The touch pad pencil

I am not sure whether this is funny or serious, it looks funny, but I have a feeling that this is not joke and the people that are behind it are serious.

Basically what it is for is for use on the touch pad on a laptop computer, it is supposed to be easier than using your finger, whereas I would have though using your finger is faster and more accurate, but that’s just one point. The pencil is made from some sort super space age silicon, which feels like the skin on your finger to the computer.

Priced at around $15.00.

Actually, hehe, I should be embarassed to admit this but: I use the little 'eraser head' sized mouse in the middle of my IBM laptop and can't use a touchpad to save my life. This would be awesome for me, since I'm much more skilled with my Graphire pad which uses a pencil than with using my finger on this stupid built-in pad!

I hate using the laptop touch pad and use an external mouse whenever possible. But I think this product has a huge downside. You would have to lift and keep aside the pencil repeatedly between typing sessions on the keyboard and using the mouse. That would lead to a royal waste of time and great inefficiency.

I always use an external mouse when possible as well, as I hate the touchpad. That said, though, I couldn't see the benefit in using this pencil thingy. No thanks.
