Hehe, we just talked in the german irc channel about that. The korean company cowon (digital audio and video products) offers a interesting small touchscreen device for video- and audioplayback. For their player the use a very interesting stylus which is about the same size as a guitar pick. The pick-stylus is attached via a (included) short loop and available as spare part for about $3 (in the states). And here's the link: http://www.cowonglobal.com/product/product_D2_feature.php Imho this would be perfect for the neo, because we have a mounting hole for the loop in the device :) Maybe OpenMoko want to order a bunch from cowons manufacturer (maybe FIC is producing?). It's a really great concept of a small and really usable (guitar players will agree) stylus.
