Over at The Verge, it came to my attention that there are active digitizer add-ons for the iPad. Does anything similar exist for the Xoom?

I have been looking very closely at the VS gTablet for school. However, I am concerned about functionality versus a tablet PC (laptop convertible). Can anyone shed some light in both areas (experiences); because I am stuck deciding between a Lenovo 201 and the VS gTab. Also, is it possible to use a mouse and keyboard or a stylus (for note taking / drawing) on the gTab? Thanks!
I'm really looking for something to be able to take written notes with, record lectures, access internet for downloading notes and other materials.
Based on some of the research I have done; I have the following pro's and con's to decide from:
Lenovo 201:
Pro's: Comes with a digitizer pen, has more storage space, easily convertible, and works right out of the box.
Con's: Battery life, weight, and price.
VS gTab:
Pro's: Android OS, light, decent battery life, very portable, and price.
Con's: No digitizer pen, space not as upgradeable (correct me if I'm wrong), and needs to be modded to get full functionality.
Feel free to include anything I may have missed. Thanks in advance!
Go with the Lenovo, if you really want it for Pure school, and some basic functionallity
Well, the Lenovo may be out of the question after their sale ends tonight. It's too bad, get a $2800 tablet pc for $1600. I haven't received my student funds yet. If Lenovo doesn't have a sale like this later, I think the VSgTab will be the way to go.
Why don't you get the galaxy s tab?

has anyone tried these... seem good to me, i dont own one though.
It may, but it is also more expensive than the VS G Tab or the Archos 101. When I buy electronics, I tend to lean towards the powerhouses versus the mid to low end stuff. Not saying the galaxay isn't one of those; but the CPU that the GTab and Archos 101 offer are really nice!
But, at this point, it is a decision between the VS GTab and the Archos 101. I did find a capacitive stylus made by Pogo Sketch (broader head pen type) and DAGi (finer pen type) that should work for taking notes with. The biggest problem I face atm is the lack of stores in my area that have active demo models.
trying to find a tablet but is becoming a real pain. Looking for something with GPS, HDMI out, multi-touch, bt preffered but not essential, internal 3g (though no really necessary as i can just tether to phone).
Not too concerned with size or brand and would even consider ebay knockoffs, but must be rootable and upgradeable to honeycomb.
Anyone know of any such devices?
Anyone who can help point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you.
looking on ebay at all the ifad clones found some really nice ones though i'm still having trouble finding units with capacitive screens, but with the price difference i might end up settling with a resistive. still a ton of 10" units with hdmi and gps for <$200. also found micdigi site with a fair bit of info which is needed seeing as no-one puts the real model in the description of their clones/cloned-clones.
edit: cheapest capacitive unit that i like item # 180661659965
hi there,
i want to buy me a tablet, but i'm unsure.
i just heard the htc flyer coming out and i wondered that they pronounced it could use a pen.
isn't there a way to use other talbets with a pen? u can use a pen for ipad, but isn't the technology quite similar in all those tabletes (with android)?
hope you can help me
Hi
been considering either the note 10.1 or the Infinity. The infinity checks more boxes, with regards to battery life and ports etc, , not to mention the keyboard,but kinda keen on a wacom or pen inking solution. Still have my prime, but the screen is rubbish for inking on it ( tried 4 diff. pens, amongst other adonit Jot) . so in short what' i'm wondering is , infinity any better? More accurate? if so what apps do you use / have you tried
Check out the "Benchmarks" section of this article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...mer-pad-tf300-prime-tf201-and-infinity-tf700/
I've ordered a pen (a Maglus, to be specific), and plan on using it for next semester at uni. In short though, the digitizer on the TF700T, is much better than the Prime.
Anynone with personal experience with inking on the tab?

I'm not a professional, but just playing around I found it to be painfully laggy, though apparently the digitizer is good. I don't know what difference having a nice stylus would make, but mine is cheap for the record.
Hey guys, I've recently bought a 2-in-1 Windows powered tablet from Acer, model SA5-271-34MN-EN (or just SA5-271). It is a Acer Switch Alpha 12, with i3, 4GB RAM and 256GB SSD.
The one I got does not come with an stylus out of the bxo, but some others does come (I noticed that after watching some unboxing videos).
The thing is that I am trying to figure out which stylus should I buy. I've seen on the official Acer site ( https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42675 ) that it supports two types of stylus from acer, the "Elan NP.STY1A.005" and the "Elan NP.STY1A.006". Since I could not find those models directly on the internet here in my country (I do not live in US, only found to be imported from New York), I'm open to suggestions in which kind of stylus should I look for. By "kind" I mean, capacitive, resistive and others. Still, if someone could clarify the terms to me, it would be better.
I've looked into some of those chinese sites, but since I do not know which pen should I buy, i'm kind of lost here.
The models I looked are:
"Acepen 703AS Rechargeable Surface Pen Active Stylus" - People says it is only for Microsoft surface. Why?
"UGEE P51 Digital Pen Stylus for Drawing Tablet" - People says it is only for UGEE tablets. Why? Shouldn't it work in other screens?
"Original One Netbook Stylus Pen for One Mix Laptop" - People says it is only for One Mix. Why?
"Teclast TL - T6 / F5 Active Stylus" - Ony for Teclast?
Could you guys clarify if an Active Stylus would work in my notebook? And what is the main difference between Active and Passive, from the point of view of my notebook?
TL;DR: Anyone can take a look on Acer 2-in-1 SA5-271 and see which kind of stylus would work on it?
Thanks for the attention.
