Evernote and Adonit recently released version 2 of their stylus. I was very excited about getting this but as you’ll see in the video below I think they’ve failed to create a functional stylus for one simple reason.
The Evernote Adonit Jot Script 2 stylus has great style and awesome charging functionality but ultimately fails because of one major design flaw.
Watch my video review or click here if you don’t see the video below.
Unfortunately it failed my tests with Evernote’s own note taking app Penultimate.
Pros:
Weight
Build quality
Charging speed
USB Magnetic charger
Battery life
6 months of Evernote Premium included
Cons:
Price vs. Performance
Forces you to turn off multi-touch gestures shortcut
Tip movement
Palm protection performance
App integration = Penultimate had lousy functionality or you have to buy non-Evernote $5 apps
Buy or Pass?
Pass. Too many bugs even though the hardware is solid. Most of all the loose tip makes the pen too difficult to use. Even with the six months of free premium Evernote included I’m sending mine back.
Other (better) Stylus Options
Wacom Bamboo – $17.95
New Trent Arcadia 2 in 1 Stylus – $8.99
