I don't understand the debate about the stylus. You can buy many models of styli for the iPad. The fact that the thing doesn't ship with a $5 peripheral is hardly a detriment. In fact, it's an advantage - you get to pick your style of stylus - and they are cheap to replace. I bought one for $5 that goes on my keychain - if Apple made that it would be $30.

So, tell me again why there is any debate about why there is no stylus? Because there isn't a form-fitted hole for a proprietary styles? Because apps aren't designed for styli (the ones that need them are)?
