oStylus capacitive pen is worthy of an oFace (video)

It's no coincidence that the stylus above looks like a precision instrument, it is. The oStyle was designed and hand crafted by Andrew Goss, a jeweler, for drawing on large capacitive touchscreens like, oh say, the JooJoo. While the benefit of the ringed-shape stylus over an opaque finger, foam-tipped pen, or meat-injected tube might not be immediately obvious, the video embedded after the break is convincing enough. Sorry no price or availability yet, all we know is that a limited production run is planned.

At the end of the day the device hes using this stylus with fundumentally doesnt believe in pen input at all. Because of this the OS will never be built around the idea of pen input... while it maybe nice to use this stylus on a free sketch app, it wont be apart of the underlying OS for things like commands and navigation to menipulate objects like the Courier concept videos show... it even lacks a pressure senitive screen. Until the OS using the stylus fully supports it, its worthless.

Looks nice, i wonder if they can make it with a smaller ring on the end.
