Since when does the iPhone have a stylus? The only reason they are even doing this is because they see the success of the Note and want along for the ride without any actual innovation and investment in it. PTO needs to stop awarding things that are made up in people's minds or only on paper.

Why would Apple do that? Last year, Apple was saying that talking to Siri is the way of the future and all forms of physical input is antiquated and obsolete,

I've already seen the Note doing this but probably in a different way, I wonder if Sammy filed for a patent? Apple will suck a leech dry.

Apple... Here we go again... 'stealing' ideas. They probably had that sentence "Good artists copy, great artists steal." framed up in their offices.

This patent is awarded to the Galaxy Note & II. Apple can just shut it. They haven't even invented anything to do with a stylus or writing on screen.
Losers.

Of course they did. Fresh and new.

you guys have any ideas that just because it was patent doesn't mean it will get used.. Samsung has patents for flexible screens back in 2010 that have yet seen the light of day.. but I guess the hate for Apple is more important now than thinking..

whats the point of patenting it if you are not going to use it. I am sure samsung will use there flex screen technology (granted apple does not patent the use of (if i remember correctly they did)) If it isn't the companies developed technology then the why should another company have any right to patenting the use of it in any way. that goes for any company not just apple. quite frankly i believe you shouldn't be able to patent technology or at least not in the way our current patent system is working.
