Dear NXTHacker, if you are reading this, I was wanting to ask, are you allowed to use an un-used AAA Battery?? I would also appreciate it if you responded back to this comment. Thank you.
For better responce from the device use a charged cell but because of the metal body it should work.
This is really cool! Do you know why it works? I never really understood styluses.
Its because batteries acts like a extended finger. the electric charges from your hand goes into the battery and creates an electric current.
The tablet or phone will sense that and therefore thinks that its a finger:)

sorry, but dat dsnt seem to be the reason. i dont kno the actual reason , but i hav RnDed. and i found that, the screen responded to any and every shiny object.. also, i would really like to talk to u about the matter,! contact me if u read the comment!
