For instance, the Irex requires a stylus—an ancient and fading navigation device—for some operations. I think a person of Mr. Mossberg's maturity and reputation ought to think twice about calling anything else "ancient and fading". |
I always thought that he was on Apple's payroll. What is wrong with using a stylus? I actually still prefer resistive screens on a phone. Ever tried to hit a link in Safari on an iphone? Not unless you zoom in first. Are resistive screens responsive and work smoothly? The new ones are more than good enough, thank you. And on a reader stylus only system is exactly what I want, screen clarity is not affected by the touch layer and the screen doesn't get dirty from fingerprints.
