I searched on Google "multi touch stylus" and clicked on the first result that came up.  It was a link to Amazon; the product was called "iClooly Multi Touch Stylus Pen for iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and other Mobile Devices (2nd Version)", and it was a whopping $14.95!  Well, I wouldn't buy a stylus for that price - it's just not worth it.  So, I thought of a way to make my own out of a soda can and some other supplies.  It doesn't take very long either; don't get tricked by the number of steps there are.
