Snack sausages sales are on the increase in South Korea because of
the cold weather; they are useful as a meat stylus for those who
don't want to take off their gloves to use their iPhones.
As soon as Apple sees how iPhone and iPad users want to use
something other than their fingers, they will come up with a stylus.
But, then again, maybe not, for God has spoken and the wedded masses
cheered as the device was smitten and cast asunder, banished forever
to the land of the silly unimaginative ones.
The iPhone/Touch/iPad are designed for fingers [or meat]. There are many
reasons why I don't want to have an iPhone, but for people to insist
that it "needs" to have a stylus are asking for them to change a
successful design for an arbitrary reason.
Do you have a iPhone or Touch? If not, lack of a stylus isn't important.
There are plenty of other smart devices that you can use with a stylus,
just not an Apple device. Those who were frustrated that there's no Mac
netbook have hacked netbooks that run OS X [Hackintosh]. Those who have
Macs and need to run Windows have emulators for that.
This looks like an opportunity, not a defect. Search for "iPhone stylus"
and you'll find dozens of choices, just not one from Apple. How do you
do multitouch with a stylus?
