Samsung's gifting British Galaxy Note 10.1 users with some new, free, S-Pen apps for when playing "Eat up Martha" in S-Note stops being fun. Drop the Beat lets you produce your own banging dance tracks, while kiddy-titles Spot the Difference and Where Is It will keep your younglings quiet for five minutes. You'll also get Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, although we're not sure how you'll replicate that Fast and Furious action with a four-point-five-inch plastic pencil.

Samsung inspires people to get creative with the S-Pen

London UK, 23rd August 2012 – Samsung today announced a variety of new content for its brand new Galaxy Note 10.1, which was launched at a star-studded bash in London on Wednesday 15th August.

The S-Pen is so precise it's inspired a whole host of new apps and we believe it will change the way people use tablet devices.
