Beret-wearing, work shy layabout ?artists? rejoice! Now you can swap expansive and messy paint and canvas for an expensive and tidy iPad and brush-shaped stylus. Well, the iPad part is expensive. The Nomad brush stylus is just $24, or around the same price as a rubber, nubbin-tipped pen stylus.
As an object, the brush is beautiful. A walnut and carbon shaft gives way to a brush made with a mixture of synthetic and natural fibers, and the bristles seem to have been shortened since we saw the prototype last month. The Nomad also has specs ? or at least as many specs as a brush can have. It weighs 0.2 ounces, or 5.7 grams, and measures 7.5 inches long by a quarter of an inch wide, or 19 x 0.6 centimeters.
Like any capacitive touch-screen stylus, it requires no power, as it is merely a replacement for your finger. And the bristles won?t change the on-screen paint at all ? that?s taken care of by software. But given how much easier my aluminum Alupen stylus makes drawing and writing, just the feel of the Nomad alone should be worth the cash. The brush will work with any tablet or phone with a capacitive screen.
