A:Answer Take a Pen Cap or other SOFT plastic item with a fairly small end to it and see if the screen reacts. If so your device probably has a Resistive Touch Screen and practically ANY stylus will work. If it doesn't work, try STEP 2…
Try a Pencil Eraser. If this works but a plastic tip doesn't you probably have a SAW, or Surface Acoustic Wave Touch Screen. If this doesn't work, try STEP 3…
Lastly, if nothing works but your finger (as with the iPhone/iPad) you probably have a Capacitive Touch Screen, which really limits your stylus options (for now…).
