== Cafeco Pencil ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' is a net positive for me i think the only question i have is similar to when i was talking about the pentel energel cleanup pen last year wide barrel fine tip writing so your smaller writing is it more of a challenge i i understand that there's not that much super fine writing you know using the apple pencil on the on the ipad you know not like i would write on the paper but do you find that to be a challenge your normal normal writing versus say you know the the wider looser sketchy flowing marker style handwriting do you see an issue with the fine handwriting i don't unless it's an extended period of time

'''Myke Hurley:''' i feel like the the weight of this thing over an extended period of time the fatigue would set in quickly but like in the tests that i've done it works fine and also you know i if i'm ever i think most people i would expect that most people using an apple pencil are using it for for broad broader strokes than to write like tiny little notes you know like i think that yes it would be trickier with this product but my expectation is that the majority of people that are using it it would be fine right like i i think that if you're writing a lot a lot like a lot you're probably doing on pen and paper right so i would expect i mean and of course there are going to be edge cases of course but i would expect that the majority of people are not using an apple pencil for that purpose it's like they're taking short notes or they're sketching something or you know using it for ui navigation like i do too and i think that it's fine for all of those but yeah if you were spending 45 minutes doing some real intense writing with this i don't think you're going to have an enjoyable experience overall because i think

'''Brad Dowdy:''' that the weight would get to you yeah well i think i'm gonna have to get one and at least try it out i think i can see this i i'm just impressed with the build of it and the integration of it that it looks flawless it looks like it was made hand in hand with apple so nice job yeah let's just say like

'''Myke Hurley:''' i think it'll do well you could take cafeco's branding off of this and tell me apple made it like you could do that and genuinely as much as i like this product i hope that there isn't need for it in a few months time because i really want apple to make the apple pencil i want right right but i don't think they're going to so this is a this is a product that i expect to be keeping on my apple

'''Brad Dowdy:''' pencil for the foreseeable future i think it's really really cool yeah very cool i love it and uh i will keep an eye on these when they start uh heading in in more places other than uh europe which i imagine this is going to be a pretty quick thing it's either going to be zero or a hundred pretty soon right it's either not going to happen or they're going to be everywhere very soon which i

'''Myke Hurley:''' i think it's the latter yeah yeah i mean i haven't i was i've kind of been poking around and i haven't

'''Brad Dowdy:''' seen anybody else that is selling it right now okay okay well cool well man i am uh i think i'm talked out this week i bet you are i bet you are lots we have lots of ass tpa to get to i think maybe next week uh pre arkansas we can do like a good half episode if not an entire episode of ass tpa what do you think yeah i think we need to get back to it because i have i have them in a document i have them physically here in letters so i think we'll we'll do a lot of that stuff so get all the questions in we'll answer them all next week on pen addict number 299 wow yeah all right thanks
