3-in-1 Stylus

Anyone seen a 3-in-1 stylus for the the HD, i.e. a stylus with a built-in pen that fits in the normal silo. I had one for my Polaris, it was very good from Proporta, but no-one seems to have them for HD...
Yeah, also looking for one, did not find anything on Ebay. Any ideas out there?

[Q] Stylus for Gen8 Devices

Anyone know of a decent stylus I can buy that will register on the Gen8 screen?
~Jeff
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 :

(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.

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard + case?

I understand the Jetsream is a fesh product at this point with few accessories.... but
Its coming down to me purchasing an HTC Jetstream or Galaxy Tab, and my loyalty with my EVO has me swayed one way. My roommate has a Galaxy Tab though with the Zagg Keyboard Case. Its pretty hot. It bumped up the functionality of the Tab quite a bit.
If something as sleek was released for the Jetstream, I would be willing to wait in order to get it. Does anyone know of such an accessory? I like the way the Zagg case for the Tab is very hard and protective and turns into a stand as well. I want to see this same concept for the Jetstream.
This is a deciding factor for me. Anyone have any news on Jetstream keyboard cases?
Thanks!
this "may" or "may not" Help
So i check out my Favorite Tech Accessories manufacturer [Logitech]
and found two keyboard that may solve your Prob.
Logitech® Tablet Keyboard for Android™ 3.0+
Logitech Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 10.1
Both can be found in on the Logitech Online store under "Tablet Accessories"
BTW in theory any Bluetooth keyboard & mouse would work just need the right
Case + Mouse + keyboard and your all set
The more I've used the tablet now, the more i like the virtual keyboard. I may wait on a hard keyboard.
i modded the $80 (at Walmart) iPad2 Kensington leather case that includes a Bluetooth keyboard. Of course had to do some cutting for the camera, cutting so the volume buttons were not being pressed, etc. Works great.
Remember... when looking at the REAR 8 Meg camera (not screen side) there are two small holes openings at the top of the unit. These seem to be light detectors for the camera, so you need to be sure the case does not block those two small diagonal holes.
Also, the center spline has enough space to velcro the HTC Scribe pen device for storage.

Other Pencils for TPT?

Is there any other pencil available for the TPT? Like a pencil which looks like a real one? I tried with a wacom, a lenovo tablet and a no-name pencil but all of them does not work... i could not find any at amazon, beside the original one.
This one should work,>>> http://www.visionobjects.com/en/webstore/myscript-stylus/description/

nah, i need a replacement for this thing: http://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-0A33887...ZO6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351069911&sr=8-1
is there any pen that will work on the display? as i wrote, i tried several differnet pen's but no one is working...
The one HTC put out, I think it was the Scribe, works with the TPT.
Take a look at the pen for the Fujitsu Q552, as it is the same N-Trig gen as our Thinkpad The older Q550 pen will also work, but I am told that is half a gen behind what we have, but the tip also gets dirty/needs replacement more frequently. The HP Slate 2 pne will also work. However, the only con maybe they may not fit in the pen silo, so you would have to carry it separately.

I was wondering if there is a nrig pen out there that is not pressure sensitive (should be less loud)
Does this tablet use the same one as the X61T X200T X201T W700 X220? I see a ton of styli for those models for cheap on eBay, but I'm unsure which stylus to buy. What do you guys recommend?
No, different technology. But, the Fujitsu Q550/552. The Q572 and Q702 pen may work(newer gen version of what the TPT uses) as you can use the older pen, like the HTC Flyer or TPT pen on the, but not sure if it works the other way around or not.
Hi.
The TPT 1 uses NTRIG pens.
I had listed some of the devices that uses N-Trig here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/N-Trig_Pens
It will be interesting to find any of this pens and try it out, possible you can find any of those on ebay cheap... but it will be "trial and error" to see if those works.
If you have any good luck, please report it back on the forum.

Keyboard?

