iPad stylus support

I'm writing this message as today after iPhone OS 4.0 preview I got really disappointed with Steve's answer to one of the question "if you see a stylus, they blew it". I really think this is wrong. I know it's been some time since Steve has gone to uni but making notes, annotations or writing equations without a pen isn't much fun!

Giving people a choice to buy or not to buy the stylus won't hurt Apple. I know that there are some alternatives not developed by Apple, but apparently they're not that good/accurate.

Surely adding a feature to PDF Preview or Keynote to support annotations as hand writing wouldn't be too much of a challenge to Apple's development team, or would it?

What are your thoughts? Please let me and Apple know.

Cheers

iPad, Other OS
