There are many applications that exploit the stylus, Levono is actually 
maintaining an App Store specifically for this device.

My current favourite is Quill [1] (which I recently had a bug fixed for 
this device).

The pen is pressure sensitive and reasonably responsive with accuracy I 
haven't seen on capacitive only device.

The hardware buttons are also nice to have, including one to inhibit 
rotation which I really really like having.
