Instead of buying the Flyer, can you just buy the Flyer's pen and wait for xda developers to install the apps/ROM from the Flyer to enable inking on the tab.
Do you think this is possible?
That wont be possible, because the pen of the flyer uses specific hardware, that the SGT doesnt have.

Instead of buying a new dish washer, Do you think we could wait for a XDA dev to create rom to flash on our Tab to use instead?

isnt it just a normal capacitive pen? The demos of it look crap anyway like every other capacitive pen, laggy, they are only useful to poke the screen.
If I remember the touch panel is a specilist part which can detect the difference between the stylus and a finger. still a rom port would be nice (the tab may be slower but it has a good gpu and the same res screen)
Has anyone used this yet with there nexus s.http://icontrolpad.com/

yes i have it. Works awesome nexus can connect bluetooth human interface devices HID which means you can even use wii mote.
I was thinking about getting one besides emulators. Is this compatible with gameloft games too

Does the phone fit well in the device? If I have an hard shell will it still fit in, or it might be too tight?
Sorry for the partial necro...
I'm looking at one of these for my atrix, but im curious as to how much success its reasonable to expect with standalone games (i.e. not emulators). As far as i know its supported natively by a couple of emulators, but to get it to work with anything else (inc. standalone games) requires the use of something like Bluez IME which involves some sort of keyboard emulation as i understand it.
Does any one have one? Have they tried to get it to work with, say, dual stick shooters for example? I read one post somewhere which suggested onscreen sticks still fire regular keyboard events, so i guess the question is are they all mapped the same way or can the icontrolpad be remapped for each game...
I'm looking in to the Note and it looks like a phone I'd use a lot. As an artist i use my hd2 to use as a screen for my ref photo's as I'm painting. So a bigger screen is a welcome bonus.
Now ofcourse the s-pen is nice too, as i use a wacom tablet to make sketches and digital paintings on my pc. And the note will make that process more portable (BIG bonus)
Take a picture make a sketch and mail it to my desktop.
Now for my Q; are there any apps available that are compatible with the s-pen? I don't want to rely on the Samsung stuff. There are nice drawing apps like sketchbook mobile from Autodesk but are they supporting the s-pen or do you know any other similar apps that can be used with the s-pen sensitivity?
I know a tablet or slate would be preferable but they are more expensive and less portable for a quick sketchup onsite.
Thanks for your time.

Sketchbook mobile doesn't support S-Pen from what I have tried it, even after the recent update.
ICS should help with the situation:
"Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich includes native support for smartphones and tablets with a digital stylus Google has confirmed, including pressure recognition"

However, from the looks of these forums and the pretty decent buzz, i'm betting we will see a couple, especially when there is nothing to be had. And I would imagine an app for this would be fun to make. It's a pretty unusual new twist to Android.
Then again i've been wrong before......uh, actually that's more like once in blue moon i'm right
Canvas Pro (and lite) supports pen pressure.
I really like what the S Pen brings to the phone.
And I think it has a lot of potential.
Do you think any new actions could be added, such as a triple tap or gestures (while holding the button down)?
For example, holding the button down and drawing a music note anywhere could launch the music app.
Or holding it down and saying the app you want to open.
Isn't the s-pen supposed to be smart? If so, I think the ability to just pick up the pen and start drawing gestures/pics/etc anywhere(w/o holding the spen down) would be cool. Also, when you start to draw with the spen, it would either detect a gesture, a new drawing, or use a gesture already programmed to open an app and give you a convienent list of options on the bottom of the screen w/o being in the way of what you're trying to do. Just my 2 cents

does it only work on the note or would it work on other samsung phones such as galaxy s2?
Nope, since the pen isn't a capacative stylus.
swipe up opens the menu, but I would like a swipe down to open the notification bar (sooo faaaar awaaayyyy!). Maybe a swipe right to be anything you want.
Overall it should be possible to configure these four (up/down/left/right) do do what you want, in any case.
The pen works on my nintendo 3ds lol.
Thats because the 3ds has a resistive touch screen.
I sure hope it will eventually be possible to configure actions for the pen gestures with some roms...
Samsung has a pen API kit, so hopefully we will see both big publishers (Adobe) adding pen functionality to big apps as well as small app devs putting out specialty and one trick pony apps. If you search my posts, I put together a summary of the tech behind the spen that Wacom built.

S-pen API can be masked behind the official ICS API for pens.
If you load the ICS leak ROM for Note and install Photoshop Touch, it supports pressure sensitivity and pen hover over screen.
All without using Samsungs API
We can expect many better apps when ICS drawing/note taking applications start to appear.

Cool! Having a cursor to locate where a drawing line actually starts would be very nice. Much better than "try.. undo.. try.. undo.. try.. undo.. ..."
Is there any other evidence of the Pen hover ability of the S pen? Your post is the only evidence of such a feature so far.
I was thinking that pen hover with the S pen should be possible if the wacom digitizer is the same as on a tablet pc.
Pen hover would be useful for Tooltips, showing the URL when hovering above a link, some flash games rely on the mouse hover...
But even if the S pen have such a feature I suspect only a few apps will support it, unless ICS has some built-in functionality like Tooltips...

I saw it also in the ICS Rom leak threads. Forgot to try it before I flashed back to RocketROM but multiple ppl confirmed it is legit. Someone said it as registering like 5mm off the screen.
I doubt there will be any new S pen development under GB. Much of the development time would be wasted since ICS has much more to offer in wacom support.
S-Pen hover ability tested

I can confirm that Photoshop Touch supports S-Pen hover ability. Have instaled it on my Note with chinese leaked ICS. So so so mutch easier to work when you see where you will lend your touch. S-Pen is detected eaven in about 7mm of distance Photoshop can FC sometimes but it maybe becaose of leaked rom not being stable... it has almost all functionalities of regular Photoshop, just wonderful app!
Now tried stylus pressure, it can control size or opacity, it seams that there are "just" 3 levels of pressure...
Before the note I had the Nokia n900, which had a resistive screen. To zoom in you could just draw circles clockwise or anti-clockwise to zoom out. Would be nice to be able to do that on the note with the s-pen also.

But you can just double tap to zoom-unzoom ._.
I also hope more and configurable gestures will be integrated by Samsung....

While there's much about Nokia's microB browser that other makers could learn from, the screw-in gesture isn't something I moss much. Two-finger multitouch is easier and simpler I feel.
Really, really looking forward to having a hovering mouse pointer on the Note. I mean, this is probably the greatest advantage of the Wacom digitizer technology, not availing of it is such a waste! Being able to see where your line will begin is an enormous help for drawing. I draw on tablet PC using the same technology, and this is what I miss most of all.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get the pointer in Gingerbread?

I'm on Stunner 1.4.19 which is AOPK based and I can confirm pen hover and pressure sensitivity in Photoshop as well so no Samsung framework required, just ICS. I get a force close when using pressure sensitivity though after a few strokes.
Hi guys, if the Note's screen inhibits Wacom's drawing tablet technology, would it be possible to make an app to connect it to the pc and use the note as a drawing tablet?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Probably no. This is one of the longest shots in the world.
On the old Htc universal I was using it as a drowing board. I can't see why it is inposibile for gnote to do that ?

Unified Remote basically does that. However, it doesn't support the digitizer features (pressure, button etc.). From what I've read, to do that, access to the Wacom drivers would be required. Easy to see why Wacom won't grant that.

I believe we have come across many such restrictions on this forum and have worked our way around them. I hope this is taken up by a dev, as it would increase the productivity with the Note.
