Hi,
I use a Boxwave stylus. It's a good stylus but sometimes sticks/drags a bit on the screen

A solution I've found is to dip the end in a little pot of talc. It then glides across the screen lovely!

A little pot of what?

Question, does the iPad recognize a stylus as it would your finger, because my wife has a app that puts the photos in black n white and u draw what part of the pic u want color and sometimes the finger may to big to get too detail and we've noticed u can't really anything but the finger

Talcum Powder.

A capacitive stylus works the same as your finger, but is better for drawing.

Type 'Boxwave Stylus' in Amazon search box.

I been using various one from 'Stylue-R-Us'. Little bit of a learning curve, but works great. I've been using their stylus since last November and will never go back.

+1 on Stylus-R-Us. I have two and never use my finger. It glides smoothly if you apply a light touch. I use it primarily for note taking.

I personally use my nose as I'm short-sighted (and have a BIG nose) ;-)

If you use the sylus without a screen protector, have you noticed any scratches from the stylus on the screen?
