[NTLK] The vexed question of Samsung ...

[J.M. Heinrichs]

I think Endgadget caught that one at a show in Aug or so; they talked a bit about the stylus, but didn't get to HWR. The chap doing the demo used it to select items on the screen and then ...
1. he drew a fairly straight line,
2. he drew a four segment scribble.
... and that was it. I thought the system had trouble keeping up with the scribble, but that was all. Still not better than the iPod touch.

Cheers
