Pogo Stick Turns Mac Touchpads into Graphics Tablets
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... a companion for the latest MacBooks. It also has a pocket clip.
This time, though, it looks like the Pogo people have finally found a decent use for the pointy stick. The Sketch essentially turns the large multi touch pads on the unabomber MacBooks into graphics tablets. Small graphics tablets, but good enough for some sketching and note-writing.
Our suggestion? Wait a while. By our calculations, in another 18 months the price will have dropeed to $0.

OhGizmo! Review – Pogo Sketch
OhGizmo! —
... function with Photoshop in the way I’d like (not the fault of the stylus really, that’s just the way the software works) I would still recommend this to anyone with a multi-touch device.

That’s okay, though, because as long as I punch a live bear in the stomach every few days and stay unshaven, I can still feel like a man despite the fact that my dainty fingers are wrapped around a $15 aluminum stylus in a (surprisingly gorgeous) hot pink.
