Samsung Series 7 Slate vs Asus EP121

I saw that, but then I read the description…it actually looks like it’s an actual ball point pen that just has a rubber cap for acting as a capacitive stylus.

Simply pop the cap of the deluxe stylus and you’ve got a real pen in what feels like no time at all.

Unfortunately the nature of every capacitive touch panel means that we’ll be stuck with these cludgy styluses for a while. There are technologies bubbling up that allow for thing like pen/brush input, but they are not ready for primetime.
