    Has anyone tried handwritten notes with the new Evernote update?

    Thanks for asking this question. That was a glaring omission in Evernote & I missed the addition. :) But for notes in meetings, seminars, courses I use an app called STYLUS WRITE. For me it's by far the fastest(change pens/colors without even thinking about it. Making insertions in existing...

    Otterbox Defender now available for the Note 8.0!

    nice, thx... they lied to me...I bought the Poetic Revelation (or is it Revolution?) on Amazon. It's nice but is no Otterbox. I look forward to using the Otterbox but worry how hard they will hose us on price. I wonder the same about whoever starts offering a tempered glass screen protector...

    I use my s pen ALL the time! Do you?

    when I reach for my N8 I grab the A-pen. For me without the s-pen my Note 8.0 is just another Android tablet ' a nice tablet but just one of a zillion. Add the span and we have a real computing tool. For me the Note 8 is my old PDA having a "love child" with my favorite laptop, I've only had...

    Is this a good choice for an engineering student?

    LectureNotes (app) supports layers. You can import a PDF into a layer for a page in LectueNotes then add notations. The advantage here is you can imports your prof's pdf notes then during a lecture you can be taking notes on the pdf in context with the class. You can also record the lecture...

    Using Samsung Note 8 with a CF/SD Card Reader

    my new Note 8 hasn't gotten here as the boss ordered using the slowest mule in the stable for delivery so these are general comments.... Anyway, it pretty much it seems limited to using PDF's if you want to mark up a document or to somehow get it into s-note or other app. I have an annual...

    Playing Amazon Prime videos

    I thought Chrome browser for Android does not and never will support Flash? (even if Flash is installed by whatever means as installed is installed). Always makes me laugh when thinking of this as I understand it the stock browser is basically Chrome anyway and it has been really good, for me...
