Jot Touch Review and Mod

Here is my review of the Adonit Jot touch:



Jot Touch with cap and USB charger:


Top: stock tip. Bottom: modified bent tip



New modified tip allows for extreme angles:

Pros:
-Great design and build quality
-Great pressure sensitive solution for the iPad
-Works well with ArtRage and Procreate
-Easy Bluetooth pairing
-Long battery life
-2 function buttons, great for future app support
-Great see through tip disc, for detailed line work
-Comes with cool USB charger with magnet attachment
-Comes with extra tip and disc.

Cons:
-Only works well with Procreate and ArtRage, as of early Aug '12. Some other supported apps have various issues. This should be all resolved with future app updates.
-Nothing really works for the iPhone :(
-iPad 1 is not supported.
-Pressure sensitivity is low, feels like tablet PC's. Not the pressure levels like the newer Wacom tablets and Cintiq.
-Tilt angle is not enough, often miss lines when too angled. Solved by modifying the tip!
-At $100, it is a bit steep. Understandably so, but not for everyone.
