Has anyone experimented with the use of a stylus pen or other blunt object for quick input?
Surely you can use your fingers far faster than a stylus? I know I can.
A bit off topic but do the iPhones main competitors such as the Pre also have capacitative touch screens? Meaning they also do not work with standard styluses (styli?).
I don't know for sure about Palm, but I have an a friend with the G1 so I can confirm HTC devices do NOT have the capacitive screen. Another reason I have a Windows based cellular, and an iPod touch and not the iPhone.

I can use my finger faster too, but if I am typing something long, such as a post here, I use my stylus as there are almost NO fat-finger mistakes to correct. With my finger there is more typos in a longer post than I like. None with a stylus.

I suppose a stylus is thinner than your finger so it must be easier to be more precise in where you place it. The keyboard can be awkward occasionally especially when you have to press letters next to each other.

But google "iphone stylus" and you'll find some other designs as well.
