How do magnets work?

If you have ever used a stylus with the ipad you know it makes some apps feel brand new. Some apps (drawing etc) just feel better with a pen in your hand. The only con with using a stylus for the idevices is that theres nowhere to tuck them in like there is on the Nintendo ds systems. But these guys seem to have come up with a solution, its not perfect but it sure beats putting it in your pockets and losing it all the time. The solution is of course, friggin magnets. The place for it? smartcover magnets of course. It’s currently not more than a concept looking for funding, but i think this is a good idea.
