I have search around a while, but they are all in its 'point' like the
foot of an elephant (compared with the stylus I'm using for my Openmoko
Freerunner) or compared with a fine pencil. And even if some fine point
stylus for capacitive would exist (don't know if this is possible at
all technically), at the moment we do not have a keyboard designed for
it, or do we?
