Exclusive: This is Google’s Pen for the Pixel Tablet

[phillynews215]

• Google was working on a Pen to launch alongside the canceled Pixel Tablet 2
• The pen has a button that launches a quick note-taking app and supports handwriting-to-text conversion

When Google first launched the Pixel Tablet many people noticed something weird — it supported USI 2.0 styli, even though there wasn’t a first-party pen to go with it. That led to speculation, which was eventually confirmed by a leak — Google was, in fact, working on a stylus for its tablet.

Unfortunately, even though everything pointed to Google launching the pen, it never materialized. However, we have learned, thanks to a source inside Google, that the pen was still in active development, and would’ve likely launched alongside the canceled Pixel Tablet 2. While we don’t know the fate of the product now, we still learned a few interesting details about it.
