Anyone tried this BT fold up keyboard? (*Review with vid*) - Acer Iconia A500

*** UPDATED ***
Here's my review of it:
I am typing this on my new Verbatim foldup bluetooth keyboard.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823301007
The video from my Galaxy S is a bit dark, but I didn't want to get a glare on the screen so I left the camera light off.
Pros: Compact, has all the main keys including number keys with shifted characters ([email protected]#...), and arrow keys. Locks into open (or closed) position, so you can still use it in your lap without a flat surface. Leather case is cheap but acceptable. Reminds me of my old Blackberry holster, but has a snap instead of a magnetic closure. Lightweight. Good price for what you're getting.
Has a stand that you can pull out of the keyboard that is completely separate from the keyboard that will prop your phone or other smaller device up at various angles. It doesn't weigh enough to support a tablet though.
Cons: Manual switch to turn it on / off. Construction is fairly good, but there's a noticeable bulging gap when closed - doesn't completely meet the other edge down the long side. Four little rubber feet that extend out of the case on the outside, so are still out when closed - likely to be sheered off at some point through wear.

Looks interesting. If I'm going to have a keyboard, folding up is a must for me because I'd use it while traveling and space is at a premium.

I thought you can not connect anything other than headset via bluetooth since proper profiles for connection are not there. if you decide to try then please let us all know if you were able to make it work and your feedback on the device itself

I went ahead and ordered one today. I'll keep you posted. It should be here by Thursday or Friday - depending on what warehouse it ships from.

This looks very similar to the Palm 3245WW keyboard and the Palm keyboard works perfectly with my A500. I suspect that just about any BT keyboard would work.

I'm also interested in the review of this!

I got it from Amazon.com years ago when Palm T|X was first released. It was on sale for around $25, which was a steal even back then. I don't think the Palm branded ones are being produced anymore, but the Palm keyboards were just rebranded Think Outside keyboards, which are still being produced/sold, but those are still pretty pricey (+/- US$70).

You connect to and use bluetooth keyboards as of now just no mouse until 3.1
I have used my Logitech Media Board for the PS3 and a Ipad keyboard with no issues. (Both are bluetooth)

I guess that all depends on how bad you want a fold up bt keyboard. I paid $130 for my last one (Think Outside?) for my old pocket pc device and it broke in the hinge after less than 30 uses. This one shouldn't have that problem. Just don't sit on it ;-)

It just seems to me that $70 is pretty steep for a keyboard. It better make me breakfast and jump in and out of my pocket for that price. But I guess that's where they are all at nowadays.

I agree, but almost all bluetooth accessories of any sort are overpriced when you think about it. It's only been recently that you could get reasonably priced BT earpieces. Probably partly due to licensing issues with the BT standards.
Other than the little thumb keyboards (which I don't want,) I don't see any that are much cheaper if at all, and certainly none that fold up like this one. The Logitech is the same price and doesn't fold. I saw others around $30 that had horrible reviews and were made of a flexible rubber.
So, for what's on the market, it seems fair-priced. For buyer value perception... maybe not.

Some are using this as a laptop (not me).

Why use a keyboard?
This is a very capable computing device that happens to have a touchscreen.
If I'm gonna write, I'm going for the keyboard. If I'm looking at pictures or mild web browsing, I go for the screen...
Knowing which tool to use for the right job is one of the things I often teach my students.
The reason I got the tablet was so I didn't have to tote my serious laptop around. I have a powerhouse of a laptop computer that I do all my Solidworks / Rhino / Photoshop / Illustrator / ProTools on. The downside is that, while it is Exceedingly capable - more so than most of my friend's desktop computers - I do pay a price in portability.
I am willing to tote it where it needs to be for work and productivity, but if I don't have to, I'd rather not...aaaand that's where the tablet comes in.
It's doing a Wonderful job at what I'm asking of it...
I am willing to tote around a small, lightweight, wireless keyboard if it allows me to do 99% of the things I can do on laptop...AND I can leave the keyboard behind if I need to be that svelte for some reason.
..but that's me...Your Mileage May Vary

I have found over the years of using PDA's, phones, and now tablets that people who can touch type typically want a real keyboard accessory of some kind. Those who type with two fingers don't typically care. Not making any judgements or theories on your typing skills -- just stating what I've noticed.
If I'm doing a little typing, I'll just use the screen keyboard. But if I'm typing a long email, post on a forum, letter, etc., it's great to have a keyboard, especially if it's very portable.

