It is all fun and games until you are the person who can;t comment on blog posts cos because you are a very intelligent person who can’t use their hands. Hurrah for the fact that Boing Boing mentions what some of their readers need just to consume their blog. Good solutions like this mean that you could be talking to anyone when you post here.

It's an accepted name for exactly this kind of device. It's not marketing jargon to advertise their product but the equivalent of calling a wheelchair a wheelchair.

A 2 pack of capicitive stylus pens can be found on the internet for $3. Sounds like a job for (abled) makers to lend a hand!

I bet there are at least a few smooth operators out there with the oral prowess to manage the multitouch functions.

Waterproof it so they can also sip coffee through a straw at the same time and you’ll make millions.

this being perfect for disabled folks makes it immune to all internet ridicule up to the point where people with working arms start using them in coffee shops so they can blog on their laptop while texting on their phone at the same time
