We kinda thought that the iPhone’s interface was designed to be used and mastered without so much as a fleeting moment of longing for a pointing implement — once you get past the keyboard’s growing pains. anyway — but we suppose the automatic mental association between touchscreens and styli can be a tough one to break. Enter Ten One Design’s meticulously engineered $24.95 Pogo Stylus, which the firm says functions “like a fingertip” to integrate seamlessly with the finger-friendly UI used throughout the iPhone and iPod touch. Imagine that! What’s more, it’s manufactured from aluminum alloy in your choice of three stylish colors, which is awesome news since it’s prominently featured on your iPhone’s side in a custom holster. If only Ten One had put a screw top on this thing so that we could fill it with pixie dust, whiskey, or $25 in shredded US currency, we’d be in.

As if the last two reports about a 32GB Zen from Creative weren’t enough for you, here’s another for a lazy Saturday. This time, Crave claims to have an unspecified confirmation that a 2GB and 32GB Zen is coming, and it’s coming in flash form. Would that make this the highest capacity flash PMP out there? It’d certainly be pipping Sansa to the post.

Got a third-generation iPod nano? Looking for a new set of earbuds, preferably with noise-canceling abilities? If so, look no further than Radius’ new set, which plug right into the dock in order to extract all the juice they need to block out extraneous clamor. The radStrap canalphones are expected to ship in black, green and silver, and feature a neck strap, on / off switch for the noise-cancellation, an aluminum housing and frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. Check ‘em out next month for ¥8,980 ($82), but don’t get your hopes up for a bonafide US release.

Cowon’s been teasing us with its A3 personal media player for some time now, and it looks like the whole charade is now finally nearing a close, as the company has just announced the long-awaited US launch details for the PMP. According to Crave, the player will start shipping in early December, with it setting you back $349 and $399 for the 30GB and 60GB variations, respectively. If you’ve got a bit more money to spend, however, you may do well to consider Cowon’s just-released Q5W player, which adds some WiFi to the equation, among other things.
