One of the first accessories I like to buy for any new device I get is a replacement (fits in OEM silo) Pen stylus. I know the Touch Cruise is new, but has anyone seen any stylii that are pens and fit in the device?
TIA!
Hi - the TC comes with a spare or Expansys(UK) are selling some here:
http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=159608&atype=Stylii
Though showing estimate delivery of 9 days from today...
Thanks for the reply. However, I am looking for a combination pen-stylus that fits into the existing silo slot of the Cruise. The link you provided was for stock replacement stylus which is not a pen.
Oops. Sorry. Will post again if I find what you need.
doubt you will find one, the size of the stylus on the touch cruise would surely be too small to fit a combination pen/stylus

Is such a stylus available for the Artemis? If so then it would NOT fit the Touch Cruise because the bit of black plastic at the end is a different shape but it would demonstrate that such a thing is possible because the overall dimensions of the two styli are identical. (I just slid my Artemis stylus into my Touch cruise and the diameter fits perfectly, the overall lengths are identical, and the only reason the Artemis stylus won't push fully into the TC is because the plastic bit at the end is longer relative to the overall stylus length compared to the TC stylus so it fouls the edge just at the last 5mm or so of travel into the device.)

haven't got mine at the moment but how thick is the stylus? 2mm, cant see how a mechanism for a 3 in 1 would fit in such a size

Definitely bigger than 2mm. I just held it up against a tape measure and the diameter looks to be just a shade over 3mm, probably about 3.2mm.

still think its not thick enough even at 4 mm, have you ever seen anything like this that is less than 1cm+

I have gotten (in the past) a 3-in-1 for every device I have had except for the collapsible KJAM stylus. One will become available for the Polaris. The stylus is not that much different from other devices.
Re my previous message, this will almost certainly NOT fully push home into the receiver on a TC (because of the different profile of the black plastic thing on the end) but it IS an existence proof that such a device is possible within the form factor of a TC stylus.

That's what we need. I am sure some US distributors will pick this up soon. HTC just needs to get the damn device out there in more quantities.
They will deliver to the us but it wont be cheap, probably about $60

Ouch. I love my pen-stylus combo's but not for 60 bucks. I'll wait 'til a US distributor comes along.
If i see anything ill let you know, am i right in thinking that the Polaris stylus is the same as the orbit 2 stylus
that looks sweet...can't wait for it to be avail. in the US!
i'm sure by this summer when the TC starts to become more popular over here we will start seeing alot cooler accessories for it.
It's just a matter of time...the waiting game def. sucks tho

If an Orbit 2 stylus is the same as an Orbit 1 then no, the Polaris stylus will not push home fully into the Orbit housing. Read my previous posts in this thread (including the one on page 1 of the thread) for details. If Orbit 2 stylus is different to Orbit 1 then I don't know.

Wow I love that!
I saw an interesting looking iPad stylus in PC World/Currys today in the UK. It had a small tip. It was reasonably price too. I was wondering what others experience of using this stylus on their TF was like if anyone has tried it.
Some other user experience below.
http://www.avforums.com/forums/ipad-accessories/1461926-good-cheap-stylus-found.html
You can't see it but from my inspection it looked like the tip is angled for more precise writing and has a flatter side for just tapping.
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/iwantit-stylus-pen-black-for-iphone-ipod-touch-07110176-pdt.html
I bought one of these styluses when I first brought my transformer, initial impressions were that it was ok, there is a bit of friction when using it for handwriting but it is ok for drawing.
Because I wanted it for handwriting, it was not good enough for me so I purchased one of the Boxwave ones, this one was more accurate and although not as thin as the PC World one, worked better for handwriting.
I am now using the Wacom Bamboo Stylus and this one has the tip of the Currys/PC World one i.e. the size is small and about the same size but has the smoothness of the Boxwave. The design of the Wacom is far better as it feels like a real pen in the hand although they could have made it slightly longer. Price wise the Wacom is the most expensive however, after wasting money on all the other styluses that I have tried, I dont think I will be buying another stylus anytime soon as this one fits the bill nicely. The Wacom one works flawlessly on the Ipad but there currently are software limitations on Honeycomb that do not allow the stylus to work as smoothly as they do on the Ipad. I am sure the software on Honeycomb will improve over time and be on par with their rivals.
I'm gonna give this one a try when my TF comes back from repair. Assuming my TF is all good to go that is.

Looking for a thin nibbed stylus for handwriting purposes on my TF101. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Try Adonit Jot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275690&page=31)
I just ordered it.. hopefully it will be as good as the reviews say!
Has anyone tried this one
http://www.amazon.ca/Proporta-Quillit-Stylus-ASUS-Transformer/dp/B005CDRDRS
looks like a good quality stylus. For someone living in Canada, this is a good option.
For the jot pro you have to pay a lot of shipping fees.
I bought the stylus listed at the top and modified it to fit inside of a hollowed out pen tube. It still sucks IMO, it doesn't pick up as well as a larger tipped stylus, and still doesn't feel natural.
Anyone know of a decent stylus I can buy that will register on the Gen8 screen?