That's why I wanted foldup. Doesn't take much space and easy to flip open when needed.
I can VPN to work and then ssh into servers or workstations for diagnostics/testing. Something you'd usually use a laptop for. I can do it without the keyboard, but it's 10 times faster than a touchscreen for me.

Why would they put the charging port on the side?

Really makes it a ***** to use while plugged in. Also, since I'm complaining. How about less programmable keys and instead give us a space bar that's a decent size....
Still the best phone I've ever owned, but do the powers that be really incorporate design choices on purpose to give us something to aspire for?

Not that this is a reason...but Blackberries have the charge-port on the side -- a lot of them do anyway.
When you're using a phone like the G2 (or my TP2) in landscape I think it's better on the side. That way it hangs straight down between my hands, rather than where my right hand is (as it is on my TP2). But...yeah, not good in portrait mode.
I personally think it's much, much better on the side. I usually hold the phone with my right hand so it doesn't get in the way when I'm using it in portrait, and having it on the side is a godsend when using it in landscape.
I assume most people use their phone 90% of the time in portrait mode. But yes, in landscape it's fine. I spent the summer on an iPhone after using a rooted G1 for 18 months (cyanogen of course).
The only things I miss from jailbroken iPhone are 1) Bottom plug, 2) virtual keyboard (Swype/Stock/Swift still don't come close FOR ME), 3) Home Button/Track Pad press to wake up screen, 5) SBSettings and 4) WORDS WITH FRIENDS!!!!!
Otherwise it's like a breath of fresh air being back on Android. I'm confident that 4 of those 5 things will be fixed if root ever gets implemented.

On my nexus and touch slide the port was on the bottom. I liked it for when I charged my phone while driving. If it had to be on a side, I would prefer the other side. Love this phone though.

Well if you spend more time typing on the physical keyboard than you do doing browsing, twitter, music, games, and making phone calls.. then yeah. Sure. I use the keyboard for long emails and message board posts. That's not the majority of my day realistically though.

Fair enough. Different preference for different users. I text more than I do any other function on my phone. Honestly though? I like how they did it on the Moto Droid. On the side but up closer to the top.
It's on the side so that it will work in a car dock, which I'd love to see one of.
For me, the ***** is microUSB. That tiny tab in there is going to break, and then I'm boned. MiniUSB would have fit, and it's so much stronger!
My N900 had it on the top and it was impossible to use when plugged in.. I for one am glad its on the side.

Check out Wordfeud. I just discovered it this past week but me and a few of my other Android friends have been having a blast with it. You can also play against random people.
usb port on the side isn't that bad unless your trying to type. then its a pain. still don't like micro usb always plug in the wrong side also feels kind of flimsy.

Yeah I'm using Wordfeud now for my WWF fix. It's like a poor mans version. Drab black color and the "V" is only worth 4 points lol.
Also, yeah, I'm not saying to put the plug at the top, but raise it to the top of the side or put it where the *gasp* iphone put their plug. Bottom center.
It's for easy Landscape DOCKING!
If you buy a docking device for your desk of for your car where do you think the USB port should be?

