I can't believe I just watched 8 minutes of stylus reviews and actually enjoyed it. Well done.

Indeed! Well done! Styluses are something you need to experience, not just read about. But watching demonstrations is a close second. Thanks for doing all the research for us.

Very nicely done demonstrations! I wonder if the "O" stylus would be useful for tracing? Assuming a graphics program exists for iPad that allows multiple layers so you could import an image to trace.

SketchBook Pro (among other apps) allows the importing of multiple image layers, so that's a definite possibility. I haven't tried tracing anything using the oStylus, but it works really nicely for doing straight architectural lines within that app.

Great video! Just what I needed. It doesn't hurt that Serenity is super cute.

This was the best video I've ever seen from MacWorld!
No offense Jason/Chris but you should have Serenity do all your video reviews. She is a real pro.

It would be nice if MacWorld provided a video of higher quality than this small low res one. How about providing a low res version and a 480p or 720P version for those of us with broadband connections.

Oops. I guess the video was in 480p. Sure doesn't look like it though. Looks like it was filmed using an iPhone or web cam.

If you are not careful, you are going to create a whole lot more work for Ms. Caldwell...

We endeavor to shoot stuff in clear HD and post that on YouTube, but it doesn't always happen. If we start posting videos more regularly, the quality should become a bit more stable.
