+vs. stylus </title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<section> <p>Consider the use cases of the application when deciding whether
+to use finger or stylus control, or possibly hardware keys. Eliminate the
+need to switch from using a finger or stylus on the touch screen, to using
+any of the hardware keys. Design should enable completing a task with the
+same interaction method as it was started with.</p><note>If your application
+is intended to be used with the stylus, rather than a finger, try to present
+this clearly to the users from the top level. It can be frustrating to start
+using an application with finger touch, then switching to stylus, for example,
+if the components on screen suddenly get smaller. </note><p>Decide whether
+the application is to be used with a single hand, or two hands. Make sure
+users are able to use at least the most important functions with only one
+hand, even though the application is designed to be used mainly with two hands.
+ With touch screen devices, this means that the users should be able to perform
+most basic actions with their thumb.</p> <p>Applications that require the
+use of both hands include:</p><ul>
+<li><p>Applications that require the use of stylus</p></li>
+<li><p>Applications that are intended for landscape mode</p></li>
+<li><p>Applications that require data input </p></li>
+</ul> </section>
