Should be usually.

I don't think its active digitizer -- it should be a capacitive pen. I don't think the touch screen is pressure sensitive

you mean usually need driver?

My bad that I made it unclear, I mean usually don't need.

Some ppl have mentioned that it could be the new Synaptics screen which supports their own Active Digitizer sensor. One of the tell tale signs that it is a digitizer is that if you look at the stylus in the shots

It has a sharp tip, capacitive ones can't have a sharp tip.

Yes, my previous post was before I looked at the page in detail, now the remaining question is does the Micro USB port work as USB OTG? IT *should* but we know OEM's just don't get the requirements of a proper USB port on tablets

So I called Dell and they said that they will not be selling this tablet online. We need to check with resellers. The resellers however don't even know this tablet exists. We'll at least the ones I called. So who's going to go get a bunch of these into Malaysia for us? 64GB for me please.

do we know how much is the power keyboard?

Hmmm... interesting, wonder if it's just a matter of them BS'ing of course. We'll have to wait and see then. Resellers.. at the very least I guess All IT and ThunderMatch?

and the Dell shops.

don't really recall seeing much Dell shops, maybe they don't stand out?

I only know one - cuz I deliberately looked for it. its in Lowyat plaza - behind Sony Center at the ground floor - u wont see it If not don't look for it

Reviews are showing up.

Crap.. just found out the Dell Active Stylus needs them AAAA batteries again...

It's FOUR As not AAA.

Four As? never seen one before

Basically they're slimmer than AAA batteries, you can see it on my old T580 review, as well as how to 'harvest' some from 9V batteries.
