yeah... and how about even a combination of a pda stylus and a mouse?
like, hold down a button and you can enter graffiti text with the
pen-mouse. release the button and you move the cursor with the pen-mouse.
wouldn't neccessarily replace keyboard in any way, except when using a
browser etc where only some minor text entry every now and then is
required, so it might me more comfortable to enter the text slowly than to
switch to the actual keyboard...
then again, what would a pen-shaped mouse look like so that it would be
relatively easy to grab when having to switch from keyboard?
