No speeding with your chicken…

Slow and steady makes your tummy full...

I managed to find another one of Nandos Malaysia’s billboards in KL, and this time it’s at the Federal Highway, near the exit of Subang Airport.

Nandos told me that they have several of this tongue-in-cheek advertisement around KL, but so far I can only find two (the first one is here).

I apologise for the poor quality photo. It’s difficult to take any kind of photo while being in a moving vehicle and the board so high up, especially with an iPhone.

Well, at least I’m not speeding.

My new Ozaki iStroke L pen

Ozaki iStroke L

Ever since I saw someone poking her iPad with a pen at Starbucks, I always wanted one too. It looks so cool using your iPad with a pen, and not an ordinary pen that is. It’s a specially designed pen to be used with iPads or iPhones, or anything with touch screens. The tip should be made from rubber (for obvious reason).

Ozaki's logo

Searching the web yields several models and choices for that particular specialty pen. I’ve chosen three different models and brands, but found out that only Ozaki is available in KL. Ozaki is a well-known Japanese brand with some innovations on its belt.  Other than the iStroke, they also got iSuppli (iPhone docks), iCoat (iPhone & iPad cases), iMini (digital clocks for iPod), iUFO (digital dock for iPhone) and some other stuffs.

iStroke's rubber tip

If you’re lucky enough to use a PDA years ago, you can relate this pen to a stylus. The only difference is the rubber tip. Stylus would have a hard tip, as the PDA’s screen was designed to be touch with a pointed hard tip (not your nips, people!), and not your fingers. Whereas the iPad was designed to be used with your fingers (touch not poke), hence the logical choice of a rubber tip.

Looks just like a normal pen

Hey, it looks like a normal pen! And can be used on your iPhone too!

Ozaki's

Ozaki said:

Soft tip provides a more sensitive touch than your finger and avoids fingerprints and smudges on the screen. Relieves finger pressure while reading, marking iBooks or playing games. Lightweight aluminum body and weight only 20 gram.

It's also a real pen!

Handy built-in with shirt clip and ball point pen. You can poke and you can also write (not on the screen!).

Now you can poke with your pen...

After using it for a while, I can report that it’s very easy to fall in love with the iStroke. Using your finger to swipe (or poke or touch) your iPad might be tiring if you’re doing it for long period of time. The iStroke mimics the usage of a normal pen and you can use it like a pen too. You’ll naturally be comfortable using ‘em.

Want one? Ozaki’s iStroke L retails for RM79.99 and available at all major IT retailers in KL.
