A patent
application was spotted recently by Patent Bolt that gave indications that the
Samsung Galaxy S3 may come with a next-gen stylus that allows users to take
down notes as well as chat with friends.
The reported
digital stylus, which may be used on the Samsung Galaxy S3, is supposedly
designed for tapping and writing on the display of a smartphone or a tablet and
will feature an integrated wireless headset that will facilitate chatting. The
headset is located in the clip will allow users to receive or make calls
without any interruptions on the note-taking of the user. It will also indicate
that it will not be necessary to place the tablet or smartphone such as the
Samsung Galaxy S3 near the ear of the user.
The stylus
was initially featured for the Samsung Galaxy Note, which was called the S-Pen,
while another stylus, the C-Pen, will be featured on the Samsung Galaxy S3.
However with the newly-discovered patent, the next-gen stylus may be even used
on the Samsung Galaxy S3 as well as the other Galaxy devices of Samsung.
The headset
will be linked to a smartphone or tablet through a short-range wireless
connection and the buttons found on the pen will be used as the volume controls
of the headset once it is used. Since pens do not work well with capacitive
screens, which are designed to perceive the electricity coming from the
fingers, the pens of Samsung feature plates that transmit the micro-current
from the finger to the tip of the pen.
The next-gen
stylus will be a welcome addition to the Galaxy devices of Samsung including
the Samsung Galaxy S3, which is set to be released into the US market soon.
The use of a
stylus is becoming so popular that Apple is reportedly looking into the
possibility of creating its own version of the device as indicated in an
earlier patent for an iPen that will feature an integrated speaker, haptic
feedback and multi-touch gestures.
