Stylus council

Samsung has said that its Galaxy Note II 5.6in, 1280 x 720 smartphone-cum-tablet, which was launched earlier this month at the IFA show, will be out on Monday, 1 October.

The stylus centric gadget sports a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, an 8Mp camera, 2GB of Ram, 16-46GB of Flash storage, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi and 3G HSPA+ cellular connectivity.

All good stuff, but the key feature here is the presence of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the OS.

"We’re also evolving the technology to the point where it genuinely feels as though you’re using a traditional pen and paper," promised Samsung UK telecoms kit chief, Simon Stanford.

The Note II will be available from Samsung and all the major UK networks.
