The reason there isn't a good fine tip stylus out there is because capacitive touch screen aren't that accurate with anything smaller than a finger. The good news is that Apple has filed a patent for a pressure sensative screen which may change the whole ball game and open the iPad up to a whole new level of posibillities!


In the meantime the best "fine tip" stylus that I have found is the Adonit Jot Pro Stylus. It feels like using a pen and has a point but there is a clear capacitive pad on the bottom. So it's not as accurate as using a pen but it's the closest you can get with a capacitive touch screen.
