It got me thinking about the Sketches app.

I know that the iPhone will not recognize stylus input to the touchscreen, only finger input. I presume that somehow it recognizes heat signatures (maybe I'm wrong, I hadn't given it much thought).

I find that the Sketches app is not particularly sensitive when I try to make quick notes and no matter how carefully I try to write, it still looks like I was writing while I was driving on railroad tracks.

Then I thought, if the iPhone had a stylus, it would be significantly faster to type.

Is there an adventurous programmer out there that could create an app to allow the touch screen to accept a precision stylus input?

Just curious

P.S. And, as always, if this is a repost of a previously discussed topic, I apologize.
