Cooool, that is a HUGE selling point for me, I like to draw, and with a proper drawing application this will be amazing!

I've been always hoping some company would release a tablet with a stylus, the nearest thing was the Galaxy Note and also the recently announced Galaxy Note 10.1

The issue with the ipad stylus, is the tip of the pen, it is just huge and doesn't seem to be as accurate as the S-pen in Galaxy notes.

Thats a big issue! :/

surely unless apple had added a real time digitiser to their ipad screen then its always going to be inaccurate, thats just a fact of life for capacitive screens, you'd need a resistive screen if you want drawing accuracy other wise.

Check out the Galaxy Note S-Pen, it is a capacitive screen, yet very accurate!

will do, next time i'm near a local town i'll try to check it out.


EDIT: just read up online, the s-pen uses a wacom digitiser so as i said its using a capacitive screen with a real time digitiser to give it the accuracy that a capacitive screen simply cant provide without one. (its like using a jopad with kinect rather than kinect alone)
