http://habrahabr.ru/post/160793/#habracut how #galaxy note #stylus works. so we had those resistive screens - and we had a possibility to paint by using software like mypaint. Now, with capacitive screens we cannot paint cause - firstly, they don’t sense the pressure strength, and secondly, the precision of capacitive screens is not enough for drawing - but enough for using fingers.
What these guys implemented in galaxy note - is a new layer which allows to use styluses with new design - not just the regular stick. So this is like crutch solution - why do we need these crutch if we could just have simple resistive screen. And the answer is - because resistive screen does not work well with fingers - which most people want (and what some consider a lack of development)
http://www.slashgear.com/apple-ipad-why-the-stylus-isnt-dead-0884799/ #stylus #finger #apple #ipad A stylus has come to be seen as an apology for a bad UI, a way of making undersized or tricky on-screen controls accessible when fingertips won’t cut it. Ironically we’ve lost sight of the stylus as a legitimate input method in it’s own right; ironic because while in computing the pen is seen as niche – the domain of artists and the unenlightened – in the real world there are many more people who can write than can type.
