Samsung Releases Capacitive Touchscreen Stylus for Galaxy Tab Tablets


  • My main gripe about the HTC Magic Pen is that it’s only use for drawing or writing functionality, and you can’t use it, for instance, to tap on an icon to open an app or on a menu item to select a different menu setting
  • HTC Flyer ‘s HTC Magic Pen, which taps into the HTC Scribe functionality for inking, annotating, and highlighting, the Samsung Conductive Pen does not rely on an active digitizer technology
  • Additionally, at $20, the Samsung Conductive Pen is much cheaper than the $80 asking price of the HTC Magic Pen, though in the U.S. Best Buy is not throwing in the HTC Magic Pen gratis when a user buys an HTC Flyer
  • After owning my first Palm Pilot, my obsession expanded to include UMPCs, tablets, MIDs, smartphones of various platforms
  • However, the benefit of a conductive stylus versus an active digitizer like the HTC Magic Pen is that the conductive stylus works much in the same way a finger would work in navigating the Android OS
