I don't think that a magnetic stylus would be such a good idea,
because any movement of the pen would create a current into every
conductor existing in its magnetic field (freerunner's circuits
included). This current might damage or disturb the phone itself.
Instead of attaching the stylus to the phone, I think it would be an
extraordinary idea creating some kind of portable pouch/box with a
special place for the stylus.

actually thought about the stylus issue, and it's a small shame that
there isn't storage for the stylus within the freerunner itself. One
idea would be to make a magnetic flat stylys that should attach itself
to the back of the Freerunner? Its profile could be be shaped like
this |) with a place for a nail to get it loose, and pointy ends. This
way it would probably stay with the freerunner and it would be easily
accessible. I'd probably try doing something like this myself if I had
some experience in that field.

I like to have both a pen and stylus handy but hate carrying more than
necessary. I found a very small (10cm, closed) combo from Fisher
http://www.spacepen.com/Public/Products/BulletPen/Stylus/index.cfm?productID=74
It doesn't take up much space in my pocket, so I can carry it
everywhere. While I look forward to the multi-function stylus that will
come with my Freerunner (my cat loooooves laser pointers), this has been
a great tool.
