Just thought I'd share:
I was on location with a client, needed to markup a live document on my ThinkPad tablet and realized I forgot my stylus. Just for kicks, I pulled out my s-pen -- and it works perfectly -- even the 'right click' button.
I assume the reverse is true (lenovo stylus on the Note), but haven't tested yet.
Interesting, I'll have to try Lenovo>Note tonight.
The reverse is also true (just tried it).
I don't know if I'll actually use it much, but it's still cool to have the option of using a larger pen.
it should work with any waycom digitizer enabled device (both ways)
Cheers

For some reason my Wacom pen won't work with the note.

My s-pen works on my hp tablet, and my tablet pen works on my note. I'll probably never use it but its cool to know thanks!

The generation may have some effect on compatibility. I'm using a model from a few years back - x200 tablet.
I believe they use a similar digitizer that your typical Wacom-based Tablet PC uses.
So far the styluses from my ThinkPad X61T/X41T, HP TC1100, Fujitsu ST5112, Toshiba Tecra M7 all work on my Note and vice versa.
While the stylus from my Wacom Bamboo and Wacom Intuos4 do NOT work since they use a completely different digitizer.

If i recall the digitizers used in the Bamboo and similar are more like what what was used in the HTC Flyer (I had ome until the Backlight went out) The common waycom pens do not work on the Flyer and similar devices nor will their pens work with the Note.

thanks for the neat trick
Yeah I have the bamboo. So that's why?

Nah the HTC Flyer uses an N-Trig digitizer, completely different company.
I just tried it with my HP elitebook 2740p and it works great. it has a faux eraser on the end of it so I tried it out, guess what, it works as an eraser on the note.

You are quite correct, I knew it was somewhat different (pen even has a battery in it) Just could not quite remember the actuall hardware.

Does the Photon only work with the Motorola BT keyboard? I have tried 2 BT keyboards I already have and I cannot get them to pair with the phone. I tried both the 0000 and 1234 passkeys the phone tells me but neither works. Neither of my keyboards came with passkeys. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer.
I just paired mine to an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) that I had laying arond and it worked fine.
Random note about pairing an apple keyboard though:
After the phone asks you to put in a pin number and you hit ok, immediately type the same pin into the keyboard and hit enter. Then it will pair fine.
Hmm I will have to give that entering the key on the keyboard a try.
Yup that did the trick. I am using the Targus tablet keyboard and I did as you said, I entered the passkey on the phone and as soon as I hit OK I entered the same number on the keyboard and hit enter and boom I was in business. Only thing though I don't know if your using SPb 3D shell but I had to uninstall it because everytime I connect the keyboard the whole SPB shell crashes. Anyone else using SPB 3D shell experience this?
Sorry, I'm not using that. Is it a launcher? I'm using launcher pro.

Best product I have seen for portability/functionality: Logitech diNovo Mini
In theory, should any keyboard that properly implements canonical Bluetooth HID work with the Photon (at least, well enough to work properly with Connectbot, including cursor keys)? Or in more concrete terms, has anybody found a Bluetooth HID keyboard that worked with Cyanogen, but DIDN'T work as expected on a Photon with stock firmware?
(by the way, I'm also open to suggestions for a keyboard that can be non-awkwardly pocketed, and is suitable for both panic-stricken sysadmin work with Connectbot involving bash & SQL *and* casual web browsing while eating at BK. I could almost deal with one that's "phone-like" as long as the center-to-center key pitch is at least as wide as the Epic, it has a number row, and the symbols are in the right places... but with more empty space surrounding the keys so I won't have to press with my fingertip to avoid pressing an adjacent key. I'd totally kill for the folding Jorno KB I saw on Wired & Gizmodo, but it looks like THAT one won't actually be available until 2012 even though they started sending out press releases and demo units last year).
Update: does anybody have an opinion (good, bad, awesome-if-it-worked-but-it-doesn't, etc) about this particular keyboard:
http://www.dracotek.com/bluetooth-w...e-smartphones-pc-laptop-and-more-bfkip01.html
It looks like the latest incarnation of the 4-way folding keyboard design that's been around since at least the Palm V (now, with bluetooth and USB-recharged lithium battery). I really like it (on paper, at least), because it's the only keyboard like this I've ever found that has all the keys I care about in the right places. I've been lusting after a keyboard like this for literally years, but it seems like my phones have always been one version away from compatibility with it (sigh). Now that I have a phone that literally knows how to deal with proper Bluetooth HID out of the box, I'm dying to finally buy one the moment I have an excuse to believe it's likely to work ;-)
I picked up the Official Moto Keyboard at Target for $48 - Normally $69.99 - it was marked as clearance - couldn't pass it up
Connected and works very well with the Hacked webtop

That worked with the CE Compass Mini Bluetooth as well. If only the documentation had mentioned that critical step.
The CE Compass bluetoothhas a mouse ponter control, uses AAA batteries, and is cheaper than Logitech but probably not as robust.
It is about half the size of an iPad. So it could go into a big pocket.
Thanks to follow
Well, for what it's worth, I've successfully paired and used both a DiNovo keyboard and MX900 mouse. I haven't bought a pocketable keyboard though. At the moment, I'm trying to find an app compatible with the Hero that can emulate a real, honest to god Bluetooth HID keyboard and Mouse (99% of the apps in Android Market don't emulate HID, and require a special server app that doesn't work on phones/tablets at the other end). If I can get the Hero to work and pair with my Photon as its keyboard/mouse, I'll be psyched... I already own it, it's just sitting in a drawer anyway, it's half the size of actual pocketable bluetooth keyboards with mouse capabilities, and I can do Graffiti on it instead of fumbling with keys scaled for a midget

the first one is the cheapest. i believe the other ones are just a lil newer. just make sure u order bluetooth and not 2.4ghz.
Those look nice but don't need a touch pad tho. I never use webtop not found myself ib a situation to need to use webtop since my laptop is always near by. I'm just looking for a mini keyboard that will work.

