There are capacitative styluses (stylii?). I saw a few durin my last few weeks in Hong Kong. You can find them in the Golden Computer Arcade. At least they were advertised to work on the iPhone and iPT. Since it works on those, I'm going to assume that they're gonna work on any capacitative screens.
@stab244 i might be wrong, someone correct me if i am. it dont think capacitive touchscreens recogize input from small points. most capacitive styluses are big and blunt. which doesnt really make it any better than your finger.
@DaHarder To his defense, how much difference can there be amongst 23 stylus pens? The purpose of a stylus kinda puts a limit on product differentiation in terms of unique design features.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

@armodon
You are 'essentially' correct.
I have purchased 23 different styli for my iPad and/or Lenovo S10-3t, and the smallest tip is approximately 1/8th inch.
@DaHarder
"I have purchased 23 different styli for my iPad"
sounds like you have bigger issues to work out than a stylus
@paul34
Unwarranted Snark (on your part) notwithstanding...
When it's your 'business' to purchase and evaluate these items for future implementation, it's not an issue at all.

Examples: Ergonomics, Sensitivity, Construction, Durability, etc...
By your 'logic', I guess there should be just one world manufactures of pens and/or pencils given that they all essentially perform the same tasks.
There are notable differences in styli, and they do matter to those using them.
