This active stylus will rely on electromagnetic induction technology where it can respond to different degrees of pressure sensitivity just like an actual pen, resulting in it delivering a greater range of pen strokes and more natural writing. Not only that, the new Acer Aspire R7 will be accompanied by a set of Acer Touch Tools apps which will include MemoryBinder, a photo app that Acer claims allows users to add paint brush effects to images, while letting them arrange photos in order for one to convey a story in an unbroken manner.
Expect the new Acer Aspire R7 to roll out in Europe, the Middle East and Africa sometime before the end of this year with a starting price point of 999 Euros. Hopefully the full hardware list will be revealed in due time, too. [Press Release]
