Stylus Recommendation

[Nicanor Babula]

       I am not an electrical engineer either (I'm a highschool student) 
and I think that it's more important to get the phone ready than 
problems like "where the stylus will be attached?". In the end the 
freerunner will be a developer and not an end user phone. Besides I 
don't know how much the OpenMoko team is considering our suggestions (no 
offence).