Yeah, because the majority of users use a desk/car dock instead of holding their phone.
I'd have greatly preferred it on the other side (the one with the camera button); this would allow it to be used on a dock (who uses the keyboard when it's docked?! flip the screen!), while at the same time allowing you to prop it up on a desk and have it charge while still being able to quickly pick it up to type a response to a text or tweet. As it is now, to charge on a desk it HAS to be either face up or face-down.. and I shudder to think about trying to use a dock and quickly reply to anything. But I can understand why they didn't... look under the screen with it lifted up half-open, the z-hinge takes up a lot of space.
Even having it on the bottom would have been an improvement. And seconded on the micro-USB port... all my other gear uses mini-USB. Now I have to go buy another micro-USB cable to charge at work versus home, or be hassled in carrying the cable back and forth.
Battery life seems to be a hell of a lot better than the G1 at least. Which is now my 'backup phone' at work, in case I forget the damned charging cable for the G2.

speaking of blackberry...i really wish the g2 has the metal magnet charging ports like the blackberry. those metal contacts on the bottom of the blackberry have made charging the phone sooo much easier. i miss that feature... i know the n1 has that but the dock cost like $50 but hey if the g2 had that i would be all over it especially if ur tryin to charge ur fone wen ur drunk it is really hard.

i got mine! - metallic grey

will post some thoughts once i get to spend a good amount of time with it

did you get it at a Best Buy in NYC? If so, which one?!?
Very nice ,that is a plastic shell still right?
yes at the Best Buy in NoHo. seems to be the only Best Buy around here that has the grey one right now. the back is indeed plastic, but it is a nice quality.. it almost does have a metallic feel to it with the texture. the rim around it is metal. build quality and display are excellent.. no creaks or looseness at all.. backlight is very even.. no leaks at all. blacks on the screen are nice and deep. and the screen doesn't seem to attract fingerprints much.
let me know if you guys have any more questions
ah you got the 16gb I believe...I am looking for the 32. Slim pickins for that model in one of the biggest markets on the official launch day. cant make this stuff up.

You haven't been paying attention to Apple over the past few years then. It's all about hype. I'm 100% convinced, shortages and delays are on purpose.
Look for lag on websites and using the keyboard on other sites/apps
Any loose panel near edges (Glass seperation) ?
Did you get the usb adaptor yet ?
Battery life ?
Any heat issues with back of tablet ?
WiFi issues if any ?
Connecting to computer issues ?
Best Buy at Columbus Circle (Broadway & 62nd) have the grey metallic back one, though I didn't check if they had 32gb too.
The grey metallic is absolutely sleek. I like the look and feel of it much better than the white (which I purchased last week and exchanged to grey today).
One small feature not oft mentioned in the grey is that the metal rim on the grey model is matte grey, not the shiny silver of the white. It's a small difference, but makes for a much more subdued and professional look (read: not ipad-ish).
The textured back (though plastic) also makes it feel better when you hold it in your hand, since you have the ever slight friction from the brushed pattern. Also, of course, grey less flashy and more serious (reminded me of other Android tablets like Xoom, Flyer, but of course, way way lighter!)
Form factor-wise, I don't think you can go wrong with the grey GT 10.1!
you think the grey looks better than the white after having both. i got the white on the 8th and really like it, but i'm returning it, and will be getting the grey from costco(only color they have). It looked sort of plain in the pictures and i tend to like a little more flash in things, hope its as nice as you say.
I got the grey version as well. The store gave me a white one by mistake. Good thing I checked it before I left.
The back is textured so it doesn't slip and slide around in my lap like the Acer did.
I also do not hear any squeaks while holding it.
Just called my local BB and they do have them in the store, but will not be displaying them until Sunday. Kind of a weird delay considering that it is supposed to be a hot new release.
Got the 16 grey one today. It's nice. My 6 year old want let me touch it. He's gaming.

i haven't experienced lag yet, and i've been browsing Engadget, XDA, New York Times, Facebook, and various music blogs. i did see a bit of slow down when i was on the Netflix site, scrolling down through my queue.. but that's only because i have about 300 movies on there.
i did notice when i was on the Market.. when i was trying to click on the Search, the keyboard took a bit to pop up. maybe about a 3 sec delay.

