[Q] If you buy GN10.1, does it come with S Pen.

I haven't actually found this question anywhere, when you guys bought your tablets, did it come with the S pen or was it "sold separately?"

Came with the tab at purchase.

Inserts in lower right corner so you won't loose it... You get everything you need, be a bit stupid of Samsung to promote the S-pen then make you purchase it separately for a specific tablet...

In every review ever done about this tablet, they say that the s pen comes with the tablet. I assume from your question that you have not read any reviews about it?

People complaining about missing s-pen get confused with the Tab 10.1 because they look alike and doesn't come with an s-pen.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes in two versions... the first version is the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and this has no S pen... the second version is the Galaxy Note 10.1 which basically has S pen with it - for obvious reason... not to mention, that the 2nd version has better specs and usability...

Is this tablet not popular?

Seems to be not too much development going on except for couple ROMs here and there. Not trying to troll or anything, just wondering if my next tablet after this should be Samsung one if development is important to me.

Honestly I'm happy with the development and the hard work put into so far. It's waaaay more popular than my last device (G-Slate). We didn't even get a our own section of XDA. So no complaints here.

Perhaps it might also be said that Samsung themselves have managed to produce a pretty decent product, out of the box.

the device itself is good but not much popular................most people prefer ipads and remaining get divided between kindle fire and other available android tablets

Also, to get a Custom Rom that uses all the features of the S Pen would be extremely difficult - and what would be the point of our Tablet without all those S Pentastic features???

S-Pen

Hi guys. I use to have a galaxy note and I really enjoyed the S-Pen for its dawing abilities
i asked Samsung on twitter where I could buy a S pen for my S4 and they said its only for the note so I couldn't buy it..
do you know if the S-Pen works on the S4 & where I can order it?
big thanks!

S-pen does not work with the s4, you could try the c-pen samsung sells

Thanks, have you ever used the C-Pen? Seems to be much bigger than the S-Pen.

Best buy sells OE replacement S-pens.
Now, I thought I saw video of some guy using a stylus on his S4 but maybe I'm mistaken.

My wife has a Note 2, spen from her note does not work on my Galaxy S4.
However I bought this:

I was killing some time last week at a Best Buy near a restaurant I was waiting on my wife to meet me at. They had just opened up their Samsung section in this location and I haven't been in a Best Buy in some time and decided to check it out.
They had the Note 2 and the 1st thing I did after trying the s pen was see if it worked on my S4 and it did not. Was kind of disappointed as the feel of the s pen on the Note was pretty amazing.

Yeah, and I just got a tweet from Samsung Belgium. they say the C-pen that was made for the S3 also isn't compatible with the S4 and that there's no stylus that Samsung made that is compatible with the S4... That's kinda dissapointing because I do want to draw on my S4, like I did on my old Note..
So any stylus suggestions are welcome ( and I did like the tiny size of the S-pen a lot.. )
thanks! :laugh:

The spen requires a dedicated digitizer on the screen. We don't have that, you can only use capacitive stylus types and trust me they suck.
Oh and you'll never be able to use them for pressure sensitivity like the spen..

The cpen works fine, kinda weird they would say that. You can even use the capacitive buttons

What's even more odd than them saying they don't support the C or S Pens, is that I've just discovered settings hidden in the S4 specifically for the S Pen.
I was using the app ''QuickShortcutMaker" to see if it was possible to access the call blocking settings that Verizon hid... When lo and behold there they were.
I've spent the last hour online trying to figure out if the S4 supports it but it obviously doesn't.
Extra lame since the settings are there!!

S-pen and cases for it

I'm eternally jealous of my buddy's Note 2, with the built in S-pen slot. Gives me warm fuzzy memories of my Touch Pro 2. I'd like to get a case that has a similar slot, with bonus points for durability, s view, or extended battery support. (I know the last is extremely unlikely, but I can dream~)

Nope.
S-pen does not work on S4.

Damn, I was misinformed. Well, how about a slot for the c-pen, then?

It was a near thing, but $100 between the two sealed the deal.
Ah well. I've been operating without a stylus for the last two years - At least the screen on the S4 wipes clean super easy

It's not confirmed whether the c-pen works on the s4 or not. The c-pen was designed specifically for the s3 apparently.
Also, the c-pen is huge, there won't be a slot.

It works. See the video here (Only a minute or so)

The c-pen works flawlessly with the s4. I use it daily. As a side note, the newer firmwares for the Asus tf300 tablet and nexus 7 also work with the c-pen
