Have you tried writing your meeting notes with the handwriting to text feature on your keyboard? This converts your handwriting as you write, it is less cumbersome than doing it afterwards.

Thanks Unfortunately, aside from Dropbox, all the other free goodies are only available in the US.
Even if we were willing to pay, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, HBO Go or any other decent streaming service are not available in Canada.
There are apparently some jurisdictional issues involving IP rights, but for instance, when I go to Europe, I can't get Netflix to stream anything. Not permitted in the area. I can't even go directly to, say, ABC or whatever. That won't work either. I have a friend or uses proxy software like Hotspot Shield to set a different IP address. She says that works. I usually don't have time anyway.
The only "free benefit" that I cared about coming with this tablet was the Google Play credit. That I can find a way to use. Most of the other things just looked like "come-ons." "Free" dropbox? Or, in other words, a way to get sucked into a program for 2 years and then have to pay? I have other cloud storage programs that provide adequate space for free.
The only free thing I was interested in was the Google Play credits and unfortunately, we don't qualify.
It most definitely is a question of IP rights, yet it's a ridiculous situation.
The majority of Canadians all have the major US networks in their cable lineup so we consume the exact same content as our neighbors to the south at the exact same time as them, yet when it comes to streaming services that we are willing to pay for, it's a no-go. Same with movies... theatrical releases are at the exact same time as in the US.
It makes no sense.. It's not like Europe with different time zones, cultures and languages.

I feel better now
Hey, I think you might like this - the Hola unblocker gives you a VPN so you can get US or UK (or other countries) versions of netflix, amazon etc...Enjoy!:

@dianehelen it works like a charm.
I actually DL'd and installed the ITV app right from within Hola's app, you get to it from the settings.
You will need to enter a UK post code in order to get all the content. I used SW1A1AA.
I did not take the update after the app installed. If you ever see an option to use location services for that app, you would definitely want to select 'no'. ; )
I am waiting for Amazon to get my new Note 10.1 2014 delivered. After debating for a couple months, doing research etc... Placed my order today, will be here Thursday........
Congrats
You're going to love it !y
Word of advice... get the Square Trade warranty with Accidental damage... it's well worth the price.
Got mine today too. Lucky enough to catch Bestbuy not only in sale-mode, but also in good hearted mode. The sale was for $569 for the 32gb, but Newegg sale which ended about a week ago was for $539. I just mentioned that, and BB saleperson did a price match for $539..
I didn't get the BB protection, but I have 15 days from today to get it. I think I am going to check to see if it covers accidental drop, if it does, going to get it.. I have already outfitted mine with a bluetooth case, screen protector, and 64gb micro sd card. Just a couple hours owner, and I am a happy camper big time..

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Square Trade with Accidental? It's like $160 on the Square Trade website. Amazon sells it for $96 but before I bought it I called to see if it was only good for Amazon purchases. It was.
I bought mine on ebay... there was a link to it on the same page as my tablet. .. $99 for 2 years with Accidental

Thank you Sure would love to find the deal that Amazon offers. 3 years for $96 (accidental)
