new press release from Samsung Africa: ( not much confirmation elsewhere yet)

Samsung has announced the upgrade of the S-pen stylus for the Samsung Galaxy Note with added features to increase the user experience.
The S Pen that is currently available with the Galaxy Note is as an input device that enables quick and precise key in into the Galaxy Note which acts more like a real pen than the usual stylus accompanied with smartphones. The upgraded S Pen SDK 1.5 has the same great quality of functioning as well as added features to enhance the user experience on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
“We have had a phenomenal reaction to this product since its launch locally in November 2011, and as this product is a first of its kind, regular updates and software upgrades are extremely important to keep us at the competitive edge,” says Paulo Ferreira, Head of Mobile Product and Software Solutions at Samsung.
The new and improved version of the S Pen includes features such as, improved zooming - the improved zoom affords users increased precision when using apps on the Galaxy Note. Control over the S Pen and scrolling is of top quality that will ensure easy browsing and allow for an even more enjoyable user experience. The updated S Pen also now offers a panning feature that grants the ability to change the coordinate values of the ‘CanvasView’. Another added characteristic of the S Pen SDK 1.5 is the capability to change and to customise the background of letters or notes sent from the device.
“This is a great new feature for users to express their personal style and flair. Not only does the upgraded S Pen offer users all the exciting features above, but it can now also select the Pen and eraser to ensure more flexibility and control for all types users,” concludes Ferreira.
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.
Engadget's review of the note 8 included a hands on video where they showed an optizied version of Flipboard and Awesome Notes developed for s-pen support. Samsung has also introduced a new reader setting to help reduce eye strain from reading e-books. I wonder if we'll see these pushed out to our note 10.1 units. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/23/samsung-galaxy-note-8-preview/
Hi there.
I got a hold of my new S4 yesterday like a lot of you and I'm noticing there aren't apps that take advantage of the advanced features that the Galaxy S4 provides.
I thought I'd start a thread to post Apps that take advantage of things like the ;
barometer, temperature sensor, IR capabilities, etc..
Sensor box
Found a neat program that will give you some sensor data including the Barometer and light sensors...
"Android sensor box" by IMOBLIFE INC.
Anyone seen anything that can be used as a universal remote control? "Peel" really falls short.
Most of the time you will not use any of those features. They are more useful to samsung for its markerting.