Has anyone developed a way to Port the Stylus APK and Keyboard function?
I would think if you get the standard blue tooth stylus should be adaptable to work on any tablet?
The stylus is not Bluetooth. The Flyer has a separate hardware digitizer for the stylus. So porting the software would not be enough to enable functionality on other tablets.
porting
There has to be away port the drivers or apks over from the htc flyer to other devices. Im reselling my gslate and buying a flyer. I will work on the porting part when i free up some time from work
not possible... its a hardware limitation not software...

It's not the software buddy, the screen is not capacitive! It's a N-trig active digitizer. The pen is not Bluetooth. It's the same as the HP touchsmart computers.
Physically Impossible!
Just get a flyer, its only 300... Which, looking at what the tablet can do, is a steal!
Hope that helps
The screen is capacitive. Everything else you said is true. The flyer is like a mini Dell xt2. I've been meaning to try to xt2 stylus on the flyer to see if it's the same ntrig digitizer that's present in the dell. No battery in that stylus though... Not sure why it's needed here.

Really hoping to have this setup on my sg2 when its released. Basicly you dock your phone to a monitor, KB, mouse, speakers, etc.. then you boot up Ubuntu on your phone. Only for dual core phones. Allows you to do all your computing as well as phone calls, SMS, mms, etc. Can use your 4g or wifi. Can't wait.

Well, hmm, how would the dock work now... Is it for phones that already have a docking capability like the Atrix that now will have an Ubuntu alternative, or; will Samsung and other manufacturers make these docks so that their users can dock and use Ubuntu, or; will Ubuntu make a somewhat universal dock using the microUSB for example, which then spreads out into mice/keyboard/display. Overall, I'm just trying to see whether or not we're going to be included.

initially at least it didn't seem like this is going to come for us, right now it looks like the work they've done with the Atrix is mostly just to change webtop application that it normally runs with and I think I saw that it was only for devices with micro USB and hdmi output
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Yeah, the HDMI thing lost my hope a bit, but I think our phones do have a way to output via HDMI, or at least, my point is, a dock could be made to support the GS2 if someone were to make it. But yeah, the line:
Easy to integrate with existing Android phones in development

Confuses me as it sounds like it can be easily integrable, but at the same time, I just really don't know. We'll see what happens, I guess...
The SGH-I777 does have an MHL port, just like the GT-I9100 and the Infuse - it just, for whatever reason, didn't come with an adapter in the box like the Infuse did.
So if we can output to a TV/Monitor via HDMI and MHL we could use the slick web top type application?
I wonder if this will be downloaded-able as an "App" or will need to be more built in to the framework/rom itself (seems more likely). Very exciting though, to have desktop capabilities on a phone would be awesome.
Plus the exynos running on our phone would be much smoother than the Tegra 2 running on the Atrix.
any news? when will be this ubuntu solution available?
Give that this is from Feb, think its safe to say no news. Lets try to avoid necro-bumping threads like this...
Is the S pen the same for the SGH-i717 as the GT-N7000 one? Seems to be more plentiful.

I believe they are the same except the button color is different.
Wacom is wacom I believe... the Note stylus works fine on my Lenovo X61 tablet, and vice-versa. See no reason why there would be a difference between different versions of the Note.
I've heard that you can use any wacom pen with the Note, but any additional buttons that might be included on the pen will not work. I haven't personally tried, so I can't confirm for sure.

This is the truth. Extra buttons on other Wacom stylii won't work, but the actual stylus does
Although I appreciate the additional information, its offtopic.
As far as working I would assume the same. I guess I should have been more clear in my question.
Could I buy any other Note's S Pen (in particular, since they seem to be more abundant on ebay, the GT-N7000's) to replace a lost or missing one, for an SGH-I717. Would it fit perfectly into the intended slot?

Any cases with Incorporated keyboards with touch pads specifically for the S4, or that will fit the S4?
I haven't seen any specifically for the S4, but I saw some universal ones.
If you had the tab S2 Samsung keyboard it works, of course you can't use the case though.
I have an IVSO keyboard case but using my Tab S2 keyboard.
I order this one from amazon, and waiting for it, but it seems to be a good one!

did you test surface keyboard? did it work? good sensitivtiy of the touchpad?
Did you manage to find any decent ones? I have a Tab S4 arriving today and would really like to get a keyboard case for it, but I don't want one without a touchpad.
Also, all the third party keyboards I have seen are bluetooth - are there none available that connect through pins like the official keyboard case??
