Stylus = niche use for most users.
Finger interaction = preferred in most cases where stylus isn't required.

@LM: wet wipes! put one in your jacket pocket, backpack pocket and [fiancee's] pocket, pronto!

I don't think wet wipes can take out the oil used in cars. =P. Not to mention that means I then have to remember to carry wet wipes. That was kinda the point of getting the N900 for me. To reduce the amount of stuff I carry =P. So instead of throwing my n800, cell phone, wallet, keys into my pocket. I throw my N900, wallet, and keys. Now your telling me I gotta remember wet wipes?

Though I guess I could get her to carry it when I'm with her..

BTW, check the message I quoted from you for my edit.

I have noticed that with certain iPhone games. As well as Nintendo DS games (which is why I use the stylus with them).
