The winner of the Stylus of the Year not only improves handwriting recognition, it also has the right proportions so it doesn't
feel like a light toothpick.
Winner:
PDA
Panache Visor Custom stylus
PDA Panache has always been a leader in the stylus arena, making the
extremely popular Black Nail for the original PalmPilot and continuing
its high quality with the Visor Custom stylus. It is the standard
by which all replacement styli are judged. It's perfect weight and
handy reset pen make it the perfect writing instrument for your Visor.
James: When I had a Palm III, I had the custom stylus for
the Palm. Now I have the version for the Visor. The Visor Custom
stylus feels great to hold, and its signature orange tip is easy to see
when writing.
Marcus: The PDA Panache Visor stylus was one of the first 3rd party styli for the Visor, and still holds the lead. While its top could be improved to work better with the Visor's stylus holder, all other elements of the stylus makes it a worthy winner.
Honorable Mention: Handspring
Visor Stylus 5-pack
Now shipping with all new Visor handhelds, the Visor Stylus should have
been originally bundled with all Visor handhelds. The styli fits perfectly
in the Visor, and the hidden reset pin and tiny screw driver makes the
Visor Stylus a useful tool for those that love to tinker with their Visor.
