I think I dislike non-stylus touch screens because I have poor circulation. I get cold easily which seems to make registering touch on a screen difficult. The last touch screen I had didn't have a stylus. I used a DS stylus. It worked well.

I don't really care for touch screens with or without a stylus. I really dislike the stylus though. I recall having to learn a special set of gestures to use my old PDA, which was absurd. Sure it worked well if you learned it, but the learning curve was a waste of my time. There's a reason I gave up and just tossed my PDA in a dark corner, PDAs sucked.
The N900 has one.
That being said, in almost a year that I've had mine, I can count the number of times I've used the stylus on one hand. I far prefer the keyboard as a method of input to anything that a touchscreen can do, and the zoom function on the web-browser is more convenient than pulling out the stylus if I'm having trouble hitting a tiny link.

You can always buy a used PDA cheap ... I've seen top models like X51v, iPAQ 210, hx2750 selling for ~$10-$20 on eBay and craigslist, 3-packs of styli for $0.99 more. Seems they're just not worth that much anymore if phone isn't integrated, but they've still got WiFi and BT. Sometimes they're even cheaper if the lithiums have died of old age.
I've been thinking of picking one or two up just to salvage the 4" VGA screens, but getting them to work (on, say, a bay-mounted display) would probably turn into too much of a project.
My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.
