[OT] Samsung highlights the Galaxy Note’s Wacom digitizer
http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-highlights-the-galaxy-notes-wacom-digitizer-20111027/ there are one or two things about this article which seem a bit odd: 1. enormous 5.3-inch, 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED screen obviously somebody doesn't know what enormous means, I am writing this with a computer connected a Proview 17 by something cheap-n-cheerful monitor; it is reasonably big, certainly NOT enormous. that made me automatically a bit distrustful towards the article. 2. The SG's screen resolution is 800 x 1280: not that remarkable either. Prices: TRUST produce a graphic tablet: Trust SlimLine Sketch Tablet - Digitizer, stylus - 15 x 20 cm - electromagnetic - wired - USB Priced at 30 pounds. WACOM produce an equivalent tablet: Bamboo Pen Graphics Tablet Priced at 46.50 pounds and Samsung Galaxy is priced at: 398 pounds: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-N7000-Mobile-Phone/dp/B005ZP9Z4W Personally I'd go for the Wacom tablet (my experience with a TRUST tablet means I don't trust them at all). I'll stick with my generic Nokia phone for telephoning. If the only advantage of having a Galaxy Note over another mobile phone, the markup does not justify it. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: [OT] Samsung highlights the Galaxy Note’s Wacom digitizer
Hi Richmond, A Trust tablet could be a nice alternative for Windows users, but it doesn't seem to support Mac OS X and Linux. Usually I don't care about statements like enormous. I don't care about statements like more than 150 bug fixes either ;-) I believe it when I see it. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Economy-x-Talk is looking for an amateur painter/cartoonist/poet etc. Contact me http://qery.us/du On 28 jul 2012, at 13:42, Richmond wrote: http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-highlights-the-galaxy-notes-wacom-digitizer-20111027/ there are one or two things about this article which seem a bit odd: 1. enormous 5.3-inch, 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED screen obviously somebody doesn't know what enormous means, I am writing this with a computer connected a Proview 17 by something cheap-n-cheerful monitor; it is reasonably big, certainly NOT enormous. that made me automatically a bit distrustful towards the article. 2.

My experience (admittedly 2003) was that the TRUST tablet I bought (with support for Mac OS 10.2 and Windows XP) worked badly with Windows and not-at-all with Mac.

Richmond CONTEXT... FWIW, that is an enormous screen, by smartphone standards, which is the context of the article. Can you name a smartphone with a larger screen or higher resolution? Some may say the Sun is enormous, but in the context of the entire universe it's not.
