Double the Pen Experience with Wacom's Bamboo Stylus duo
Bridging two worlds: best-in-class Bamboo Stylus for touch screens now also features analog inking and sketching experience.
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wacom(®) launches Bamboo((TM)) Stylus duo, a new dual-purpose stylus for the iPad(®) and Android tablets, which combines a proven capacitive pen tip for on-screen input at one end of the Stylus with a premium ball-point ink pen at the opposite end for use on traditional paper. With an elegant design and quality craftsmanship, synonymous with all Wacom products, Bamboo Stylus duo is the ideal tool for writing, drawing or doodling in both a digital and analog world.
While consumers are using media tablets more and more in daily life, traditional paper still appears a lot in free-flowing creative expression. The Bamboo Stylus duo, with its simple clean shape and satin textured metal body, serves the needs of the analog and digital user with just one tool. At one end of the Stylus, there is a smooth best-in-class responsive pen tip for on-screen usage, while the other end houses a high quality inking pen for traditional writing and drawing. The pen cap can conveniently be attached to either end of the pen.
The multitalented Bamboo Stylus duo and the colourful range of Bamboo Stylus solo - with only a rubber tip - form the growing family of touch screen Styluses designed by Wacom. With any member of the Bamboo Stylus family people can visualize their thoughts in private and business life: from note-taking, annotating and drawing to creating visual communication aids such as mind maps, charts and sketches. Whether using a digital or traditional medium, the user experience is intuitive and natural.
