Hi,

Does anyone know of a stylus that can be used for the Touch to make typing easier ect?

I've tried a DS stylus and no joy.

Thanks

I read a lot of stylus' don't work because the screen needs a finger touch to work. I read this on one person's ebay auction for a stylus for the itouch, go figure.

The iPhone/Touch use an electrostatic screen, not a pressure-sensitive one. A metal, conductive stylus may work, but would u use a metal stylus?

I read somewhere in Macworld magazine about a metel stylus for the iPhone. Go to macworld.com and look around.

There are a few styluses developed specifically to work with the iPhone/touch screen. Here's one that's gotten decent reviews (and it uses a felt tip):

Thanks for all the info.

I bought my mum the Stylus on the above link and its great. I won't use it loads, but for someone who was having difficulty its perfect.

Cheers.
