With the addition of active pen support in Android 4.0, is there a way to 
detect if the current device *supports* a stylus (has an active pen 
digitizer)? I noticed there is a touchscreen type resource qualifier called 
"stylus" included since API level 1, but it's supposed to identify 
resistive touchscreens. Will this same qualifier work for devices 
supporting an active pen digitizer? I would like to use different layout 
resources depending on if a device supports an active stylus as well as 
query programmatically if the device supports an active stylus.

P.S. I'm really happy to see active pen support in ICS! My masters thesis 
was adding active pen support to Gingerbread (
