Plenty. Just search fleabay or similar for "capacitive pen". Ignore the "works with", a capacitive pen is a capacitive pen. You pay for quality/loooks.

I bought an iWant stylus from PCWorld. Piece of crap, doesn't work, can click but can't long-hold and/or drag.

i dont think you can write with those pens and these kind of tablets, they just werent designed for that, you can use a capacitive pen to do clicking and whatnot, but not proper writing like you would be able to on paper.

I can only vouch for using the Boxwave Capacitive Stylus

http://www.boxwave.com/products/capacitive...stylus_3779.htm

They're about £15 I think. They feel great in use, no fingerprints and more precision imho. The nubby bit on the piece of string can be put into the headphone jack to tether the stylus :P

(PS - I don't have one, just tried it a few days ago and thought it was rather good! Just wish we had Sketchbook Pro like the iLot have ;( we're missing out on some great iApps unfortunately!)

I have one from boxwave but rarely use it. Actually good for general use instead of a finger for keeping the screen clean or if you are using it outside wearing gloves or with dirty hands. But for actual use sketching or writing its pretty useless just not sensitive enough and tends not to give a constant line across the screen.

Talk of postal delays! Well, pogo, nogo, junk in other words. I did have luck with a griffin brand stylus, really good, I mean like your finger good. I tryed making a stylus, with a old exacto knife body and contuctive sponge it won't scratch, but it feels wrong, contact with the screen feels like chewing tin foil. Still worth the experiment!

As it stands, try the griffin.

Try this

See

for a video comparing it

with a pogo pen.

The dagi stylus is similar.

As noted capacitive screens aren't good for line drawing which is apparently why the chinese prefer resistive given the

keyboard unfriendly nature of their character sets
