I will say they are clueless. Hardcore Palm users and Pocket PC users swear by the stylus. To me stylus is something of an annoyance. Why bother about taking the stylus out to tap on the screen, when the keyboard & scroll wheel & dedicated button can do the trick and make the device a single hand use device. Stylus forces you to use two hands and makes you slow. That's my take. Plus touch screen means its additonal maintenance. Have to protect the screen. With the Q I could slide it into my pant or jeans pocket (I dont wear super tight jeans ;-)). I can pull it and without disturbing my other hand which is still holding the coffee cup, check email, perform some quick actions.... 8)
