HTC has filed a patent for a stylus that works with capacitive — usually known as finger-friendly — touchscreens. The trick is in using some sort of magnetically charged tip which would allow hard-core stylus fans to use it the way they did on regular resistive screens.
And while you may think this is kinda stupid — why would anyone want a stylus when a finger is all it takes — think about languages used across Asia. It’s way easier to “type” with a stylus if you’re let’s say Chinese. Or at least me thinks so. We’ll certainly watch this space and keep you guys and gals well informed. Stay tuned…
