the reason i don't want to become Note 2 sheep is because of the silly stylus. Now Apple also has this. So, Samsung and Apple have become my avoid-list.

          Sound like a follower discretely defending a bully hypocrite contradicting giant corp.

          You just can't handle the truth.... quotes from steve jobs (your late messiah). i got a lot more quotes from mr jobs : (this is one of many)

          Steve Jobs quote in 1990 : "Picasso had a saying, he said: 'Good artists copy, great artists steal'. We have, you know, always, ah, been shameless about stealing great ideas."

          You steal (rename and claim) then you sue.....

          This is factual...grow up and deal with it

          From a true gadget lover.. not a sad follower or fanboy

                        Sammy din't innovate stylus. Even oldage HTC windows phone had it. iOS + stylus will kick the s*** out of lagdroid note series...

                            Anonymous, 06 Mar 2013remember when Steve Jobs said yuck on stylus? but now they ... more"remember when Steve Jobs said yuck on stylus? but now they will be using it what an irony.."

                            Steve Jobs once said that the 3.5 inch screen is just the right size for a mobile – big enough to produce detailed, legible graphics, but small enough to fit comfortably in the hand and pocket. He argued that no one will buy phone with larger screens.

                            He also said "7 inch devices are destined to fail..."

                            iPhone 5 (actually the 6th iPhone) and iPad mini
                            chuckle chuckle......

                            Apple have contradicted themselves over and over again. If you (apple) don't offer the particular screen size or tech (NFC, Wireless charging, stylus, SD card slot, replaceable battery and many more...) Please do not slate everyone else. Customer would like to purchase product fit for there lifestyle and personal preference.

                            You struggle to bring out a decent upgrade in one year with ONE phone is an absolute joke. Other companies manage to design and upgrade yearly for budget tight customers, high end and somewhere in between as well. (proper upgrades and it's more than one phone a year)

                            You steal, you sue, you contradict yourself and you are one of the biggest hypocrite.

                            Thanks to all your followers, you are the number 1 tech company (for profits and business only, definitely not for tech).... A title you do not deserve.

                            Anyway.... about the stylus, Spen or even iPen or iStylus. It's just a speculation. If it does happen...... watch out Samsung, they might ban your Note sales round the world.

                            not a fanboy, just a full on gadget lover :)

                                  Apple will call it "iPen" and they will make fanboys to think that it is the creation.

                                      Once Apple iPhone has stylus, Samsung may already dump the stylus and get into the flexible smartphone era...

                                        Mm.. But wasnt the stylus one of the most hated things from Steve Jobs? I can almost remember him saying on that keynote of the first iPhone: "stylus? They are ugly, you lose them.. Yuck!..." I know steve's age is gone, but i dunno..
