Hahaha! Did you laugh at the unfortunate Pogo Stylus accessory for the iPhone too? Well, Ten One, the guys behind the ridiculous peripheral probably heard it. Instead of ditching the product, though, they actually made it useful. Wow.
If you don’t remember it, the Pogo is a small stick with conductive foam on the writing end. You were supposed to use that end to write on your iPhone screen. Since none of us did, they created a new use for it and this one’s pretty cool.
Basically, what you have to do is get a Mac software called Autograph. Once that is running, you can then use your Pogo Stylus to scribble stuff on your computer via the touchpad of any unibody MacBook. The stuff you write is accurately rendered on the screen, allowing you to scribble on the touchpad like it’s a piece of paper with the results showing directly on Autograph’s screen.
The main selling point is a newfound ability to sign documents on your PC, without having to print, scan or fax anything. It works in tons of OS X-based applications, include Word, Pages, Mail, iChat and many more, so you can adorn documents and pages you create with as many silly, little doodles as you want.
Pogo Stylus units, by the way, now cost only $7.50 on Amazon and they come with a free download of the software. Alternatively, you can buy just the software for $7 directly from the site.
