Not happy with your OEM stylus? Did it fall from its housing or silo and now you can’t find it? Wish you had a pen and stylus combo? Need to write underwater or at high altitudes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the $20 Inka Pen might be right up your alley. This versatile writing instrument has an stainless-steel ring on one end to keep it attached to you, your keys, your cat, whatever…. [Note: we don’t condone using your cat as a secondary gadget bag, although mine has been known to pick up a stylus in her mouth and run like the dickens].
The pen sits inside a sealed, stainless-steel barrel and uses a pressurized ink cartridge with a tungsten carbide tip. If you need a full-length pen, you can screw the pen into the barrel. If you need a PDA stylus or a short tip for a touchscreen tablet, there’s one tucked inside the pen barrel. I wouldn’t use this as an everyday stylus on my UMPC, but it could be useful for a touchscreen handheld. To shed a little weight, you can upgrade to a full titanium barrel at $50; that’ll get you from 0.6-ounces to 0.45. I’d personally opt not to…just makes it that much easier for the cat to steal.