there's no glass separation or any looseness or creaks. my coworker has his Transformer here, and he's gonna return it after trying out my GTab, as his has creaking on the right side. he also noticed that scrolling through YouTube's home page was a bit faster and smoother on the GTab. everyone here at work is impressed with the build quality.. even iPad owners.

i originally wanted the 32GB, but they are nowhere to be found in the NYC area, so i just got the 16GB. having had a netbook previously, i only used up about 8GBs on that, since my music collection is about 24,000 songs - i have them on my external. so i really only store documents and photos in the internal storage. i haven't installed that many apps yet, but those shouldn't take up much space also. i just started using Amazon Cloud, so i will be testing that out to see how i'll go by day to day with it. i'm also looking into wireless externals as i've been meaning to get a 2nd backup for my music. Seagate has a very nice one. i figure, i could use that to connect to my GTab as well without the hassle of dongles.

No issues.
Got mine too.
Kind of fat, heavy, dull screen,...
...oh wait, that was my iPad
This thing rocks!
Got my Metallic Grey 16GB Tab. Loving it! My bestbuy had about 20-30. All models. Bestbuy wasn't displaying them though. Claimed they didn't know where to place them, even though they had a tablet section with just the XOOM and Iconia.
Anyway, I had a XOOM then an iPad 2, then an iconia, then an iPad 2, and now a Tab 10.1. And I think it's a keeper!
Thanks radiohead14 for the answers given. Return as soon as you can to post more information
more thoughts - the speakers are surprisingly pretty good for their size. and I recommend everyone to get Thumb Keyboard. IMO.. much better and convenient than stock. it splits the keyboard so you could easily type with your thumbs. I also prefer Dolphin HD browser - seems to be more stable than stock.

Keyboard Folio Case for Acer Iconia Tab A500 Arrives and Works

Just got this so only some quick feedback right now -
I received this today after waiting 3-4 weeks for it to arrive from overseas. For $20 I was skeptical BUT after arriving I am actually pretty pleased.
Pros -
It actually works well. Very responsive and no real delay in typing
It looks pretty good and is not that thick.
The material looks reasonably nice and material does not seem inexpensive which was surprising
They sent an additional larger metal stylus with a soft tip. Very nice.
All of the keys seem to work, with the exception of the "windows" key that I never expected to work. I have not tested out the F keys but will in the coming days.
USB plug plugs in nicely and really not that noticeable.
Nice kickstand to hold up tablet at a good angle.
Cons -
Only one real one and that is that there is no top tab to hold the tablet in if turned upside down that way. The tablet can and will slide out. I see this as a problem for many, but not for me as I will simply hold it upright whenever carrying.
I think I might be able to retrofit something to act as a type tab and I will look into that in the coming days.
I plan to do a full review and take additional pictures and video.

I do find it amusing that it has a windows key on it. Would be better still if it was bluetooth so the USB port was freed up
i am using the folio keyboard to make this rely and it is working perfectly still, even on the net. I agree about the port thing and if Acer would ever make a bluetooth keyboard folio like apple and the xoom have it would be great - but not yet.
I am now looking at the adapter to make the micro port a normal usb port or a simple small usb splitter for the normal usb port. either way this is pretty nice to use the keyboard versus the onscreen keyboard.
I will add this - i do not know what the F keys are for on the keypad because again those are normally Windows functions and this is obviously not running on a windows machine.
also the keypad is a little smaller then normal so does take some getting used to , but if you are used to typing on a blackberry or mobile phone this is way way larger so not to hard to get the hang of it
Damn I can't buy it from spain... and they've raised the price to $33

I agree - saw the same thing, but took a chance at only $30 and it works really well. I am typing this reply to you on it - no delays, the keyboard works great. Sure some of the windows related buttons don't work but that is fine. It makes typing soooooooooo much easier and it looks pretty nice.

thanks for letting me know. im seriously thinking about getting it.
Wow, that looks nice. Think I'll order one from Amazon, it's about the same price after shipping ($35).
Thanks for the review.
hi TV, let me know what method you end up on to stop the acer falling out the top. so far used this quite a lot and given its price i still think it is a useful piece of kit. certanly makes my typing a lot quicker.. Now looking at a mouse pad to add to the set up and i will have a perfect little Netbook
;
dit; at the moment i ahve a couple of pieces of cardboard stuffed down the abck to keep it a little more secure
How does it slide out of the top if there's a latch which goes over the case??

