Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

An idea from back in the 1990's, famously known as one that Steve Jobs hated, was for Apple Newtons to come with a stylus, similar to what the PalmPilot had. When the iPhone came out in 2007, the company still couldn't convince Jobs that a stylus was needed. Jobs insisted that they would get lost, and that “yuck, nobody wants a stylus”. Now, a recently-granted patent is suggesting Apple is going to give it another try by creating a “communicating stylus” that could record movements, transmit text and images, and work with both mobile devices and PCs.
According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) first noticed by AppleInsider, the prospective pen can activate when it detects it's been picked up, has accelerometer sensors and motion sensors for tracking movement, and transmits data either in real-time or in timed intervals for battery saving (Tech Crunch).
The alleged device can capture and send handwritten notes or drawings from one device to another. The on board sensors allow for writing on a variety of surfaces, from a table to air. It could be quite useful for digital note-taking in school, and meetings and businesses in general, thanks to the ability to reflect those notes and images on separate displays in real-time (Venture Beat).
Could this make the iPad more attractive to businesses? That's what Apple thinks. The iPad is highly useful in business settings, but overall sales for the tablet are slow right now. Venture Beat says Apple has been hearing from businesses that wish the iPad would become more prevalent in businesses, but desire an easier way to enter information. We could not only be seeing the stylus thanks to this reason, but a bigger iPad as well. Both are just speculation. As far as the stylus, who knows if or when we're going to see it. For now, all we've got is some rough sketches of its design.
