Yeah, palm rejection is better than anything else because they simply don't register iPad touch events when the pen's pressure sensor is activated.

The underlying tech is that the pen is an ultrasound transmitter and the attachment has stereo microphones. It's then just a matter of basic trigonometry to get the position much more accurately than the iPad can detect a finger.




That's bad ass


Thanks man! what's even more badass is that the core IP around the ultrasonic techniques used in the pen was developed by the Israeli Military. Now that is BAD ASS!
