Has anyone tried the Fingertip stylus from Stylus Central? http://www.styluscentral.com/stinfinstyl3.html

I just found another fingertip stylus - http://www.truetip.com/index.html. Anyone tried either one?

It seems odd to me. I don't think I could use one of those after using a regular stylus for so many years.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I wouldn't use it for everyday writing. I would mostly use it at the gym and the grocery store where I need a stylus off and on for tapping more than writing.

I just use my finger for quick taps.

Would you really put that nice ring thing on before you start your work-out, or before you ask Mrs Jones for a pound (~500g) of potatoes?

I have the truetips, and they work great...but I never remember to take one or find it when I need to do something. It works well if you're doing something that requires a lot of tapping...enough to justify finding the truetip and working for a while in that mode.

I found that they get in the way if you're only doing "light" tapping...kept taking mine on and off during normal activities. But the function/form works well.

Whenever I need a quick tap or to write one or two characters, I just twist my hand and use the tip of my index fingernail.

Heh, just grow your fingernail really long and file it down into a point.

That's exacly what I do. Works just fine, and doesn't leave fingerprints. Ech!
