i may be dumb, but my daughter just told me her nintendo ds stylus is conductive and should work on a capcitive screen.

The DS stylus (like most) is made of plastic and will not work on a capacitive touch screen.

Edit: just to confirm this, I tried my DSi stylus on my Zune HD and it did not work.

anything you currently have in your home will not work as a stylus. Moral of the story, don't listen to 6yr olds

unfortunately he's right... on both points...

i just hope HTC can pull through with their new stylus design to work on capacitive's!

yea. i should have tried it first. i saw this though. i dont like either really. they dont look to awkward as sometimes i use an upside down pen on my phone while im working. the tips are weird on dagi ones. they mention gloves with conductors in the fingertips too.
