I was on a short holiday over the weekend and picked up a couple of things that have helped with this problem. One is a Blue Tooth keyboard, Cygnett is the brand. It's pretty close to the same size as the Nook Color and works better than I expected with CM7.1. I didn;t have to install any software to make it work and it has a good 2 to 3 ft range and rechargable battery.
I also picked up a samsung stylus, because it was the only one I found that was under 20 Euro, and it cost way too much for what it is. I think it's interesting that there are a lot of very durable looking Styli out there with a non replacable and apparently very fragile soft foam rubber tip. I don;t expect it to last long, but I am also not too concerned because while it does work, it does not work very well.
I am also a little dissapointed to see the recently announced Nook Tablet has the same screen. I don;t think they have figured out the smaller tablets really need a good stylus to be very usefull. I have yet to find anything that compares to the digitizer on the Dell Axim PPCs, which I still use every day. They may be out there, but not in my price range from what I have seen. I can wait, the nook should last me a while.
