Stupid thread?

Maybe :D

However, some people may not know that:

a) One end of the stylus unscrews to show a pen-like nib
b) The bevelled end pulls out to extend the stylus

Just in case .....

Funny how the stylus seems to have been an afterthought, with a way to attach it as a phone fob, but no place on the scroll to do so. What moron designs a touch device without a stylus & storage?

So it does! I feel a bit daft now, had it a fortnight and had to have this pointed out to me. Got no chance working out complicated stuff have I? :lol:

Don't forget, this device was born more as a test/prototype panel that carried on and went to market.

No - The bevelled end pulls out to extend the stylus in to an ear wax picker :oops:

Lol, I spent the first 2 hours of playing using the rounded metal end of the stylus before I realised the thing unscrewed and extended like the magic staff from Monkey Magic! :roll:

Now there's a program from the past. Although, I probably preferred the water margin on balance.

Think it was the plastic cloud that lost it.

I spent the first day using the pen from my HTC Diamond touch, then looked at the screen and thought I was scratching it with the pen so started using my finger

The I found the actual stylus in the box and thought it was like one of those camera carry loops you put onto a little bar on your camera to hold, but thought the metal end was smooth enough to use

Then after hours of using it, realised it extended and though that was handy, and continued using the metal end...

Then finally right at the end of the night I was messing on with the string on the pen and it came lose, Oh I thought, this unscrews, and then laughed realising that it was exactly the same under the screw cap as the HTC Diamond pen I had been using in the beginnning !
