If they can do one shaped like the rod from Phantasy Star Online and hand paint it. I'd consider buying.
Edit: Upon visiting (and having to register to the website...lame) All you can do is pick one of their lame designs and have them put your initials on it. I didn't even see the Wiimote shaped one offered for sale, nor any of the Pokemon...maybe I missed something, either way..not even worth the 10 dollars they're asking for these things..too bad.
@OMG! Ponies!: Coincidentally enough, that's what I used for the longest time when I lost the stylus for whatever iteration of the palm was around in 99 or 2000.
@henhen: The thing is, 10 feet is all you need unless you're diving, and then you probably need more than 33 feet. So I suspect that, on this, Oly decided not to spend the money to go that extra 20 feet. Make sense? Also, those ratings are conservative, and the thing can probably submerge farther than 10 feet with no problem. For an example of a waterproofing that works far deeper than it's supposed to, see Das Boot.
i bought one of Ten One's Pogo Styli for the iPhone. it's a bit smaller than the Sketch, has no clip, but comes with a clip-on that wraps around the backside of the iPhone to clip the stylus to. it was some special for a forum i'm a member of offering it for $12. the Stylus really isnt worth the $20 they're asking for it, but the Sketch for $15 is since it's a more usable length.
i'll probably pick up a Sketch, donate the Stylus to a friend or something, and just keep this in my laptop bag.
it really does work and works very well, i will give it that much.
I still prefer the design of the Sony readers, but that huge-ass screen and Wacom compatibility speaks for itself. If someone managed to hack up a custom firmware for this thing, it could be quite a beast of an E-reader.
@TheLostVikings: I agree. This is more in the realm of 'buy an ebook reader, get a tablet PC'... if the processor can handle it. Students would love a tablet where the battery lasts all day, and they can write their notes on their etextbooks. There would be much fun running in a mesh, as well.
Judging from this, I would say that the screen is an eye catcher, but judging from this article it seems that nothing else about this reader really makes sense. Having "Audible" & "Music" folders when you can't connect speakers or headphones, a so-called touchscreen that doesn't respond to touch, fully charged alarms when there's no good power, peanut butter no jelly, ham no burger...........
@fusiongt: Imagine that is schools. Wow!! I like it! Students could bring home their assignments and work on them all in one. Nice. Colour mine, please. ☺

I love a nice sized screen as much as the next guy, but price is way too high and/or feature set too small.
