Maybe an answer to the stylus problem. Expensive though. I don't have my DVP8 any more but i bought a stylus that works on my Fujitsu Tablet and also works on my ipad. I think it is called the adonit Jot ..click here to read about it. You can also see videos on youtube.com .. Basically it connects tablet to stylus with bluetooth. Wish i had my Dell so I could say for sure how it works ...
