Look, New Handhelds!

For certain things I miss a stylus. I regularly curse the Android keyboard on my Galaxy, especially in portrait orientation. The device I use for work still has a resistive touchscreen and I have to enter a lot of alphanumeric input. It really continues to work well. I may just get a cheap stylus with a rubber tip for my Galaxy. Typing is more stab than slide work so maybe a cheap one will be OK.

Speaking of my Galaxy S, the music player app does funny things with my albums, especially when I'm doing something else, like checking email, at the same time. I hope that the Player, being more of a dedicated device, has a better app.

Try Power Amp, a much better player.

You should look at some of Weegie's comments first. He ended up selling his Note because the inking implementation was so bad.

Me, I'm happy to be stylus free as it was something I tried for even on my TX.

How did I overlook this post for several months? Must be how I don't visit this place too often due to not having PDAs any more.

Anyway, word is that it's been improved with the ROM updates released in the meantime, and even then, it's still bound to be superior by far to a capacitive stylus on a typical capacitive digitizer-only device, unless the calibration's really off.

One thing's for sure: that Wacom Penabled digitizer is what makes the Galaxy Note products for me. I recall trying out the inking on someone else's SGH-i717 (AT&T variant) and finding it accurate enough.

Also, there's the Galaxy Note 2 to look forward to. I'm hoping that, at the very least, its release will drive the GT-N7000 down in price over the coming months, along with the holiday season.
