Comment on Ask HN: Why is there no stylus with the iPad?

Comments

I'd love to be able to jot down quick notes & sketches. Perhaps Apple think this is more of a business user requirement, and the ipad is more a leisure device.

Plus the stylus would need to be a conductor or carry some sort of a charge to work on the capacitive screen.

So you could make a thin stylus if you put a charge on it? I guess otherwise using a conductor it would have to be the size of your finger.

Might be a good idea for a third party product?
