for starters, the iPen is a separate active digitizer - the PressurePen is \
essentially like a standard stylus with the addition of pressure sensitivity.

as i understand it, the iPen doesn't have any pressure sensitivity, just higher \
precision than other styli since it has a separate means of registering its location. \


there are two other pressure sensing styli out there, though:

and 
http://tenonedesign.com/bluetiger.php

the main difference, as i see it, is that mine will be considerably less expensive, \
and open source hardware.
