Poll: Steve Jobs was right, nobody needs a stylus. Do you? (Surprising) results are in!
UPDATE: Samsung must be nuts to scrap the Note line, it turns out! More than 63% of you guys prefer to have a stylus with your phones, and another 21% or so think that it depends on the size of the phone itself. It's not over yet for people who love using a stylus, for Samsung plans to bring S-Pen support to additional devices. But it's not the same, is it? You'll have to buy the stylus separately, then buy a special case to accommodate it, and so on. Maybe the Note will live on to see another day? Who knows...
I know I don’t - I prefer to operate my overly-compact phones one-handed. That’s kind of an exception, though. I know people prefer large phones, and if you’re accustomed to using both your hands with a 6.7-inch monster of a phone, a stylus can enhance the experience, I guess.
I have friends (accountants!) who swear by their Galaxy Note devices because - spreadsheets! Not everyone is so fond of their Excel spreadsheets, though. What about people who have a talent in fine arts? I can’t draw a realistic picture of an animal for the life of me but I guess a good stylus can do wonders for those of you who can.
