Yes, this must be the first stylus device I have seen devoid of a stylus slot. Even my decidedly unmobile graphics tablet has a stylus slot! Still, I suppose it is a bit late in the game to be redesigning the chassis of out Neo. As to the smaller, neater stylus: that seems to be a good idea more apt to be able to fit in some cobbled adherent stylus dock. Perhaps I should try one of my old Palm stylii.

I had not thought of this; though with the lanyard, it may actually be easier to rig a permanent place for the full stylus. Perhaps a loop feed-though? A long, thin leather or rubber pocket running part of the length of the lanyard? > And I did take its batteries out, far too dangerous, and > with no protectors on the buttons when it is carried with other things. \ | / \|/ --*-- Oops. /|\ / | \ > I also MUST have a way of carrying spare phone batteries, because this > USB charging so far seems to require a PC. This, at least, should be a simple proposition. Whatever case is designed should easily be able to have a couple of slots for batteries so long as this is meditated before-hand. > When someone finds a suitable > charger that will run off a car battery please tell me.

'Tisn't the dogs what worry me. Of course, this is probably a regional sensibility.
