They're bashing the stylus

I've seen so many techies bashing the stylus on the Samsung ad during the Superbowl.

I miss using a phone with a stylus in many ways. My HTC Tilt2 had one -- and a slide out QWERTY -- and a touch screen -- with fully functional keyboard, as well. It was a very versatile phone. I can't do many of the things on my very capable Android that I could do on that phone with a stylus. I used to draw diagrams and write VERY quick notes with that device. It takes me twice as long to type quick notes or to even document impromptu meetings on the Android than it did on that phone. I could draw rough sketches to text to someone else. I could upload algorithms to my Evernote... all much faster than I can now on my current Android phone or tablet.

And... iPhone/iPad... okay, whatever. Same difference. I'm an Apple fan, as well (my laptop is a MBP). I would rather run Apple OS than Windoze any day. But... I do miss my stylus.
