Steve Jobs: "Who wants a stylus?" - Apple - Steve Jobs at Macworld 2007 in San Francisco

Actually I am dying for a stylus! I just ordered both Pogo Sketch ones.

Stylus is great only on devices bigger than the iPad, but as an accessory only, for designers.

I can use my fingers on galaxy s2 just fine. then, do I need a smaller pointing device on a much bigger screen?

[climohu]

Once, what separated us from most animals was that we had evolved to make use of tools.

And then came Steve :)

[dimaisttoll]

Awesome!

[ebuTYouian]

At that time it was indeed revolutionary to use a capacitive display. (Actually only Apple had enough money to invest it in factories for exclusive, cheaply bought products.)

But today, both our needs and technology has advanced to the point of both active digitizer pen and touch. I think it will be announced as a great feature by Apple too, however I guess the styluses will cost like 79 USD. ;)

[OldSerpentOfSin]

I don't want a stylus anyways.

[triadwarfare]

What about samsung galaxy note? It's multi-touch plus it has a stylus...

[Fletcherismine]

why are there fandroids over here ?

[HachimitsuBoy85]

Apple always claims to be the inventor when they discovered something Samsung or HTC invented a few months ahead...

[Wallbreaker91]

Can´t believe such morons get the best comments here...

[mi875]

The asshole claimed he had invented Multitouch!!!

He should have claimed that he actually had invented the 10 pointers on the eighth day, Appleday, following Sunday.

[iAppleseedy]

@zhoulingyu You idiot. Have you heard Steve Jobs said "I invented the Multi-touch"?

[FreedInsanity]

@iAppleseedy I think his point was that Steve Jobs claimed Apple invented multi-touch, when in reality they had brought US military designs to the portable market. Jobs will always refer to their work as having brought multi-touch to the market, after this press conference, so it was likely a slip-of-the-tongue.

@zhoulingyu Hey wats your problem. Why dont you show some respect for sj. You wouldnt have a computer if it wasnt for him

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@zhoulingyu They did invent it (or so I think). There have been many other touch sensitive surfaces but they can only use 1 finger or other object on the screen at the same time. Apple invented a way to have more than 1 finger touching the screen at the same time.

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@pingguo2 Well, you are right to say Apple did not "invent" the such technology. On the other hand, they did win the patents for the technology, meaning they can say and do anything they want with it, because it is now theirs. This means stating they invented it isn't illegal or anything, and in some rights, they did re-invent it.
