Understood. I think we're on the same page actually :)

Oh, well that I agree with, it's silly to market it like it is the greatest thing ever they way they did. All I was saying is that everyone's acting like this stylus is like all of the other tablet styli that came before it where it was the primary mode of interaction. In other words, you needed that stylus to use a Palm Treo (or Windows Mobile, etc) because it was designed around that stylus as the primary mode of input. This thing works fine without a stylus so it's apples to oranges (pardon the pun).

You can't get a stylus with pressure sensitivity for the iPad (yet...I know the Jot Touch is coming). If you don't need a stylus with pressure sensitivity or don't know why that feature would matter to someone then you are not the intended target of that feature. Doesn't make it any less valuable to the people (mainly artists) who would find it valuable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Apple fan and I can't stand Android. But to say a stylus cannot be a feature is a bit short-sighted.

The difference here is that the stylus isn't the primary mode of interaction, touch is. The stylus on the Galaxy Note is a secondary feature for times when you'd want the ability to hand-write notes or make a quick drawing.

That's kinda what the people at the Genius Bar are paid to do. This seems like something they'd be able to fix.

You could, perhaps, be constructive in your criticism. Taking even a cursory glance at http://jakeosmith.me would have revealed to you that the writer is a 15-year old intern. I'm sure everyone that reads this site was perfect when they were 15 and never made spelling and grammar mistakes. We certainly did not need guidance to achieve success. If anyone needs improvement in this situation it would be the editing staff at 9to5mac that should have shielded its intern from the unnecessary grammar and spelling comments.

Also, since your comment comes across highly pretentious, I thought I'd point out that all of the errors in the post are due to word choice, not spelling. Only one of the errors (there/their) is actually caught by a spelling/grammar checker.

It pretty clearly says he won't distribute it.

Doing this on devices he owns is not breaking the law. Distributing something from the 4S that is not allowed to be distributed to other people is what makes it illegal.

Re-read the article, he has no intentions of releasing this.
