Apparently iPad Pro only:

Apple Pencil is a white digital stylus that follows Apple’s typical minimalist design, with a digitiser in the tip and a Lightning connector on the other end. It should last ‘for hours’ on a single charge, but when you’re out of power you can plug the Pencil into the iPad Pro’s Lightning port to draw some extra juice from your tablet.
Again, the Apple Pencil is an entirely optional accessory, but it's easy to see graphic designers, artists and other media professionals will be keen to pick one up. It should cost $90 in the US, meaning UK customers can expect to pay around £75 when it arrives in November.

Although the rumours had suggested the iPad Pro would have a 4K resolution display, that turned out not to be the case. The 4:3 panel instead has a 2,742x2048 display, with a variable refresh rate to save energy when the screen isn’t showing any moving images.

When you're using the Pencil, the iPad Pro increases the amount of scanning on the surface of the display to improve accuracy. The Apple Pencil has sensitivity sensors so you can press lightly for brief strokes or harder for wider strokes. Apple claims it feels like a true writing or drawing instrument.

It sounds like they're using light pen technology. So without variable scanning it won't work as well (maybe at all?).
No eraser or trigger buttons.
