LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing.

So even though the stylus with the Note (or other products) do similar things, as long as this one does something different or in addition to, it doesn't matter--it can still be patentable, right? The question is--does Samsung have patents for their stylus, or do they have licenses for the stylus tech. they use?

I just find it funny that Steve Jobs unilaterally decided that the stylus was the dumbest idea for hand-held devices because of its clunky and imprecise nature--even cut the product line that was using it after he was ousted from and came back to Apple--and then now that he's gone, there's talk of the stylus (possibly) coming back again. Except if you look at the date on the application, it's from November of 2010. rolleyes.gif

I don't see how, except for script-writing and artwork-type tasks, why a stylus would be a popular method of input for multi-touch devices with good UIs. More importantly, I can't fathom styluses being popular for phones--they require your other hand to be physically occupied, and they are easy to lose. I hate to say it, but I'm with Steve Jobs on that topic--styluses are the substitute for a properly-designed device and UI.

Why does everyone keep referencing Samsung like they were the first tech company to make a product with a stylus?

WiaCom has been making devices like this for years for the PC and Mac platforms. They even have one with an actual screen that you use a stylus on.

The only difference with this is that it's used on an iPad, its really nothing new.

So because Samsung has repurposed (note: not invented) a product that's been around for over a decade (and still in use by Wacom and others), Apple is "stealing" the idea from them? I hope you can see the irony in this.
