So it seems that this stylus, http://www.atmel.com/microsite/stylus/default.aspx, might be compatible with our tabs, this is based on the fact that the 7.7 includes the touchscreen controllers based on Atmel's maXTouch® E Series. There is a video that shows it working with what looks like a Verizon 10.1 tab. The only thing is that it supposed to only be compatible with Android 4.0. Now my question is, since we are scheduled to have the update soon, will we be able to actually use this stylus? There is no release date of this stylus anywhere, i have contacted their local sales office in the USA and never got a response. Has anyone come across anything related to this new stylus? Any technical people out there have an input if this will actually work? Thanks.

So i sent Amtel a message via their Facebook page:
"Hello, i have a question and i am wondering if you could provide an answer. I own an international Galaxy Tab 7.7 3G+Wifi P6800 from Samsung. I unserstand that the tab includes a maxtouch sensor,not sure which series, and i am wondering if the mxts100 will be compatible with this tab? The tab is scheduled to receive Android 4.0 in the next couple of months and i understand the stylus is compatible with it. Also if you couple please provide a release date and price range. There are many owners that are extremelly interested and hopefull this stylus does work. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon."
Their response:
"Hello, Antonio: Thanks for your interest! We are working with a number of OEMs who are integrating the mxts100 into their designs. These OEMs will announce product information as their products become available in the market."
Very plain if you ask me, not sure what to make of it.

According to this Atmel link (http://ir.atmel.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=610205) the Galaxy Tab 7.7 uses the Atmel maXTouch mXT768E controller (http://www.atmel.com/Microsite/maxtouch_eseries/mxt768e.aspx).
The E-series controllers can accommodate a "2mm thin passive stylus" which brings the new C-Pen from the Galaxy S3 to mind (http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-S10CSEGSTA).

Wondering if the C-Pen could work with the 7.7 now that it has ICS or something else needs to be done (software update?) for it to work, or will a dedicated stylus be release for the tab.

I saw a YouTube video of the C-Pen in use on an S3 and truthfully it was pretty disappointing -- no better than my Jot Pro that I use with an iPad2, which is pretty much an exercise in frustration for "natural" note taking.

I actually just called atmel regional sales office in the US, the maxstylus is in beta testing and they are working on supporting our tablets!!! No release date of course, original release was slated for 2012Q1, which has obviously come and gone.... but beta testing means sooner than later! ....unless you're vlc.

I have an Adonit Jot Pro which I am currently using with my 7.7. While the stylus is quite effective, it is unfortunate that most of the note taking apps for android have not implemented the palm rejection. It may not be a problem in smaller devices, but it's kinda hard to jot on a 7.7 without resting on the screen.
So is there any note taking app with palm rejection in android akin to noteshelf for the iPad?
try Jotter... it has great palm rejection, I use it all the time on my note...
Heeler
Jotter is for the galaxy note only. It doesn't support palm rejection in other tablets without s-pen.

Yeah, the flat piece seems like it could interfere with mark making. I draw pretty fast, so I need to know that when contact is made, a mark is being made. It looks like you'd have to be really careful and deliberate with the Adonit stylus.--that and it doesn't have android support strangely enough.

Hi guys,happy new year!I was wondering,since the note and gs2 are practically the same phone,how hard would it be to develop a note rom for the gs2?I for one would find it super cool to have full functionality of the capacitive pen in my gs2 plus all the applications created for the note.And since samsung arent going to bother(makes sense,few would buy the most expensive note if they did) it would be amazing if any developers would think about it(especially an ics rom when it comes out)!Cheers!

The note has a wacom digitizer which is needed for the fancy pen stuff, software can't add hardware.

Yup. No Wacom pen interface hardware on the GS2.
I see.Bummer.So a common capacitive pen wouldnt still work with most of the fancy note apps?In some percentage at least?Or it would be totally unbearable?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Samsung Note's S-Pen is a big factor in being able to write and draw on the device. Normal stylus simply wouldn't work.
Ahhh guys.... the op said he wants to use a capacitive pen not a wacom pen.
It'd work fine, only limitations we would have on the gsg2 is the wacom pen pressure feature and side button feature.

I'll certainly be watching for a feature like that. I current have a Thinkpad Tablet for the stylus - and just got a note. I'd be interested in the 10.1 Note if its any lighter than my Touchpad... lol its a beast to hold.
when dose this come out i want this!!!!!!
I'm thinking about it and i will be getting this for the same reasons i got the note over the iphone..................android>>>>apple
Not sure where to put this...but here we go.
As with past devices, including the s2 skyrocket, recent tabs and orig note, I will have the chance to see, touch and play with the Note 2 well before release. Specifically Thursday.
Just as I did with previous devices I wanted to get input on questions to ask etc.

Your leak on the original Note was spot on, so I'm excited to see what you dig up, even if you don't get a chance to take pics. Plus, getting hands on this early is indicative that they're already in production, which looks like Samsung is going to go with a semi-simultaneous global launch like the gs3...good news for my buddy who is converting to android for the Note 2 from his iPhone.

I have both and the s3 is better, I won't lie.
Much smoother, the cpu/gpu is a big upgrade.
I would do it. I go back and forth between the two, but imo the s3 is the superior of the two.
Now the note 2 on the other hand....

If we're to believe Samsung Display, the display arm of Samsung, which is actually a desperate company, there might not be a Note 3 as we know it. They're replacing both the Note 2 display, as well as the S3 display with a 1920x1080 4.99 inch panel this year. This according to Anandtech. I suppose we could see a curved OLED touting Note, but then again, flexible OLED yield isn't supposed to be good enough for production runs til 2014.
Unless they're keeping the display a secret, this is what most would expect. This doesn't mean that they'll have some other type of offering or combination to allow SPen functionality on say....the S4, but I wouldn't personally design a new chassis around an S4 and call it a Note.
I'd definitely choose the S3 at this point. The Development support will last significantly longer than it will for this device. Isn't it the most popular Android device ever? That is to say, more users often means more ROMs, the pressure to update and develop for it will be higher.
Since were not talking about an upgrade, its a no brainer.
But if you had to use an upgrade, or pay more than say....50-100 bucks (personal figure) I definitely wouldn't do it. A new generation of SoCs is just around the corner. Just as well, the GPU is much more powerful on the S3, but app support and UI/general performance isn't too much better now that we have 4.2 AOSP. And while an official JB is probably a couple months out, but it will bring most Note2 features home for us.
That's the current sitrep for both devices.

Personally I love my note and it's plenty fast with the stable roms out there. My gf has a S3 and it's a nice device and I can really see the appeal but it really depends on WHAT you plan on doing with it. I remote into computers and my home network. Work on servers all from my phone so moving to a smaller screen isn't what I'd do. It has the horsepower to show up plenty of phones and though it's a gen old with older hardware, I kept my 86 toyota camry longer than I've had this phone and THAT was a piece of crap.
But again it's all about needs and wants. If you feel that you need the faster phone and are willing to loose the screen size, I say go for it.

Agreed, with new phone announcements coming up soon it doesn't make sense to upgrade for any form of currency, but in a straight trade, it might be worth it.
