I know I'm taking the bate here but it seems to me that this is a product marketed towards artists and is clearly not a stylus for operating the device which was common practise before the iPhone was launched for the reason of mitigating the problems with resistive touch screens that were widely used at the time. Calling this a stylus seems a bit like calling a paintbrush a chisel, and by that I don't mean that it's better than a chisel I mean that it's a completely different tool.
