S Pen Stylus

With all the recent announcements of large display smart phones, very few offer any kind of input via stylus or pen. Samsung with its Note lineup has created a product that can be as versatile as any device out there.  Samsung's move into the phablet market with the original Note created a lot of buzz, both positive and negative. Nay sayers are mocking its large size, saying it is and was just simply to large of a device to be usable as a daily driver device. Samsung in listed the company Wacom who is world renowned for its digitizer input technologies, to help in the creation of the S pen. With great success, The original Note was born. It was a device on its own. A class of itself. It truly signified the beginning of something special. To see visit www.Samsung.com 

The Galaxy Note offered something that had once upon a time been successful only to slowly fade away with Palm and their products. With 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity also found in Wacom tablets, the S pen became an instant success for image editing to drawing to simply quick and efficient note taking and writing. In one word, to summarize the ability of the S Pen, " Versatile" would best describe it. Samsung has continued to develop it along with developers to increase productivity and overall usefulness.

With soon to be released devices like the Xperia Z Ultra and HTC One Maxx codenamed T6, the Galaxy Note Series still moves along with its S input and with the Note 3 due to be announced in early September, it looks as though Samsung will continue to dominate the market. Sony has introduced a methid using a pen or pencil input, as long as the tip is greater than 1 mm, it will receive input onto the screen. This works quite well via demonstration but lacks any true depth to what it could be. Sony has a good start with this feature but it lacks the core greatness of what can be achieved and what Samsung has been able to do.

Many people are eagerly anticipating the Note 3 and by the looks of it, it will sell millions more and forge Samsung forward and keep them in the #1 spot for a while to come.
