Hey, guys!
It's been a while since I posted anything here.
I have a question:
Samsung has released a new 15.6" convertible "Flip" laptop with their Wacom-powered "S-Pen". The
Notebook 9 Pro.
It's a total revolution in Tablet PC tech; the biggest portable computer (other than Wacom's keyboardless Cintiq tablet) to date which also uses the best in EMR pen technology, (the common alternative N-Trig and AES systems..,
almost don't suck. Buuuuut, they suck).
The only problem is...
The Samsung Pen Driver is currently the only way to interact with the stylus. And it won't let the user do anything useful with the stylus barrel button other than bring up a chumpy Samsung menu. No hover-click. No brush re-sizing. Just "One Note?"
I haven't gotten one of these machines as of yet, (they're not available in Canada), but I was getting all excited about the prospect until I learned that the system is, in spite of its amazing stylus action, high pressure levels and even tilt sensitivity, suffering from this critical feature fail.
So.., what would be involved in hacking together a home brew pen driver? The Waxbee project is evidence enough that
something must be possible.
For background on the machine, you can read the thread over on the TabletPC forum here:
