This one supposedly has a super high accuracy. Did I get it wrong, is this just another capacitive stylus? If so, then I agree it's crap.

Edit: darn, after some research it looks like this pen uses regular capacitance... Unless they solved the accuracy issue that existed with earlier pens, the review I saw must have been misleading... I thought this used a new technology.

The new thing going on is that Apple is letting you detect the size of a touch on the screen, which lets you approximate pressure by how smushed the tip is. Still going to be less accurate than a Wacom or similar stylus, but it's an improvement over being less accurate and not having pressure sensitivity.
