Nothing prevents you from using a 3rd party stylus (such as the Pogo stylus, which is pretty sweet) on your iPhone/iPad. In fact, I think they sell them at their retail stores. But they're not gonna ship a device with a stylus and neither will most of their competitors.
Likewise, they never said users didn't need copy/paste, they just shipped the first few versions of iPhone OS without it while they were still working on it.
- chwahoo 17y agore: the stylus, I absolutely agree that a 3rd party stylus will do the job, I was commenting on the suggestion that stylus-based interaction is necessarily a symptom of bad interaction design. In fact, although it is not fashionable, inclusion of a stylus with a tablet device would be a positive for me. (Note: I'm not advocating the old WinMo finger-unfriendly UI model)
- wtallis 17y agoI agree. A PalmOS or WinCE kind of stylus is probably inferior to multitouch, but a Wacom-style pen that can detect the position while the tip is hovering and has subpixel precision and pressure sensitivity opens a lot of doors.
