Otherwise, you might like to check out gsmarena which has a good selector tool and look at older models which have come off the high cost plans. |

At 3.2" the screen of 5800 seems quite less than optimal for reading and annotating ebooks...?
Cheers. |

Android Central's got an editorial on why the stylus is coming back. The editorial itself is so-so but there are a few quality comments. And I learnt that there's another capacitive screen based Android tablet with dedicated stylus support - The HTC Jetstream (10").
The HTC and Lenovo models use the N-Trig solution, and the Galaxy Note uses one from Wacom. Cheers. |

The Samsung exec wasn't joking when he said there will be upsized Galaxy Notes, but I didn't expect this soon - The Verge broke the news that Samsung is likely to announce a 10" version at MWC, which is less than 2 weeks away.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/15/27...mwc-invitation Personally I hope they will make a 7" version - 10" is good for schooling, technical documents, and digital drawing/painting; 5" is good for usability while still remotely resembling a phone; 7" is the right size for an everyday e-reader though. Cheers. Last edited by loyukfai; 02-16-2012 at 12:10 AM. |

But yes, I keep a few of my favourite short stories on it, but wouldn't read a novel. |

Is the stylus really making a come back...? Another one, this time from LG, still 5" though.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/19/28...5-inch-display No word if it's an active digitizer or not, so it seems, yet. Cheers. |

Agh... According to TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/26/han...ge-optimus-vu/), the LG Optimus Vu's stylus is only a capacitive one...
BTW, Galaxy Note 10.1 was officially announced (http://goo.gl/TyBx3), note that there's no internal slot for the stylus. So, at this moment, a list of Android devices with an active digitizer (may or may not be included in basic package; the letter following the model name denotes the digitizer maker, W=Wacom, N=N-Trig)... 5": Samsung Galaxy Note (W) 7": HTC Flyer/EVO View 4G (N) 10": Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet (N), HTC Jetstream (N), Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (W) Last edited by loyukfai; 02-27-2012 at 03:51 AM. |

I think I'll have to wait a while. $629 is too much for me. I'll see how long my Axim lasts and see what is available in the used/refurm market. It totally and completely blows my mind how much people pay for these things, especially the iPhones.
