Name and summary say it all. The
thing would look like a thimble, but
would comfortably fit over either
your right or left thumb. Somewhere
near the tip but at a comfortable
angle, there is a hard plastic
stylus tip. You hold your PDA in the
palm of your hand and use the
thimble's tip
as a stylus.
I "collect" personalized license
plates while driving, and holding
the steering wheel with my knees
while I input grafitti is getting a
bit hairy. One-handing it would be
significantly safer.

Adjustable so that I imagine it will fit your thumb. [st3f, Oct 21 2002]

Might I suggest that $20 would get you a dictation-type tape recorder, which would be safer yet? |
|

Croissant for advancement of thumbs |
|
| |
I thought this would be for playing records...which would have been impressive. |

Bum stylus for use in a seated position by the wriggling of the gluteus maximus. |
|

memorise and write it in a notepad at the next lights.
I spotted a really good one the other week! hah. |
|

This would be great for navigating existing info like address book or calander.
But... most good PDAs will have a "Transcriber" type feature, and writing with my thumb!... mmm... don't think so! |

Scribbling on a PDA while driving is such a bad idea that I hesitate to annotate. If I take out the driving part of it and just look at alternate ways of scribbling on PDAs, there is such a thing as a finger stylus (see link), and I see no reason why you can't stick this on the end of your thumb. |
|
| |
that Finger Stylus is too large and bulky. It looks like it has a belt attached, what the heck? lol |
|
| |
I want a thimble sized cover for my index finger, maybe made of nylon so it can roll up to fit inside the pda. |
|
| |
For various reasons (this being one of them), I keep the thumbnail on my right hand a little long. :) |
|
| |
BTW; You don't want to do this in a car anyways; it's still awkward for text entry. Awesome for navigation tho. Better to get a PDA clip so that it is secured to the dash of your car and get another stylus with a rope. Would serve you better for this task. |

I love the idea, the pencil stylus is retarded.

The company in [st3f]'s link has discontinued that item, does that make this unbaked again? (WTAGIPBAN) |
|

//...does that make this unbaked again?//
Just as much as turning off the oven turns bread into dough. :o)
Anyhow... [link updated] |

I hate it when I think of something cool, and it's already in there a generation ago :) |

//I "collect" personalized license plates// I lived next to a fat man who drove a gold BMW 5 series with the plates "FAT GIT". Style. |
