Want a cheap stylus for your iPad? It only takes a pen and one of those metallic chocolate, cereal or protein bar wrappers. The Mosspuppet goes all DIY to explain how to do it in this step-by-step video guide.
More information is coming out about HP’s webOS tablet. Yesterday we learned it may be called PalmPad, and today it seems that the tablet’s screen will recognise a digital pen. That’s added functionality, right there, and an important iPad differentiator.
This review was typed using two sausages on my iPad.
Oh, Thrustmaster. What heavenly delights have you brought us this time? Oh, the world’s heaviest DS stylus? You shouldn’t have. No, really. What’s that? It’s a projector as well?

For many touchscreen applications, fingers are your best bet. For others, the precision of a stylus is required. Microsoft shows how using both in conjunction might be the best option of all, delivering users to digital scrapbook nirvana.

The Pogo Sketch stylus promises to add tablet-like functionality for laptop’s multi-touch trackpad (YES, including the Macbook). While it probably isn’t the same as a real tablet, it beats drawing crap with your finger.
If we didn’t know that this was done by a user, we’d swear that this touchscreen Eee PC was made by Asus themselves. The video shows a super sensitive and responsive screen, flicking quickly up and down on a web page with either the finger or stylus. On a laptop of 10-inches or smaller–what we like to call “tardtops”–a touchscreen fits just perfectly. Why get a Kindle when you have a light, touchscreen laptop that can be carried with you and supports lots of colours? Nice work jkkmobile. [JKKMobile]
