The stylus is held in place by a very strong magnet – you basically have to yank it off using the tether because it’s so strong. It’s a good bit of design; works well with gloved hands.
The e-compass/gps feature is fun to play with – it gives you your precise latitude and longitude, speed and direction as well as offering an electronic compass complete with pitch and roll information. ‘Handy for ship-board inventory management!
