Are any problems associated with using a Stylus as an input device instead of a mouse?
Thx

Yeah, using your stylus too much will lead to the bad habbit of pointing with a pen on your laptop display ;-)

I have noticed in the past that some of the expected AWT events aren\'t generated when using the Stylus on the Zaurus. Which events don\'t appear to fire? What will the impact of this be on any applications when writing on the Zaurus.
