Samsung Galaxy S8 may get an S Pen accessory

The idea of having a great smartphone with dedicated place for its stylus burst vividly in flames after the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 failure (pun intended). But Samsung may have something to offer for the S Pen fans after all.
As we are expecting the new Samsung Galaxy S8 in two size versions we received the word that these phones could support a stylus. If the rumors about 6” Galaxy 8 are true, an S Pen would really come in handy.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and S Pen
Adding stylus support to the Galaxy S8 may leave Note fans worrying that Samsung would discontinue the series. The Korean company though already hinted we should expect a Galaxy Note 8 in 2017.
Samsung phones are always anticipated and gather a lot of attention. This is leaving us wandering in different rumors but after all we are sure of one thing – Galaxy S8 is going to be the pivot of flagship devices once again.

Nintendo Switch patent suggests possible VR accessory

Nintendo is all set to release its newest hybrid gaming console, the Nintendo Switch, early next year with more details to be announced in January. A member of the NeoGAF forums has shed some light on a bunch of patent applications that were just published in Nintendo’s name. Sometimes we can see some of the planned functions of a product pass through the US Patent Office before it becomes a reality, but oftentimes, a patent might only live on as an idea, never to be realized.
Among these patents, one of the sections (between 0507 through 0516) details the functions of a head-mounted accessory.

The text basically describes the interaction between the main console portion, and some kind of head-mounted accessory.
