Are they serious? Company plans iPhone stylus
Though the iPhone was specifically designed to be used without any input device other than the human finger, one third-party company thinks it can do better with a stylus (purportedly to be shipped later this month) that " eliminates tapping mistakes and saves your fingers."iGiki plans (unless it's a joke) to unveil the "TapRight" in mid-August, an iPhone-specifc stylus uses the company's "TouchField technology to produce quick, accurate, and targeted taps. No more relying on the iPhone to correct mistakes or correcting them yourself."The developer's current offerings include a number of Web-based games for the iPhone, including Outer Wars, Sink or Swim, Block (a Tetris clone) and more. It appears this would be their first product offering.No pictures, pricing or other information has been revealed.Feedback? info@iphoneatlas.com.
however, it can't seem to learn dchow when i'm trying to enter it into a user ID field. it'd always offer me echoe, or i can only choose E or Q and not W. i'd have to accept what it offers, and then backspace to delete the offending character with W. this seems to happen only when i'm trying to enter dchow in a user ID field.
anyway, back to the stylus. it might be useful but i'm concern that an over zealous user poking at the screen might damage it. for example, too many pin point jabs at the screen might crack it.

- Now all they have to do is find a way to make the tip of the stylus soft, so it doesn't tap the glass to the point of either annoyance or breaking.
