the first pencil was impressive technologically but not that great to use as evidenced by the amount of products created to improve useability.  Hope the new pencil gets the user experience right, beyond being nice to look at.  Would also like to know why the first pencil won't work at all with new tablets, seems wasteful, don't need the nice to have improvements.

thanks for the review, very useful.  surprising the xs doesn"t support landscape - seems

unbelievable  - such an accepted standard.  i'm thinking this means that if i'm browsing a site in safari and rotate my phone to landscape, the view remains in portrait, and all apps have to be used in portrait? i'm using a galaxy note 4 and it supports landscape.  when you go into landscape you can see more of the text on a line, especially if you zoom.  this is a big useability issue, doesn't seem consistent with apple.

also hoping apple adds a pen to the iphone, it's  an amazing addition - clicking, selecting, writing, drawing, remote, mic...  what could apple come up with? once you get used to having a pen, it is hard to consder buying a phone that doesn't have one.
