If you have ever looked down at that sleek iPhone or iPod Touch in your pocket and thought “wow, that thing needs a stylus”, soon after Brightonnet’s new BI-IPEN might just be for you. As capacitive touch devices, the iPhone and iPod Touch can not use a stylus. They need to feel the small electric charge from your fingertip, which plastic or metal can not traditionally supply.

The BI-IPEN is solving that using a special type of

conductive resin on the bottom of the pen. The device will allow you to touch and drag, but unless you are going to set the device down and use two of these poor boys, next no multi touch. It is available in both black and silver, but I could not find a price for the device, or whether it is even shipping yet.
