Apple iPen patent
- david_shaw 14y agoInteresting concept, though I'm not sure it's novel (no sources for that at this time). It seems to be very similar to the Android way of doing things: small vibration when menu button presses register, etc. That's something I've liked about Android that I miss on my iOS devices, so I imagine the pen would buzz a little when clicking an app, navigating a page, etc. I'm hoping that this device would see primary usage with iPads, not going the way of the Samsung Note in terms of phone-slash-tablet marketing. Interesting find.
- maayank 14y agoIf it's the audio usage you refer to, it's definitely not novel: http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/smartpen/echo/ http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/smartpen/echo/ (there is also audio feedback there as far as I saw on youtube, not only recording)
