In an interview, Ryan Bidan, Samsung's product marketing manager, discussed about adding stylus support to other products of Samsung,

 

Yes, I think so. I think a pen interface continues to make a lot of sense across a number of screen sizes, like the larger is more obvious of those. That's about as specific as I can be without announcing a product.

There are lots of interactive whiteboard products shown at CES 2012 and Samsung has one of them. People may prefer typing as opposed to writing as their primary input but writing still is needed in a lot of situations. Physical writing, be it diagrams or notes encourage creativity and gives more effective way in learning for some people. Positive reception of the Galaxy Note shows it all.

It is possible to write and sketch on capacitive screens with no palm rejection, however, it is not that ideal. Wacom active digitizer technology with a stylus like the S-Pen provides more pen-and-paper, comfortable, analog feel. It is nice to have a device as small as a notebook to have a S-pen functionality, but larger Galaxy Tabs could benefit much from it. It would be great for productivity, be it business or studies. This makes tablets more than an entertainment slab and could be used in lots of things important to individual endeavors.
