Today we’ve picked up on a few rumors surrounding the S-Pen, which will come inside the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 box, and it looks like the new tabphone will ship with some great apps that utilize the S-Pen’s innovative features. These apps will include games and other productive software that makes use of the pen, and one title should be Flag Challenge. You will also find some apps already on the Google Play store that make use of the S-Pen, and one that’s well-known with iPad owners is called SketchBook Pro.

What apps should the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ship with, and are there any apps that you think would benefit greatly from the improved S-Pen?
