I waited for 2 months for this item to come into stock at about 10 different web sites. I use the stylus with my iPad, not for anything fancy dancy; just to be able to write notes is some of the that allow it. So much easier than that darn keyboard and all the typos I make with it.
Cold I have been saisfied with a different stylus, I dont know. The Bamboonwas thenone I wanted.
I must sY that B&H with the wonderful notification system they have to alert me that they finally had the item in stock was a machia. I love buying from companies who know what customer service isnall about....and clearly B&H has their act together.
Bravo to them, bravo to Wadom.

This is perhaps one of the best pens I have used for the iPad. It feels good in your hand and it is very precise and it glides beautifully across the screen. However, the problem that I find with this pen is the durability of the tip. I don't think that I write hard with this pen or I do something out of the ordinary to make the tip wear out. The issue is compounded by the lack of support from the company as I've been trying to get replacement tips from them for a while now with no success. The tips sell for [$](pack of 3), but nobody seems to carry it. You can find them at triple the price on some web sites, but why pay triple the price when they only should cost $4.95? This is half the cost of a new pen. Unfortunately the pen does not come with replacement tips either and that would be nice. So, if the tip wears out, either you pay triple the price for the tips or buy yourself a new pen all together. I sent an e-mail to the company about four weeks ago on the availability of the tip replacement, and the company has never returned my e-mail (using their built in message system as found on their web site). I wish there was a way to recommend this item with a qualifier, but in all honesty, I can not recommend it due to the lack of support from the company on something that can be resolved so easily ... just make the replacement available!!! I love the pen, but with no tip or a broken tip, it is useless … bottom line!

Great precision, the best stylus in the market. Use it all the time, totally paperless.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Stylus Pen for the iPad and iPhone4:
I received the Bamboo stylus a few weeks ago, and absolutely love it so far. It writes so much better than other styluses (or styli?).
I tried a cheaper stylus first, then upgraded to a Targa stylus that didn't seem much better. I had all but given up on written note-taking in the iPad until I tried the Bamboo.
It does seem to work better in some apps than others. I'm using it in the "Paper" app by FiftyThree (which I also recommend) and it works extremely well.
I'm still worried about reviews that the nib breaks easily, but have yet to experience any problems.

Although I tried other styluses, the Bamboo is so far superior, it is now the only one I use. It responds like an ordinary pen on paper on my iPad. I use it for drawing and painting apps and for handwriting.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Stylus Pen for the iPad and iPhone4:
This is a good stylus from a great brand name in pen and touch technology. The stylus has a nice weight to it, which I find useful, it also doesn't feel cheap. It takes your iPad one or two times using it before you and the iPad get used to the new form of input, but when you do it is an awesome experience. It opens up many different levels of creativity on your iPad.

I use this product to take notes on the iPad.
The tip is a bit to large for note taking but from what I've seen from other styluses none of them are.
It's great for iPad artwork.
The fact that it is weighted gives it a nice feel in your hand.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Stylus Pen for the iPad and iPhone4:
I purchased this mainly for note-taking. It's very accurate and good to hold, but the soft foam tip feels a bit like writing with a sharpie which can be distracting for writing. I haven't used it much for drawing, but varying pressure would probably make it great for that.
The iPad is not a great tool for hand-written notes, but this is a good stylus given iPad's limitations.

It works as intended - it's solidly made and looks great. The rubber tip, as others have pointed out, is a bit squishy, and it could be a but smaller for more precise usage, but, these are minor things. It's an excellent stylus, the best I have used by far.
