You misunderstand the purpose of this. It is not meant to replace the finger driven interface. It's just that certain tasks like drawing and handwriting work much better with a pen.
One problem with conventional capacitive pens/styluses is that the screen has no way to distinguish it from flesh. So setting your arm down can have unintentional consequences. Another problem is that those thick nibs can make it hard to see what you're doing, and also just don't give it a very pen-like feel. This device appears to solve these problems.

I'm not convinced. I've replaced handwritten notes for the past year using the iPad, but without using a stylus. And even for drawing I'm not sure that a stylus is better - people have managed pretty impressive artwork without a stylus.
