Yes it’s a stylus.  As much as we have tried to veer away from them, I have to admit that there are times when I would like to have a stylus handy.  Like on a Canadian February night at the outdoor hockey rink.

HTC is bringing us the capacitive HD2; for those who don’t know – capacitive screens don’t work with a normal stylus (the plastic kind). They work by measuring a change in capacitance, (electrical charge) in your fingers or with this special stylus.  The one flaw I see is, there is no place to keep the stylus, I am sure I can figure something out. And if I do lose it, htcaccessorystore.com will gladly replace it for 17 quid (about $28).
