We’re teaming up with Griffin Technology to give 10 people their iPad Stylus along with our Draft app. Visit Griffin for full directions on how to enter.
Griffin’s Stylus is among the most popular iPad Stylus on the market. Bob Tedeschi from The New York Times recently wrote about it in his Gadgetwise column:
Use a good stylus like one from Griffin Technologies. It’s $20, but unlike other products on the market, it feels like a pen and its metal clip holds fast to your iPad notebook. And it won’t snap easily, like the many plastic stylus devices on the market.
Jason Zimdars is one 37signals designer who uses the Stylus. His thoughts on it:
It gives you a little more precision than using your finger because the tip is smaller than your finger, especially because you can see better. Your finger covers more of the image when you’re drawing. But for me I think more than anything it just feels more natural to use a pencil-like tool rather than a finger when you’re drawing. So it’s more natural for me to grab an iPad and the stylus just like I would a pen and my sketchbook.
Draft is a straightforward sketch app for iPad. You can get it in the App Store for $9.99.

“It’s like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it.” -Steve Jobs
I think that quote was too dismissive of the stylus. It has many uses and your finger is a poor substitute in those situations.

My fingers are off duty since using my lightweight Stylus Socks made from conductive fabric. Smooth, no drag, no pressure.

A tweet that says “I want @37signals DRAFT and @griffintech STYLUS #draftstylus” is almost 100% noise, especially when it’s bought by a chance to win.

37signals participating in a twitter-based marketing campaign? Has the world come to an end?

Is this the site that Jeremy got his Free Ipad at? I can’t find his youtube video anymore. Where he opened the package with the ipad in it? http://axesmedia.com/Ipad.html

Sounds to be a new on the block but would love to wait for a while as this could just change the whole procedure in the long run. As of now it’s a good one that’s indeed promising.

Retweet-based contests are inherently stupid. It’s noise to everyone else. This is the kind of idea you can expect from griffintech’s blog, which features giant social media buttons and a “toolbar” at the bottom with even more social media buttons.
