Can I just use a stylus with my iPhone, for easier typing?

There is a stylus for iPhone and iPod touch, called pogo stylus, it's not too expensive as well: http://www.tenonedesign.com/stylus.php

The key to typing on the iPhone is this: Stop looking at the letters that are being inserted; only look at your keys. Then type as fast as your fingers will allow.

Before I explain, jut try it... No peeking at the results. Just the keyboard!

So, here's the deal: The iPhone has an awesome proximity-based spell check. What that means is when you fat finger a letter or twenty the iPhone will automatically show you (but not directly since you're not looking at anything except the keyboard!) possible dictionary matches for words which use letters CLOSE to the ones you hit. This is very different from normal spell check which does alphabetic proximity.

So, when you screw up a word, the iPhone displays its best guess as to what it thinks you meant and then when you insert any character that is a word boundary, it drops that replacement in place. After using your phone for just a little while, it's *incredibly* accurate. I actually type nearly as fast on the iPhone as I do on a regular keyboard!

So, the key to effortless typing is to trust that the phone will do the right thing. Right in line with Apple's basic design principles, don't you think?

yes you can if you buy the right one like the pogo stylus and you can if you go on this website
