Does anyone know if the new Active Pen is compatible with last year's Aspire r7's?  Should we expect these to come available for sale in the near future?

I was wondering the exact same thing my friend, I cant see why not.

They didn't say anything about upgrading the screen, only the stylus. So for now I am assuming (hoping) that it will be for the old one as well.

Wish they had a trade in program...

what i would like to know if the pen tools, like palm rejection will be available for download for the previous model

In order for this type of pen to work (with palm rejection) there needs to be a digitizer layer that the original did not have. Original R7 owners are stuck with using capacitive pens. Acer does offer a nice one with a very precise point and disk style tip... I have seen it in a few reviews. Hope this helps, sorry its not the answer you were looking for.
