Record the sound of the stylus sliding in and out, and use those audio fingerprints so the system will match those triggers to the events you want.

Just buy a spare stylus.
It's easier, quicker and maybe even cheaper.

Next someone will request for a sensor to let you know your phone is still in your pocket?

I've noticed that there's a hole inside the stylus compartment, near the mic.
If you're referring to the hole at the other end of the stylus (next to the USB charger), i think that's for the wrist strap.

It would be nice to hack some way to add a sensor there to detect the stylus presence triggering the notification led to warn that the stylus is missing.
ATTENTION: I know that it's only a crazy idea, doable only if we have some free hardware input port on the device, and excessive willpower :P . (Also, I read the fun threads about one putting GPS on stylus and swapping the LCD for LED screen, and I know how "funny" people are here )
