HTC’s capacitive stylus revealed – not the revolutionary one
We have posted recently about HTC’s plan to release a capacitive stylus for the HTC HD2. While the entry at Clove is pretty clear, we have spoken to our HTC contact and they denied any knowledge of its existence.
They will therefore be pretty surprised to see the above device, which appears to be a rebrand of Dagi’s transparent stylus, already widely available via e-bay for example.
It is somewhat disappointing that the secretive accessory is not the one detailed in HTC’s recent patent, which uses magnets instead of an electrically conductive surface, but if you are desperate for a stylus it’s likely any version will do.
Thanks YouHTC.ru, who is the source of the picture.

I was thinking that HTC should buy Dagi or just pay to use their stylus the other day when you had the stylus post. I'm wondering why all the capacitive styli are bigger than the resistive ones though. if the only part that matters with the dagi one is that spot in the middle then why cant the same material be used in the tip of a resistive stylus?
They have a stylus that has a body similar to the resistive styli so it would fit inside a phone but it still has a massive transparent head.

I don't (want to) believe that this is the stylus they patented. No way, that'd be a huge disappointment.

The Dell XT2 stylus is awesome and has a tiny tip, no massive plastic thing. They should take a leaf out of their book!
