According to this report from AppleInsider, the patent was revealed this week and leaked information from the document contains the following main keywords – “Method and Apparatus for Acquiring and Organizing Ink Information in Pen-aware Computer Systems.”

As most of you are aware, Apple decided against the use of a touch stylus pen for the iPhone and iPod, so are they now looking to head back to stylus support for the Apple Tablet?
