I'm considering buying the N96 Dual Touch. I'll be using it primarily for reading and annotating .pdfs, some of them scanned .pdfs. I hope to sync my Mendeley file directory to the N96 via Dropbox, and annotate while I read--not sure which app I will use.
Currently I'm using a Kindle DX, which is far too cumbersome to make notes with. So the biggest upside to the Onyx will be the ability to use the stylus. But I also like the feature of capacitive touch, for things like navigating through menus, and for zooming in on .pdf's, especially scanned .pdfs. So most of my time will be spent alternately zooming & navigating through .pdf's, and making annotations with the stylus.
My question is this: How does the Dual-Touch model handle the inputs of capacitive touch and stylus digitizer? I'm worried they might give conflicting inputs, and that the dual-touch model might be frustrating to use in this context. Has Onyx added some UI functionality that allows you to specify which input you are using on the fly? Or perhaps there's a way to turn each input on/off independently through the Android OS?
I can't find it now, but I saw a youtube video of another tablet that has another kind of dual-touch, and it has a feature where hovering the tip of the stylus a few millimeters above the screen disables capacitive touch, so you can rest your hand on the screen while writing. Hoping that the N96 has something like this...
