Samsung's next-gen stylus could double as a headset

Samsung's next-gen stylus could double as a headset

A recently uncovered patent filing from Samsung could give us a clue as to where the company wants to take their recent stylus obsession in the future. Thanks to devices like the Galaxy Note, the digital pen as an input device is making a bit of a comeback, and Samsung's patent portrays a capacitive stylus with quite a few tricks up its sleeve. The first is an embedded NFC chip that would make pairing with a device as easy as touching the two together. The second is a built-in headset.
We've seen the stylus as a headset concept previously with ASUS' three-in-one Padfone.
