Hi all.

You may recall from last month that I am working on producing a pressure sensitive iPad stylus, called PressurePen. My first attempt at raising funds via Kickstarter.com didn't reach its goal, so I've started another.

Please take a moment to check out my "round 2" Kickstarter here: http://kck.st/KHhJpI

If you contribute or just "like" or share the link with your friends and colleagues, every bit helps me toward the goal of manufacturing my invention and bringing it to market.

Thanks for your help.

good news everyone

Wow, Charles is getting close to his goal but not quite there. 82% of his goal and only 30 hours to go. Will he or won't he?

Very exciting. Go Charles!!!

yep. i'm getting really close. in order to make my goal, i need roughly $50 per hour pledged by tomorrow night at 8pm.

every little bit helps. for the low, low price of $10, you can get a hand-made brass stylus - or 3 for $15 - that's cheaper than the Pogo Sketch!

Charles, I don't remember if you mentioned this before or not -- but will your pressure sensitive stylus work with an iPhone? If so, what software?

it will work on an iPhone as well, but the only app that supports pressure sensitivity at the moment is my demo app, which is iPad only.

i'm talking with several iOS developers with drawing or notes apps to incorporate the pressure sensitivity into their apps. those will likely be universal.

Will iphone apps that support "drawing" currently work with the pen even though they don't support support pressure sensitive line width at this time?

Yes. Sorry for the confusion. It works as a regular stylus would.
