I couldn't help noticing that most of you with iPads attending the last users group meeting are still using your fingers to navigate around the touch screen. I've been an iPad and iPhone user for over a year now and fairly early on decided that my podgy (and sometimes sweaty!) fingers were not the ideal interface for these sophisticated machines, especially the iPhone where the alpha numerics are really difficult to pinpoint with any degree of accuracy.
I decided to buy a stylus and it made a huge difference, so my recommendation to all of you that are still struggling with the fingers is to do the same and invest in one. I bought a griffin which seems to be about one of the best and is reasonably priced. Their website is http://store.griffintechnology.com/stylus, & although they advertise them for about $20 you can get better deals through Amazon or Ebay.
It makes typing a whole lot quicker and it is also much easier to select icons and text.
Give the finger the finger!!

Hi Richard, I took your advice and ordered a stylus from ebay at a good price. You are so write about pudgy finger problems.
That is a good point Richard! I currently don't own either an iPhone or iPad, but plan on getting one to use with my other touchscreen devices!
