Don't know what you mean by the "titanium stylus". Are you referring to
the one that came with the 2x00, or a third party stylus?

About the only source I know of for replacement styluses at this point is
Small Dog Electronics (www.smalldog.com); they have some eMate styluses,
which DO fit in the 2x00 slot. They're cheap, too.

Yes. Tap the "star" icon that's blinking at the top of the screen. A
menu will pop up. Choose the "SpeakText" item on the menu. A slip will
appear. Tap the "Stop" button.

Not that I am aware of.
