Because the ipad requires an electric charge to run through your body, so it requires a special stylus for the ipad.. or as some japanese people used : a sausage (for real 😀 )
Its for the same reason you can't use it with gloves.
You can make a working stylus using a metal rod (or better still a pen or pencil with a metal shaft) simply by attaching a conducting rubber or foam tip. The anti-static foam that you get when you buy a microchip works fine – just superglue it to the end of your shaft (Matron! *said in a Kenneth Williams voice*) and you are good to go!
how come nobody uses a stylus on the ipad?
I use one for drawing / painting.
App of choice? ArtRage Mobile.
Stylus? BoxWave.

I take it you've never used an iPad?
… it seems to make less sense w/ a music app to use a stylus; multi-touch is so much more important w/ music apps.