Hi
I'm looking into getting a keyboard for my Note 12.2. I currently have the Samsung book cover and it does what it says and works fine. However I can't decide between a keyboard case or a separate keyboard. My requirements are possibly too much to ask from one device though as most nights I watch stuff on it in bed (not that sort of stuff ) and need to be able to hold it comfortably with the cover behind the tablet.
The one thing I don't like about the book cover is the way it stands up. It's very unstable and to be honest, not suitable to use with a separate keyboard. So if I went with a separate one, I'd need to get a cover/case that supported the tablet much better in landscape orientation standing up.
The keyboard case I was looking at was the Logitech Pro Case. Seems nice but how does it feel when the keyboard is behind so you can hold the tablet? Does it add much weight also?
Any ideas or photos of your set up would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andy
Too good to be true??

I got the Wedge keyboard, and I bet Amazon has plenty of those used. I wished I waited to get mine from Amazon instead of buying it at full price at Staples. Great build quality, never once failed when using it for either my mac or tablet, and has portability. But any bluetooth keyboard pretty much does the same thing, though it depends on what you want.
If you want portability, get the Wedge Keyboard.
But if you want a bigger keyboard, I bet there are plenty. I've never heard of a keyboard case like the surface covers, but those would be a cool thing.
I have the Logitech cover with keyboard. It is very well designed and pretty comfortable. Its only disadvantage is weight - it weights about the same as the tablet itself.

I prefer a separate bluetooth keyboard. So I've got a Logitech K810. It's exactly the same width as the tablet, so they fit together nicely in a sleeve. Excellent build quality, battery lasts for months and the keys are very responsive (as expected from Logitech's high-end line. It is 100 quid, after all.)
I also prefer a separate keyboard, picked up a used Belkin fsl114 (10 inch wide) for almost nothing that is outstanding. Believe it was in an Ipad case. We use extensively on another tablet and lasts quite a long while. Not quite full sized, about 3/4 size.

I got RAPOO E6700 and with Xposed Additions I'm more than happy with it.
In mobile situations I use Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard, in the Office I use the full size Speedlink Athera Bluetooth Keyboard.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll be looking for a separate keyboard now I've got a decent folio case.
Is there any way to remove the magnets from the Logitech case? Or does anyone know of a keyboard case without magnets?
I really don't want anything to mess up the S-pen functionality and really don't like magnets in general when it comes to proximity to electronics.
The magnets in the Logitech case does not affect the S-pen functionality. Magnets do not affect electronics unless you use a really powerful magnet like the ones used in lifting cars in a junk yard.
However, normal magnets may affect floppy disks by erasing the magnetic part of the disk but who uses those anymore?
Most good speakers have a powerful electromagnet in them and you don't ever hear of those causing any issues with electronic stuff. In my office those speakers are within inches of my laptop and never any issues.

It's not about electronics. The Spen sensor itself is magnetic. Introducing another magnet into the magnetic field of the Spen disrupts the field.
Maybe, but the magnet in the Logitech keyboard does not affect my Spen in my Note Pro 12.2. Is it affecting yours?

Logitech has put a bit of protective material between the tablet and the case in their Note cases. The issue affected all Spen devices.
Cheaper cases, however, don't have that addition.
So annoying that the best keyboard case out there has these. It's a well known fact that magnets disrupt SPen. A clasp would have been fine. Which is why I bought the Speck Folio. And I'm probably going to buy a standalone K810 keyboard. Even if it's way less compact.
Really satisfied with my Logitech keyboard/case combo, the ability to switch layouts (I'm using canadian french) makes it perfect for the job. I'm also using a bluetooth mouse to get the most of it. Add a USB OTG dongle and you get pretty everything you need for a laptop replacement.
The only setback, like the others said, there's no magnet to shutdown the screen when closing the case.
I bought it on ebay for about 60$ which is well worth it.
I had a device with Wacom pen (it was an e-book reader) with cover that had a magnet in it - what it did is it destroyed the pen. The screen still works with another Wacom pen, but the pen that I had with the device is broken and draws only on parts of the screen. So now I avoid any covers with magnets.
I have had the Logitech since I bought the tablet 7 months ago and no problems at all.

Been using my logi keyboard for 9 months myself, no magnetic dividing by zero so far...
...turns out logitech isn't some one off company that just throws **** together all willy nilly...
