Polar Pen - Magnetic pen/stylus

[Fzero]

Looks pretty good, for those that like to pen things down often, I'd like one to use at work.

Looks nice, functions as a stylus too, modular, strong magnet ... which itself could be useful to have to hand for those of you who mod and need to lift a screw out a recess or something?

The modular magnets can be used for drawing perfect circles too which I thought was a nice touch

LOL! "$578,289 pledged of $14,000 goal"


I think I'll just wait and buy one once they are readily available

unless craig is running it in which case somehow there wont be enough money and they'll need to have a donation drive

 

[Fzero]

They smashed it eh?

I'm sure I'll get my Polar Pen before my iCP2

 

[EssoAir]

probably so. sad isnt it?

I don't see anything revolutionary about this.

 

[EssoAir]

it doesnt have to be revolutionary to be a good idea. If everything was revolutionary then there would be no merrit to a revolutionary achievement

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

This thing is just a pen with magnets on it.  Why is it a good idea?

 

[EssoAir]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you see no beauty, that does not mean others do not either. Dont like it? Dont buy it. simple as that

 

[Fzero]

Yeah, plus some of us are just stationary freaks - check my pens draw at moment

I need a nice magnetic one to add to the collection

Id be weary of a magnet in my pocket next to me phone, tho

[Fzero]

Yeah I have them all

Just claimed this one too off someone which I had my eye on for a bit ... into the pen-abyss-drawer it goes

Anyway, I got an update from this KS mentioning the potential dangers of magnets, mainly if ingested, and anyone considering purchasing for an under 14 y/o could review their pledge.

 

[Pritchy]

I got one.

I may have a thing for pens.

imo there is a lot of useless tat on kickstarter too! generally they aim to solve problems that don't exist!.

Aber sowas von!  :lol:

Ball-Pens seems to always find their audience, maybe there are still not enough Pens out there. Nice Idea though but not much more than a toy. The huge success indicates ,that there will be more Pens in KS campaigns in the future.  :rolleyes:

Your statement sums up the next gen consoles, they are solutions that are looking for problems.
