    Hey guys, is it possible to use a stylus that will work with a tocuhpad? I want to hand draw in photoshop but dont want to spend 100 bucks on a pad when i already have a touchpad. I understand that a touchpad senses your capacitativeness and that is why it wont sense a pen. Anyone know of a capacitative stylus or how to make somthing capacitative that i can use as a stylus? Thanks

    Currently, none that I have heard from.

    The 'Beta' ASUS Eco-book notebook has an enlarged touchpad which doubles as noted, but its not a standard or anywhere near one yet.
