"Apple ships their tablet with a stylus"

Huh?

Yikes, I was under the impression that it was included in the $449. Nope, gotta drop another $100.

My point stands: Apple has pen as primary accessory, Google has dock.

I mean, Galaxy Note has a pen but iPhone does not. Does that mean Samsung is for creatives but Apple is not? :->

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed your theory, the thinking and rationale :). But given the pen is a whopping 100$ for Apple, not sure if it's as simple as that.
