Michal Ždanský FiftyThree became famous for its innovative drawing application Paper, but later introduced its hardware accessory, the Pencil stylus, to its software solution for the iPad. It is generally considered one of the best capacitive styluses you can buy. Not only in terms of ergonomics, but also functions. Thanks to the Bluetooth connection with the tablet, for example, the other end of the stylus can function as an eraser, and it is due to arrive in the fall support for sensitivity to the surface of the stylus.
However, FiftyThree is an American company and until now the stylus could only be purchased in the US. That is about to change. It's no secret that FiftyThree has been coming to Europe with a stylus for some time now, and apparently plans to announce an expansion in the near future. The early plans were accidentally revealed by Amazon, which started selling the stylus in its UK, German or French version of the store. One of the employees confirmed this in the forum on the official website of FiftyThree:
Amazon started selling the Pencil outside of the agreed upon date when we planned the announcement. We still plan to send out an email with discount details.
It is not yet clear whether the Pencil will be offered only through the European version of Amazon, or whether FifthyThree will also use other distribution channels. It will also depend on how difficult it will be to get a Pencil in the Czech Republic. However, this is great news for European users of Paper, who will be able to take full advantage of the app's power thanks to its proprietary hardware connection.
I'm really looking forward to it ... that's why I haven't bought the additional packages for FiftyThree yet ... I'm still waiting for their stylus ...
Is it such a problem to order it on amazon.de?