Search some "capacitive stylus" on google, i think you'll find (i don't know a precise one if it was your question)
I use this one :
dealextreme.com : retractable-touch-screen-stylus-with-3-5mm-earphone-jack-anti-dust-kit-for-iphone-3gs-4-silver
but my finger is much better than any stylus
which gen8 device?
for the 28, 32, and 43, which use resistive touch screens, anything will work. i personally have nice results on my 32 using a nintendo DS stylus. they're also cheap, so you don't have to worry about losing them occasionally.
for a 70 or 101, you'd want a capacitive stylus as the above posters suggested.
I've read a lot of reviews and this one seems to be one of the best.. I've haven't bought yet, but plan on getting this one:
Kensington Virtuoso Touch Screen Stylus and Pen
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Vi...R&s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309071754&sr=1-2
These stylus are capacitive stylus if you want to search for others.
Also only for the 70 and 101.
This one looks pretty good http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-Stylus-iPhone-touchscreens/dp/B0041D0K1Q
Searching for one myself today i found this sick one :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&NR=1
(the DIY pen is not the sick part, but it looks fairly good)
I myself just ordered a kensington virtuoso stylus, and will see how it reacts when it gets here.

I like the DIY pen. I'm gonna start cutting up some old antistatic bags and see how it works. I have a couple pens, and neither can do dots. It will draw a line, but just pressing to the screen without moving doesn't draw a dot. As soon as it stops moving, it stops inputting. Horrible for Angry Birds, because it lets the bird go as soon as you pull back the sling and start aiming.
I think the A43 digitizer is plastic (which is bad, from the point of view of recognition--glass produces better accuracy), and what's worse, a softer plastic than any of the PalmOS devices I've used. I tried my Clie stylus, and it scratched the screen. I searched for a soft stylus among all the stylus-based devices we have at home, and finally I started using the spare stylus from my wife's HTC TouchPro2. The tip is nice and pointy, but also soft enough not to scratch the screen (or at least not much?). You can probably buy OEM ones somewhere online.
I wish I had a good way of attaching it to the device. Currently, I use the leather sleeve case, and I just tuck the stylus in--it's thin enough that it fits.

Can't say for the A43, but the A101 has a ton of space inside to make a stylus hole.
I picked up the GNP 12.2 relatively "cheap" for $449 refurbished by Samsung as a easy, portable laptop replacement for my HP2000. All I really do away from my desktop is email, web browsing, Facebook, Tapatalk, Youtube, Netflix, and a handful of things that Android handles well, and it works great.
My current case is a $15 eBay cheapy that I am not happy with... What I am looking for is a recommendation for a case that has a keyboard and can be used as a plain tablet case in your hand, lap, or stand up on a table w/o the keyboard, about 50/50 usage each way, without completely swapping cases.
I was hoping for an option under $50 and was looking at the Khomo keyboard case with swivel or a Moko BT keyboard case on Amazon.
Any recommendations on something else or anyone using either of these cases?

I can highly recommend the Logitech Keyboard pro. Ok. It's expensive but it's worth every cent!
Have a look at youtube, there is a test.
I am very happy with my Logitech pro KB.
In combination with the Logitech ultrathin touch mouse the Galaxy is a perfekt office.
For keyboard cases specially designed for the Note Pro, the Logitech is great.
Still, I would love to have a keyboard with trackpad since many times the combination of Keyboard and touch screen is very inefficient and I don't want to carry a mouse.
There are generic Chinese cases with keyboard and trackpad but they look cheap to me (not only in the price).
Asus has a great BT piece called ASUS Transleeve Keyboard 90XB00HP-BKB090 or 90XB00HP-BSL070 that comes with a folding cover to place the tablet at the correct angle but I don't know if it will fit the Note Pro well.
Also, the keyboard is intended for a Windows tablet so maybe the multimedia keys will not function properly in Android.
I want to fidn a nice stylus to use in place of the spen. I am not looking for anything fancy, just something that is comfortable, and has an eraser.
Prior postings recommend the Bamboo Create, the lp170es.
However, i cam accross an intuos stylus, model lp180es. Seemingly, same setup, higher model number.
Lp 170es http://www.amazon.com/WACOM-Bamboo-...&qid=1415381577&sr=8-10&keywords=wacom+stylus
Lp180es http://www.amazon.com/Intuos-Pen-To...8&qid=1415381577&sr=8-9&keywords=wacom+stylus
I cannot find any direct cmoparison between these two, and all information seems to show they hve same pressure levels, both have eraser, and only difference is look and a slight bulge on the grip for the lp180es.
I ALSO READ THAT THE INTUOS STYLI DO NOT WORK ON NOTE TABLETS, AND THE LP170ES IS GHE CREATE BUT THE 180 IS INTUOS.
Any thoughts? Anyone tried either or both?
Will the tablet recognize the eraser?
Intuos won't work, that much I can confirm straight away. Intuos tablets use an entirely different kind of technology. And because I've tried it with all my Intuos pens.
There is a special Bamboo Stylus Feel for Galaxy Note. I don't know if the other Bamboo Styli work, as I already own that one.
