Full FeedMock all that the iPhone is by buying a touch stylus!
Because of the iPhone’s capacitive touch technology (which measures your finger’s electron flow), the use of a normal stylus was highly frowned upon by the device (and, in fact, didn’t even work). Those days are over. A Japanese company has now developed a stylus that mimics this sort of technology, making it very usable with the iPhone. This stylus is made of metal, and even has a SIM eject tool built in. Better yet, the tip is flexible, so dragging with the stylus is easy on your phone’s screen.
My only question for this would be, why? The whole point of the iPhone is that you don’t need a stylus and don’t have to worry about losing it. As long as you have fingers, you are good to go. However, that brings me to conradictory point. This stylus may be perfect for those people who have large fingers, like to wear gloves, or have long fingernails. This stylus would make using the iPhone much easier for those people.
What do you think? Do you know anyone who would love something like this?
