>>> TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY
Stylus
A stylus is an input pointer which is used
> D
for the operation of touch-screens, mo-
> GB
bile phones or PDAs.
The stylus consists basically of a plastic
> F
pointer with a softer plastic core. The
sleeve is hard and can be gripped and the
> I
softer core emerges at the tip and is de-
> PL
signed to touch the screen as softly as
possible (i.e. without the danger of
scratching the screen).
The stylus is more accurate than opera-
tion using the fingers, since only the thin
tip touches the screen. In addition, dirty
marks on the screen caused by finger-
prints are avoided.
