Has anyone used one of these stylus pens with an iTouch/Phone? - rgG - 05-12-2008

I did not know that there was a stylus available for the iTouch/iPhone, but here one is. They have a video showing it being used with an iPhone and it appears to work as advertised. It seems to have a rubber tip on the pen. Has anyone ever used one of these or something similar? I find the iTouch/iPhone's virtual keyboard hard to use, so this might be a good solution for me, if it works like it is supposed to. Here is the link:

Interesting if it works---It should also work on a trackpad wouldn't it.

I don't know that the technology of the iPhone (capacitance-sensitive) is the same as a trackpad (pressure-sensitive?).

Anyway:

Yeah, that could be handy if you have to wear heavier gloves, but for ordinary, daily use, my OEM digits are fine.

I wear a rubber finger cot.

Also cotton swabs are OK.

I wear gloves when I walk my dog, and dog walking is often when I want to make phone calls, and I hate dialing with the tip of my nose, so I'd be a good candidate for a stylus.
