It looks like the stylus is making a come back. Samsung first released the Galaxy Note phone/tablet hybrid (I have a hard time using the word phablet) with its own fancy stylus. Then we saw Olivetti's Graphos tablet yesterday show off its stylus support. Samsung appears to be at it again with a new device making its way to the FCC. This time it's a Mobile Pen that will connect to the host device via Bluetooth. The filings that were approved today don't have details on what the pen can or will be able to do but it appears that it will be able to send and receive data, like pressure information, to the host device.
This pen could be used to increase the capabilities of the announced Galaxy Note 10.1 as it currently has an S-Pen with no wireless capabilities. There is also a chance that it could bring stylus capabilities to the current Galaxy Tabs. Although Samsung is keeping this new Bluetooth accessory under wraps and hasn't gone as far as announcing anything yet.
Let's hope they announce it soon because while some of you folks out there may not, I love having the use of a stylus and with the pressure sensitivity capabilities it might be a valuable tool for those who use their tabs for business. We'll have to wait and see though. As usual, keep it locked here for all your Android needs!
