Thanks ! Does someone to work know if a Pogo stylus work with a standard trackpad (for Windows 7).

Thanks !

It would be great to signing electronic documents. Now this is cool. It would be great to signing electronic documents.

I used to program device drivers so I've been able to look at a number of drivers for various capacitive touchpad/touchscreen devices and I cannot find even a single reference to pressure information, unlike WACOM devices. What it does give you, though, is the AREA of the point-of-contact. So, more pressure means a larger point-of-contact area- and they interpolate this with the speed and direction of the stroke to simulate pressure sensitivity. I think this is how WACOM is also able to get 15 levels of pressure sensitivity with their capacitive digitizers (in the new Bamboo tablets). Don't know how well it will compare against the tried-and-tested WACOM EMR solution, though. I think their ‘pressure sensitivity’ is a software trick.
