Cheap Stylus Pens Are Very Helpful

By Maryanne Goff


There are plenty of tablets out there these days. More than ever before people are buying tablets like they are going out of style. Almost everyone has one and they are not slowing down. With these purchases on the rise so are the applications that people can run with them as well as accessories. Things like covers, stands, and even cheap stylus pens are selling like crazy.

When the touch screen tablets first hit the market the main selling point besides their power was that they did not require any type of pen or other device to draw or write on them. All you needed was the touch of your finger and that was the appeal of the device. Nothing else needed but yourself.

When they became popular enough to be in almost every home and almost every little kid was using their mom and dad's tablet, the drawing programs and games started to become more popular as well. They were selling very well and the children and even adults enjoyed the apps. When selling this well it was easy for other companies to want to get in on the action.

When used properly the stylus can act just as a pen would on a piece of paper. The special tip allows the tablet to recognize it as a finger touching the screen and translates that touch into a line or a circle. Whatever the child or person draws with it will come out just as if it was a finger. The advantage is that you can see what you are doing better.

Then they just exploded on the market. The little plastic pens were everywhere but they were very expensive. Far too expensive to buy just to use on one measly little application. After a while however people started to notice the cheaper ones were being produced and started buying them for their kids. After all they were the ones playing the games.

After some time it became clear to some developers that making apps specifically for the pen would be advantageous, so they did. In time they continued to sell well and more and more stores started to carry them. Then when people recognized they were in these stores they purchased more and m, ore of them and sales match estimates.

Thankfully the applications that are developed today take this into consideration and can sometimes adapt for this little error in judgement by the tablets touch sensor. But if you do not have an app that can do that you will still have trouble and this is exactly what these were designed for. They are the perfect solution.

At this point cheap stylus pens were in almost every home that already had a tablet. They started to go hand in hand even though when the tablets came out they tried to distance themselves from the stylus. This partnership became whole again and in time they even started selling them together once more. The products have now come full circle. If you don't have a pen but you have a stylus you are missing a valuable part of the device.
