Has anyone got any feedback on using finger styluses (stylii?)?

Like the "Truetips" :(http://www.freescreenprotectors.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=F&Category_Code=TS)

Can it improve your inout speed a whole bunch?

Thanks....

hmmm, just my thoughts, since I have not used these. I would be surprised if they sped up text input, but I could see it being handy for using a PDA in a vehicle, like for navigation software, no more fumbling for the stylus or getting fingerprints on the screen.

Don't you people have fingernails? :wink: Just amazing the forethought put into creation. All those years ago, providing for ad-hoc PPC navigation.

I was thinking of picking one of these up for my thumb if they'll work as it is a pain to keep taking your stylus our and putting it back for something like a button game, I would just use it to prevent from getting finger prints.
