>If I was taking handwritten notes in class id be carrying around a notebook.

If I wanted to deal with a bunch of loose notes, flipping pages finding what I want, unable to categorize them w/o ripping them out or have a notebook for each project/subject, I'd be carrying around (a) notebook(s).

Stylus will give me the freedom to quickly sketch, make notes, mail/print them on the fly without scanning, make edits, project it on monitors and screens, etc etc. TBH, it's probably more handy for designers than developers in this regard.

Unfortunately there isn't a stylus that's precise and responsive enough for what most people want…the only product that comes close I've seen is iPen, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ipen/ipen-the-first-acti... unfortunately it is becoming quite a circus due to delays, refunds and complaints.

O well…
