Apple Just Might Build A Stylus For Ipads After All

Apple’s latest patent isn’t one you’d expect; at least not if you think back to Steve Jobs’ thoughts about tablets with a stylus. The patent is for an “input device having extendable nib,” which sounds like a fancy stylus to me. In fact, the patent illustration example found by Apple Insider shows a device much like an iPad with just such an accessory, ironic given the now famous quote: ”It’s like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it.” Of course, if this patent is used in an actual product, it won’t be a simple stylus.
