This just kinda hit me a minute ago, but I think its a great idea on what to use to manipulate the touch screen on the NDS instead of using a stylus. Basically, there are going to be games where you are going to want to switch between using your right hand (assuming right hand dominance) from using the buttons (AB XY) to manipulating the touch screen, so that means you are going to have to pick up the stylus and orient it in your hand before using it. My idea is that you put something on your index finger resembling a thimble but with about an inch of stylus attached to it and wear it while you play normally. This eliminates fumbling around for a stylus and is always ready to go. Cheap, and probably pretty easy to make. Give me some feedback on this and let me know what you think.

The problem though is that using the face buttons will then become difficult because you have a piece of plastic around your thumb.

I don't think they'll expect you to change between both modes of control, eeven if they need additional buttons for selection etc., they put it into a GUI.
BTW, wasn't this guy called GrAyLaN?

This all obviously depends on the game, and i doubt developers would want to make playing games a hand exercise.
