The LA Times reports that the ladies have complained about how difficult it is to use the iPhone touchscreen with their long nails, since the iPhone screen only reacts to an electrical charge in our fingers.

Nail-wielding women are demanding a stylus option for the iPhone. But many people assert that one of the iPhone’s best traits is its ability to function without a stylus, the often-misplaced mini-chopstick required by the Palm Pilot and other earlier hand-held gadgets.

Apple declined to comment about fingernails and the iPhone. In the past, the company has said that it’s “more natural to use the pointing tool you were born with: the finger.”
