Who wants a stylus? You have to get 'em, put 'em away, you lose 'em, yuck. Nobody wants a stylus.'
So let's not use a stylus. We're going to use the best pointing device in the world.We're going to use a pointing device that we're all born with - born with ten of them. We're going to use our fingers. We're going to touch [the iPhone] with our fingers.
