Heyya all,

Has anyone heard about the iPhone stylus? Apparently there's a company who makes em and its pretty cool.
I wonder if it is being sold here or whether anyone has it? Or, do you know how to make one?

Here's the link to the site- sory for not posting a picture.

http://www.tenonedesign.com/stylus.php

According to modmyifone, there's a new app- PenHW or someting along those lines- that allows for handwriting recognition for msging n writing notes.
And the stylus would be a cool addition to the iPhone for this purpose.

What do ya'll think?

Well handwriting recognition can do a lot of stuff other than typing words. You can type chinese faster than writing in iphone?

Well Apple did make the iPhone specifically for finger prodding only. Else they would've provided an option to buy a stylus with the phone.

And people going out of their way just to make a stylus for a product that a multi-billion company has researched and designed thoroughly could prove to be a bad mistake. I highly doubt that this stylus will be any good.

The selling point of the iPhone is it's finger-friendly touch screen which is industry leading. Eliminating the need for a stylus was part of the game plan when Apple designed this phone.

Now what would you do with a stylus when everything you can do, can be done using your finger. And furthermore, where would you keep your stylus? You're bound to lose it misplace it somewhere.

So for folks considering to buy one, I'd say avoid.

For folks who just ran into this topic, move on. nothing to read here.

And for everyone else. Have a nice day! smile.gif

that would be me tongue.gif

i dont think steve jobs would think we are 'under-minding' his finger-typing technology. he's got other things to be concerned about. lol. plus, i dont think its a step back. i think its more fun to be able to use both!

especially apps like Sketches. How does one sketch using the finger? it aint easy bro.. i cant tell u that tongue.gif

plus, i suppose writing hand-written notes will be easier.

My dad just bought my mum an iPhone. she's old! its not easy to type using the keypad with those stubby fingers and slightly bad eyesight. a stylus would sure help.. though not totally tongue.gif


p/s i love my mum. smile.gif

sooo, with this wonderful stylus, u just gonna be adding to the size of the iphone... not only that, means we cannot use our favourite cases cause the clip sure kacau. if dun use the clip, this wonderful item sure hilang..
whats the point ?
btw, it says the major benefit is to keep your fingers away from the screen..
so, how do we pinch ? what if i'm a frequent Maps user ?

no offence, but this is a dumb thing and even the product narration is useless..

and another thing, the moment u answer the phone already puts one big patch of oil and grease.. so, the point of getting this to avoid smudges and grease on the screen doesn't make sense..
