Is the stylus pen included on the ASUS Prime and can you do a comparison of the two?

Please and thank you

@liwaroman No, Wacom Active Digitizer pens only appear on Windows tablets currently. Whilst I have an Android phone, I'm not particularly interested in iPads and Tabs etc as these tend to be more entertainment devices rather than productivity tools at this stage.

@oztabletpc So the ASUS prime can not run windows 7? If I buy the Wacom Active Digitizer pen will it work on the ASUS Prime or is the software strictly for Windows tablets? And if that is not not possible which tablet would you recommend that is a little smaller about 10 inches but still works with a Wacom Active Digitizer pen.

Thank You

@liwaroman ASUS Prime is an Android Tablet. It cannot run Windows. The Wacom Active Digitizer is both a pen and a digitizer panel that must be built into the device, so it cannot be used on just any tablet. It's not a software issue, however many Windows Tablet PCs like the ASUS EP121 do have the Wacom Active Digitizer built in.

As you can see in the video, Windows has lots of other software goodies for tablets with Active Digitizers too like handwriting recognition.

@liwaroman The Samsung Series 7 Slate is an 11" tablet with the Wacom pen. If you're after something smaller, that would be where i'd go...

is there an external battery for more battery life that you can buy?

[oztabletpc]

@Ykhavari Not on this one. If you need a longer battery life check out some alternatives like the Samsung Series 7 Slate (Home / Executive use - 4.5 - 5 hours) or the Motion Computing J3500 and F5v (Rugged field use, hot swappable batteries).

Functionally these tablets are all identical. The difference is in the form factor.

@oztabletpc

1.Is there a way to run android technology and windows 7?

2. Is there a program to transform the handwriting into computer text/

3 Which keyboard do you recommend?
