<div>Hehe, we just talked in the german irc channel about that.</div>
<div>The korean company cowon (digital audio and video products) offers a interesting small touchscreen device for video- and audioplayback.</div>
<div>For their player the use a very interesting stylus which is about the same size as a guitar pick.</div>
<div>The pick-stylus is attached via a (included) short loop and available as spare part for about $3 (in the states).</div>
<div>And here's the link: <a href="http://www.cowonglobal.com/product/product_D2_feature.php">http://www.cowonglobal.com/product/product_D2_feature.php</a></div>
<div>Imho this would be perfect for the neo, because we have a mounting hole for the loop in the device :)</div>
<div>Maybe OpenMoko want to order a bunch from cowons manufacturer (maybe FIC is producing?).</div>
<div>It's a really great concept of a small and really usable (guitar players will agree) stylus.<br><br> </div>
