So what? What is with this a priori assumption that 'finger touch' is some kind of holy grail?

Frankly I can't see how apps such as myPaint - even things like xword, and much of the 'regular' www (i.e. not jacked-up to suit iphones) can be even remotely useful without the >>>option<<< of a stylus input... ah but, whatever... finger touch input rulez doods!!!

Blech. This thread is yet another waste of time and ever more precious energy.
