I'd love to find a stylus to use with the sketchpad app. Works really well but hard to paint with my finger on this anyone know of there is one that works on the NC?
I see the targus one for iPad but I don't know if that works for this or not.

The iPad is a capacitive screen meaning that it responds to objects that are electrically conductive as change in voltage that the screen can detect the location of. The Nook Color has the same type of screen, so any stylus or pen mod that works for an iPad should work for a Nook Color.
No guarantees of course since this is just off the top of my head but good luck and report back with your findings
I ordered a box wave stylus (as it has good reviews and was on sale for $10). I will report if it works well or not for the sketching app
I've had the boxwave for a few months for my ipad. I am not having much luck with it on the nook, but that could be due to having the anti-glare screen protector on.
Good luck!
I tried using my wife's Pogo stylus, but when trying to draw with it, its like the stylus will draw a dashed line in 1-2cm increments -- completely unusable. I ordered the Dagi P005 stylus in hope that its larger flat tip will provide usable results. I'll post up my impressions when it finally comes in.

So the boxwave stylus (I don't have a screen protector) worked pretty well. No real complaints. It isn't as easy as sketching with a pencil but I am overall decently happy with it.
However, I traded with a coworker and gained a Griffin GC16040 Stylus because he doesn't like it for his iPad. That draws pretty nice with the Autodesk app. I can get smooth lines (no hopping) and don't have to press super hard to get a result. I would definitely say that is the winner of the two. He said he got it off buy.com for $13 new with shipping.
I am going to snag a second.
Excellent! I'm glad to know I have options. I was going to be pretty disappointed if I couldn't find one that worked.

I think Wacom has some good ones, they focus on drawing pads for artwork and such so I imagine they are pretty good at it.

Don't think wacom pens will work that way. Pretty sure they use a proprietary technology. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Ive been really curious about this as well.
Im interested in the amount of pressure that must be applied at the width of the mark it makes.
Anyway you can do some line tests and upload?
I wonder what inside makes one stylus better than another, it would be like one finger being better than the other.
Just received my Dagi stylus.... works splendidly. They sent both the P005B and a free P101 stylus - both of which work well. No stuttering. No dashed lines. No other nonsense. The Dagi has a nice 12mm transparent tip so you can see exactly where you're writing. I love it.
Also, while I cannot comment on every Wacom stylus, I can say my wife's did not work with the Nook. (As expected). Do they even make a capacitive stylus?

Tim - Thanks for the feedback on the Dagi. Do you use a screen protector on your NC?
I can do pressure tests and get them uploaded this weekend. If I remember right from playing around it wasn't I just adjusted the pencil tips in the app. Which worked fine for me.
As for wacom no capacitive styluses.

I currently use one. I tried the Pogo stylus with and without one and only used the Dagi with one.

I bought a targus ipad stylus which from what i can tell is the same as the griffin but does not draw consistently at all. Has anyone else tried one? Also in general the touch screen seems to not work very well at the edges of the screen, is this a common problem?

The new EEE Slate comes with a Wacom Stylus, the screen is indeed capacitive. Not sure what model or if can be purchased separately.

Thank you for that info. I couldn't find one on their site but now am on the hunt for that stylus to see if works on nook. I think toughbooks use that too which incase we have one at work I can test with.
★found it but it says only suitable for bamboo tablets. Not sure what that applies to. Looks just like Asus one★

Got it on eBay from an Australian seller, but it seems to have come straight from Dagi. It showed up in about a week in spite of coming from Taiwan.
I've got a BoxWave and a Dagi on the way. I will be using them for class notes. I'll let you know how they work out for me.
I'm looking to get a keyboard for my Nexus 7 to use in my classes. The Logitech Android Keyboard is at the top of my list, but it's slightly more expensive and heavier than others out there. Also, the Motorola Android Keyboard is on sale for $22 today, but doesn't come with a case and may or may not work with the Nexus 7/Jelly Bean. Anyone have any good suggestions or experiences with a keyboard?
I just use an extra mac wireless keyboard that I have... Not the most elegant solution but I like the key board
Nexus 7 | Paranoid Android | Franco Kernel
HTC Sensation | Bruce's CMX | Bruce's Kernel.
I ordered this Tuesday. It will be here tomorrow
I heard Motorola was having a huge sale on line of their keyboards it was originally like $100 but they dropped it down to $23. Don't have a link but I remember seeing it a couple of days ago.

I have the motorola and it works really good. Its got some android hotkeys that the other bluetooth keyboards dont have. However the following don't work on JellyBean (or the nexus 7 in particular):
- the messenger hotkey (obviously)
- the browser hotkey
- the menu hotkey (this kinda irritates me. Maybe it depends on the app)
I have the Logitech Android keyboard and it's great! You can get it on Ebay for around $30

Its too big and then you must carry two discrete pieces. That's a nonstarter for many. I require an integrated keyboard / case solution.
FWIW, I purchased one such product at Amazon today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009S...175-7600503-0167501?ref_=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It seems to be a bit thinner than the also cool kybd / case folios like benchmark9 shared. Doesn't have a tab key but I can emulate it with External Keyboard Helper Pro.
Hoping for some better products like these from Zagg, Logitech, or even Google. MS Surface has some great keyboard cases eh...
Im still thinking about getting a N7, and if i do, i will want a keyboard. I really like what ive seen about the Logitech one, but im wondering if theres any fixes to make all the shortcut keys to work or if Logitech will ever update it....

