    Hi, as the subject says, I'm looking for a stylus which will work for signing signatures for use on release forms on iPad and iPhone. great if it's available in Dublin, otherwise online. Thanks, Hugh

    I could be wrong here, but I don't think a stylus will work with the capacitive touch screens?

    Wrong ish(right too!)... It seems you can get a stylus but they're not actually a stylus, more a smaller finger tip...

    They seems to work well enough but I'm not sure of availability...

    Can you virtually sign a release form?

    HMV do a Griffin stylus for €17 and works on iPhone 4 and iPad. They have a cheaper one but it says on the box only compatible on 3GS and iPod Touch 3Gen but may work on the iP4 and iPad

    I got one of these and it was completely useless. It didn't so much as manage to make a mark on the drawing apps I tried it with and it felt very wrong to be dragging a sharp point over the screen. I'd avoid if I was you.

    If it works on those it should work on anything with a capacitive screen.

    I'm about to start using a piece of software called EasyRelease (terrible name :D) which you can digitally sign, acceptable to Getty and some other library, forget the name. Smart little app if I can get the right stylus.

    A very cool. Well, I can vouch for FocalPrice above. Buy a good bit of stuff off them. About 10 days to deliver but you'd be pressed to find items cheaper else where.
