Styli suck pretty hard. Can you point to a comparable capacitative screen phone that predated the iPhone? I'm sure there are probably a couple, but most of those probably had some serious shortcomings which Apple's did not.
- wvenable 16y agoCapacitive touch screens didn't even exist in 2002. The other shortcomings older phones have: slower processors, lower resolution screens, etc.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoStyli seem to work pretty well for Nintendo with their DS. Much easier to see what's going on without a finger in the way. Sold over a 100 million of them and made ridiculous profits too, which seem to be the Apple fans' metrics of choice when it comes to success these days.
- nanairo 16y agoI don't think the stylus is really that bad. In fact it may be better in some situation. But if you really think it's so great, then let me ask you this: why does no smartphone now come with a stylus? I am not saying that finger is better. But Apple believed it was better and worked with it. Personally I think it's an alternative. But why has everybody followed Apple like sheep? Can nobody else think with their own brain?
