Anyone know if magnetic tip stylus will work and where I can order one?
you need to order a capacitive tip stylus. Any of those will work on the gTablet. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...s=capacitive+stylus&sprefix=capacitive+stylus
I know. I already got a few. I was just hoping that a magnetic tip stylus will work better. Let's admit it, none of the capacitive stylus out there at the moment work very well.

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?
Has anyone tried the old cross stylus from the tabletpc days? I have one I used with my HP TC1100 and would love to use it instead of paying the extra $80. I also have two other stylus that came with different tablets that I'm going to take to best buy and try out. Please let me know if anyone has tried any other active digitizer stylus yet.
No luck with my Monoprice tablet pen
I'm not sure but I went on N-trig website, and as far as I understand they only sell their Pens to OEM manufacturers, not to the public
I bought mine at best, I think expansys has it for $59.99 if I'm not mistaken.
The N-Trig stylus for the HP Slate 500 and the new Fujitsu Q550 windows 7 tablet pcs will work on the Flyer. I have not been able to get the HTC stylus as my best buy does not have it and I don't think it is available online yet. So I am using those stylus and they work perfectly except only have the highlight button and not the erase button.

How's the palm rejection? Are there options to control the N-Trig digitizer like on the HP Slate or the Fujitsu? For example, if I set my Slate to "auto," it only accepts pen input until I double tap with my finger.
Palm Rejection flat out sucks. It does not seem to disable the capacitive buttons

Palm rejection as it is usually talked about is perfect for me--but the capacitive button can be a hassle. If you touch the screen with the pen first, I think it disables the capacitive buttons too. I can touch with pen and then write and drag my hand all over the capacitive buttons and have no effect. If I do not touch with pen first, then it can be a problem.
I tested again. Once pen touches and you are writing the capacitive buttons do not work. I even pressed them directly with my other hand and got no effect.

I have had the same experience. I will say it seems that you have to either touch the pen to the screen or put the pen really close before palm rejection even happens. I've become accustom to resting my hand on the bezel and then starting to right.

CompUSA has the Q550 Stylus Part number FPCPN36AP for $23.99 http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7108491&CatId=215
No luck using my old Windows Styli.
A.T. Cross stylus does not work
Lenovo X43(?) stylus does not work.
Fujitsu Lifebook 5010 stylus does not work either.
HTC magic stylus does not work on the above Fujitsu either.
bummer
The Flyer's stylus is an active digitizer. That's why it's battery-powered. The ones that come on tablet notebooks these days often use Wacom's digitizer, which doesn't require a battery (so the screen is supplying the signal that the pen interacts with).
The last tablet pc that I used that used a similar battery-powered digitizer was HP's TC1100. That's the only other stylus that has any chance of working. (edit: stupid me, see post below.)
N-trig battery operated pens will work. The pens for the HP Slate 500, and the Fujitsu Q550 and Motion CL900 should all work. Fujitsu pen is easiest to order and is much much cheaper than HTC pen. It does not have the erase button though.
Fujitsu pen on HP Slate 500
I see that Fujitsu's pen with the part number FPCPN36AP is mentioned. Does anybody know if it works with the HP Slate 500? I am considering using one of those instead of the stock pen because:
1. It is not battery-operated.
2. Battery-operated pens seem to have a high failure rate. The frustration that this causes is demonstrated well by Flying Bear Entertainment's game Insaniquarium.
My fpcpn36ap requires a battery.
That is odd because I contacted Fujitsu directly and was informed that that pen is made of plastic and is not battery-operated.
Has anyone tried the pen from a Wacom Cintiq display?

N-trig and wacom are going head to head on pen technology. It would surprise me if any wacom pens work with the Flyer... But it would be worth a shot.
Not Reverse Compatible
They are not reverse compatible. The tablet PC that I used prior to the HP slate 500, uses Wacom's technology and my father tested this.
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 :
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.
What stylus do you recomend to sony s, i want to right notes from classes
Please if possible ebay link
none
All of the ones that I know of have a rubber piece at the end and are not suitable for hand writing.
What I don't know is if the new Samsung firm stylus would work.
Hi guy! I've the typical cheap stylus, but I don't recommend you to take notes (I'm in university and it isn't easy to keep pace with him hehe).
A very good pencil is the Adonit jot, I haven't tried it but I've readed that is very good! But is very expensive too...
Link to the typical stylus (very cheap):

Later, to take notes I recommend you the FreeNotes apk....is very easy and, for me, the best apk for this!! hehe. Free in the PlayStore!
Sorry for my english, I'm Spanish...
The best stylus for handwriting on the Sony S tablet that I've found found is the just mobile Allupen. It does take some getting used to and there is a slight delay. It is the only rubber tipped stylus I've run into that you can write with. Also your mileage may very depending on what app you're using to take notes. My personal fave is Freenote.
The adonit Jot works well too, but I thinks it's more suitable for drawing than writing as it will constantly be clicking against your screen if you even write moderately fast. Good for cursive though.
Another good option is the fabric tipped gogo stylus it's exactly the same as the fabric tipped aponyo stylus, but it's a little cheaper.
With any of these you have to get used to writing with them. It's not like writing with a pen. Also all the palm rejection software I've run into has been less then thrilling. I just wear fingerless gloves to solve that problem.
Good luck!
works great

I just got the Adoint Jot and it works fairly well,
http://adonit.net/product/jot/
I'm surprised people have gotten any stylus to work with the Tablet S. I've tried two different iFaraday styluses, which are supposed to be the most sensitive stylus available, as well as a Boxwave rubber tipped stylus, and a dirt cheap generic Ebay rubber tipped stylus. All of these tips trigger a strange constant double tapping action just by touching the tip to the screen. Extremely annoying when in the browser as this causes the screen to constantly zoom in and out. I pretty much just assumed the Tablet S screen simply can't handle styluses.
works perfect

Definitive list of working stylus - Sony Tablet S
Guys i was thinking that we need a definitive list of what stylus actually work on the Sony Tablet S capacitive screen. Im going to start a new thread on this with a link to here. Hope you guys are cool with me using the stylus info provided already.

Thought I read that since that Wacom tablet stylus / pens would work on the Note. My bamboo one does not
My older Intuos tablet pen doesn't work, either... However, the pen for my Motion Computing LE1600 (also a Wacom screen) does work.
The pen from my HP 2730p works great. The more interesting part though is that the back of the pen (eraser) works as well! so you can just flip it around and do a little erasing real quick, I did not have to tweak any settings to achieve this, it just works. This is surprising considering the S Pen has no such ability.
