The last few iterations of the Note series has a pretty good pen. Does recognize position, force, and tilt... to some degree... no pun intended (lol). Also has a lot of nice software features for cropping images, writing on screen shots and such. Thanks for the heads up. Will have to check out.

(I haven't gotten any tablet for myself yet, although I'll hopefully have a Jolla tablet sometime soon... But I did convince my brother to get a Note.)Still, I don't see Samsung as in a position to convert the entire industry by itself; everyone seems to slavishly follow Apple's lead. So, it's great to see Apple finally moving back towards something I'd be interested in...

I guess I've been ignoring Microsoft so long, it never even occurred to me to check. But yeah, the iPad Pro really does look almost like a carbon-copy of the Surface Pro, doesn't it. (With the obvious advantage that it doesn't use Windows 10. )Looking at the two stylii, I've still gotta put the Apple Pencil ahead of the Surface Pen: (a) the Pencil has a tilt sensor, and (b) the Pencil has no buttons. I've used a Wacom stylus off and on for a long time now; it has probably the most comfortable button you could put on a stylus, but it still starts hurting my fingers after a few hours of use. Better to use something besides the stylus itself to record clicks...

Surface Pro 3 has an n-trig pen, not a Wacom pen. Surface Pro 3 has the pen by default when you buy the SP3.

I'm all for Apple looking for 'new and initiative' ways of using their devices. Maybe next year they would release the IPhone Slider?

Anyway, I just had to mention this. One of my biggest annoyances with the Steve Jobs era is how he managed to turn all interaction with mobile devices into finger-painting. Now, hopefully, we can start to get back to precise interactions with mobile computers.
(And yeah, I'd love to see a Sailfish device that incorporated a precise pointing device.
