Magic pen upside down

[thurstroubadours]

Hey, have I just noticed this last night. If you use the top of the magic pen on the screen, it works just like your finger does. More specifically, it works like a capacitive stylus would! This wasn't advertised as a feature, was it? If not, I'm glad I figured it out. It makes it so I only have to use my fingers sporadically.

Yeah this pen is metal and therefore conductive. This how the styluses for regular tablets work.

This works on my HP Touchpad and my EVO 3D as well.

OK thanks for making me feel like an idiot.
