If you have yourself the new Apple tablet and are looking for the right accessories to help make the experience even better, I suggest you consider getting the iPad 2 Maglus. Of course, the first step would be to help fund it on FundIt.ie.
Created by industrial designers Andy Shaw and Noel Joyce, the iPad 2 Maglus is a magnetic stylus that can conveniently stick to your tablet or tablet cover when not in use, so that you never lose it -- which, let's face it, is easy to do. Like other styluses, it has a conductive tip and penlike clip on the side. The iPad 2 Maglus also has a plastic cover so that it doesn't scratch the surface of the iPad.
If you pledge 15 euros on FundIt.com, you’ll get one of the first iPad 2 Maglus units off the line when it finally reaches production.
