I have been wondering why the FreeRunner has a resistive touch screen, which
I prefer because I like the greater precision of a stylus than my finger,
but lacks a stylus holder.  My FreeRunner, which I ordered from SDG Systems,
included a stylus, but I have to keep the stylus separate in my pants pocket
because the FreeRunner lacks a stylus holder!  I bought my FreeRunner to
replace my Nokia 6103b cell phone, which has no touch screen, and my Palm
Z22 PDA, which has a resistive touch screen and nice stylus holder but is
not a phone.  Because of my Palm Z22, I expected all devices with a
resistive touch screen intended for use with a stylus to include a stylus
holder, but the FreeRunner has no stylus holder!  Why?

PS: Instead of buying my Palm Z22 PDA, I now know it would have made more
sense to buy a GSM phone to use as a PDA without cellular service so I could
continue using a single device if I needed cellular service, but I did not
think I needed cellular service when I bought my Palm Z22.  I was actually
not even sure if I would use the Palm Z22 as a PDA because I completed
elementary/primary + high/secondary school with paper organisers, but I
found a PDA far better than a paper organiser! :)  And yes, I know it is
strange how computers have been my primary interest and how I have spent
most of my free time with computers since about grade 7 (or earlier), yet I
did not use a PDA nor have a cell phone until after high school. :)  I also
loved playing driving games since I was 11 or younger, but did not get a
driver’s licence nor learn to drive a real car until I was almost 19.  I
live in Canada, so I could have got a driver’s licence when I turned 16!  (I
assume the age to get a driver’s licence is the same in all of Canada?  It
is 16 in British Columbia, where I live.)  Anyway, enough rambling. :P