What shortcut keys?
I'm a huge fan of the Poetic Keybook.
I know that a lot has been written to the contrary, but I'm a huge fan. It took a little getting used to, but once I got it down, the keyboard is excellent. I cant do the separate keyboard simply for the fact that I would need to carry it in a bag or something.
The poetic keybook solved this issue, as it is an all in one case/keyboard with removable keyboard if need be.

It is very good looking and cool. This is Aluminum Case and Wireless
Bluetooth Keyboard for Google
Nexus 7 .It will protect the front screen and the typing also so easy. Hope my recommendation helps.
I bet its made of plastic. Same keyboard at brando.com for 30$ and they coreected aluminium by plastic. Ebay is offering from 22$ shipped from HK.
I have looked at the keyboards (from the posted links) and some on amazon. i really like the ones where the keyboard and nexus 7 fit into one nice/small case:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Google-Tablet/dp/B00A23LEPA/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
but the keyboard seem SOOO small. what do you guys think? What you go with something like above or one of the large leather cases with a bigger keyboard?
thank you in advance for any input you can provide.
Thats the price tag ... small case houses small keyboard. And I have to correct me, even on Amazon below 20 bucks ...

that's kind of interesting. Although, kind of expensive. I believe the DiNovo Minis still go for around $150.
I happen to have one I use for HTPC. I'll see if I can sync it and if it'll work or not.

It's just a bluetooth keyboard. It has a flip cover when not in use, the Streak is just sitting on the cover. The streak is slightly bigger than the note I believe, so this would work as well.
I was able to sync the DiNovo Mini to the GN2 without issue. The GN just saw it as keyboard input device with a mouse input. I'm on the US Sprint variant, which is rooted, and running a deoxedized stock rom.
Here's a YouTube video showing it working and in the blue tooth synced device list.
Here are some pictures, with some being comparison shots (click on the image for larger image):
The issue I could see with the setup, especially in regards towards the OP's youtube link, the Galaxy Note does not have a landscape home screen mode. There are some apps that can do it; at least from what I found on a quick google search.
I still think it's a bit expensive for it's use. Plus, you would need to come up with a way to secure the GN to DiNovo, especially for environments such as train rides and so forth.
I use a case with kickstand and this rechargeable backlight Bluetooth keyboard with track pad I got for like $20-25.... works great.

I'm sure the Viimote, I think that's what it was called, works great. I've seen it referenced quite a bit for HTPCs. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like an altermative solution to what the original OP's link was to:
As once can see, the GN would be attached the DM's cover. This would be ideal for situations where you don't have surface to place either the GN or keyboard or when one is on the go. This is similar to what products like the Gameklip and trying to solve in regards to gamepad controllers.
that looks epic!! How securely does it attach?

Looks very tempting. Amazon has the keyboards for around $70, but that's still kinda steep. As for securing the device I was thinking thin tpu case and industrial velcro, but I would have to have hands on to figure it out. Thanks for your input!

Do you have it mounted? If so, how?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking if you're going to secure it, one could try some kind of suction cup thing or maybe whatever something like the Rockfish Pivotpad uses. In the pictures, I just had it sitting on the DM cover. In the video, I just set in a PivotPad I have.
I had the same though about securing a second TPU case to it, but I would be concern about stretching the corners of TPU case(s) or damaging the phone from taking it on and off in cases where one is using it on their daily commutes. The biggest concern I would have, the weight distribution is not even by a long shot. I'm not sure if the weight, in the long term, will damage the hinge. It would be something to look into from the Dell Streak project.
I use my DiNovo for HTPC. So I just did to see if it worked the GN2. I figured size comparison shots between the GN2 and DM would be helpful for someone who wanted to take on the project. I think that is what the other person did, see if it works at all. $70 isn't bad for a blue tooth keyboard that is portable.
Like most things when using DM, you kind of have to figure out which functions work and how. I found escape (fnc + tab) was the back key. I didn't try any of the media keys. The mouse moved kind of slow for my liking; I have it set to max on the HTPC.

Thanks for replying mate. Ive done a bit of a look around the internets and there seems to be mixed opinions about whether the wacom styles work or not. Given apparently the pen and the screen is made by Wacom I should be able to find one that does. What I would really like is a high end pen which fits in the phone.
I'm looking for a decent and large Spen too.
Here's another post on the Bamboo pen. I'm waiting for more info on whether it actually works well with the Note 2.

Im looking for an aftermarket one that has a real ink pen on the end. Has anyone seen one?
I think most active wacom styluses will work, I'm using one from my 2007 era tablet pc, the button works, the eraser end works and the pressure sensitivity works perfectly. No issues with alignment either.
I know this isn't an S-pen... it's a blobby capacitive pen emulating your finger: YesPen S1-plus
but this isht is sick as fcxzk. 1)Capacitive stylus - seems about the same (effectively) aside from the mushiness of it - you can still write great on the note; 2) real ink pen; 3)usb drive and sdhc card; 4)bluetooth earpiece; 5) bluetooth speakerphone; 6)integrated out of the box with samsung speak; 7) 3.5mm headphone(s) jack for a2dp stereo; 8) standard universal non-proprietary male usb (without the shield) built in for direct charging, usb memory, and sdhc access... 9) only $50 on ebay - less than half the price of the Samsung spen with bluetooth earpiece but soooo many more features.
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE YESPEN S2 if they ever make it - hopefully with spen too.
Anyone else try this yet or find an english language manual?
I've been using it for about a month and LOVE IT!
