Funny. I wonder how old you are... Maybe this is a clash of cultures or something like that

To me, stylus is the normal thing that hundreds of thousands people use every day with their PDAs and feel comfortable with. Using fingers on a touch screen is the new way to do it, so for me this is what's geeky and what scares people away sometimes (remember the 2 people I wrote about who bought themselves a stylus for their iPhone).

So thinking of mass market appeal, the stylus would be the natural choice for a device like the tablet thats too powerful for the few functions that can be controlled with fat fingers.
