Dell Axim Stylus from PDA Panache
"The PDA Panache stylus for your Dell� Axim�. We've designed a comfortable to hold stylus upgrade just for your Dell Axim. Try this stylus once and you won't ever want to go back to your stock Axim stylus!"
� "All metal for solid feel.
� Screen-safe EasyView stylus tip.
� Fits in your Axim's stylus holder so it's always there when you need it.
� Hex head for easy extraction from the holder.
� Shaped to be more comfortable to hold and use.
� Chrome or Black electroplated finish.
� Satisfaction guarantee and lifetime free tip repair."
It's always nice to see some third-party solutions for the Axim. You know a device has taken a significant chunk of the Pocket PC market when solutions start to appear for it.

I had a PDA Panache stylus for my old iPAQ with a little ballpoint pen inside it - it was really nice for occasions when I needed a pen but didn't have one with me (I carry my Pocket PC all the time). My assumption is that this kind of pen-stylus can't be done effectively with my new Axim, unfortunately, because the original stylus (and thus stylus slot) is so flat, and this new stylus seems to be confirmation of that. :cry:

Nice lookin' stylus!!!
Checking on the site it appears from the AX photo that it's 16.95 US for
2 sylii... altho' quantity on checkout lists 1.
If it IS only 1 - I wonder if they are more than 3X as good as the Dell stylii???
:?

I have used pdapanache stylii for the hp568, and the Toshiba e740 and both were top notch (1 was chrome, and 1 was black).
I have been anxiously awaiting these from pdapanache, and will probably order 1 of each color (I really can't decide which color I like better).
As for the price, I am suprised that they are selling this at the same price as their round stylii. The manufacturing methods needed to produce a stylus of this shape are a lot more complex than those needed to produce a standard round stylus.
In my opinion pdapanache stylii ARE worth 2 to 3 times more than oem stylii (but that is just my opinion).

If they had released them in January like they promised I would buy one in a second, I love the metal stylii. Too late now though, time for a new PPC, I've had my Axim for 6 months already! 8O

I'm guessing that means you get one stylus pack, and each pack contains two styli.

I'd been hoping that someone would make a replacement styus for the Axim. I don't like the stock one very much.
I bought a stylus to fit one of my Cross pens and that works really well. Of course, most time I need to use my Axim, I don't have that pen with me so it's back to the stock one.
Anyway, I just ordered the Panache, it looks good.

OK.... resistanace seems futile... has anyone held one of these in their hands? The one crit of stock sylii is that they feel thin and light and snapable - are these more substantial?
Please, somebody say "Yes" - then I can order LOL
:roll:

Does that just mean that the tip is orange and rounded or is there something else about that tip that would make it especially "screen-safe"?
