TechCrunch: In Defense of the Stylus

Devin Coldewey:

…despite being a third-class citizen in our world of capacitive touchscreens, being publicly ridiculed by Steve Jobs, and generally being considered a nuisance, the stylus isn’t something we should relegate to the company of floppy disks and CRT monitors just yet.

I can’t believe I’m linking to a TechCrunch piece, but I actually agree with most of it. A stylus can be extremely useful in certain circumstances. Ever tried signing a contract or endorsing a check with your finger? It comes out looking like a five year old got into a pack of magic markers.
