What other devices enable the usage of the Samsung S-Pen stylus?

Hello,

The Samsung S-Pen stylus cannot be used as an accessory with other Samsung products. The Samsung S-Pen is not a capacitive device and hence can be used only with the Galaxy tab and Galaxy SIII. It cannot be used with other Samsung devices like Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII. The S-Pen uses a different inductive technology. 

But it works on other devices with Wacom digitizers. And usually inductive digital pens work on HP notes similar to HP touch smart pens, but without erase feature. There are videos on web proving this. Now a days capacitive stylus can be made on our own so that they can be used on any touch screen device.

Samsung S-Pen stylus can be used only with full functionality on Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It can be used on other devices, but only like a capacitive stylus. The pressure sensitivity will not work.