Here is what I did - I have a heavy thick oversized rubber band that I put around the case when it is closed. I found a black one that matches the color (almost) of the case material. I put it around and over the top so it wont slide out that way.
I also ALWAYS carry it with the latch side up.
How are you going to add the mouse? Are you going to get a splitter for the USB port?
i see that the band would do the trick quite well, certainly you need to be holding it with the latch shut otherwise - bye bye acer . i think i see this as a reasonable way forward, the keyboard is for me far better than the soft when i can use it, bu ti also want to be able to slip the acer out and carry it when i need., i guess i will add a Skinomi tyoe skin to it for the protection it needs wehn it is running free.
re the mouse, is a bit expnesive but i a still looking at something like this:
http://www.ergonomictouchpad.com/eu/tablettouchpads.com/
and for the USB i though a micro hub similar to this might do the trick.

the touch screen mouse is pretty cool, especially how flat and portable it is. I like it but might opt for a standard wireless mouse if I am going to split the one USB port into multiple ones.
I was looking at a splitter like this one - http://www.amazon.com/High-Speed-Flexible-4-Port-Splitter-Cable/dp/B002670LY0 which gives you 4 USB inputs or this one that gives you 2 - http://milo.com/enercell-yc-8868-usb-splitter-cable
Thoughts?

New bluetooth keyboard folio for Acer Iconia Tab - Being Returned - Junk

Has anyone bought one of these yet? If yes how are they working.
Seems to be available at Sears for around $100 and on Amazon for 1/2 that at $50
I would love some feedback if anyone has any.

netbooks are cheaper
WOW..
Well to me First off it does not have a pointing device.Secondly .Its less portable then my notebook.I cant see putting in even my biggest purse. and to pack it around in my hand or over my shoulder defeats the whole purpose of a mobile OS device.. We sacrifice function for mobility and on the go use.. That case to me takes the mobility out of the Iconia or any tablet for that matter..I think if you must have a full keyboard get a netbook.
Just my two pennies...
My question was if anyone had this yet and could give actual feedback on this bluetooth keypad folio since there has not been one available for the acer iconia tab since I got mine. The ipad has one. The xoom has one. But nothing for the acer and something that has been widely posted that people are looking for.
If I leave my house and have ONLY my tablet then I am looking for a folio similar to what the other tablets have that will give me the full keyboard while not sacrificing one of my ports because it has to plug in. This seems to be the first option of this available.
I hope to see some actual feedback from a person who has one soon.
ALSO I HOPE this is the start of more similar bluetooth keyboard folio options becoming available.
I've got a USB one that I ordered on ebay shipping...
I have no input on the item in question. It seems to be a pretty good keyboard. I like this one. It provides more portability.

here are tons of other threads here and on other forums about the wireless keyboards available. This thread is specifically about the bluetooth keyboard folio combo that seems to be newly available.
Hey TV you are completly right! My apologies on the hijack! My best advice is to read people's reviews. The most helpful one for this keyboard states "3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect match!, February 7, 2012
By Peter E. - See all my reviewsThis review is from: i-Blason NTK Series Premium Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Folding Folio Leather Case For Acer Iconia A500 10.1 16GB 32GB Tablet New (Electronics)
This keyboard is a perfect match for my son's Iconia A500. It is the same length, it pairs instantly, and just works so great! I recommend this keyboard! Forgot to mention that manufacturer claims it is water proof too. This could come in handy since I am a heavy diet coke drinker "
Cheers
Seems decent. Never liked the idea of waisting USB slot for the keyboard case .... hopefully someone picks one up and reviews?

Awesome , the way I see it, even if I bring a bt keyboard with me most the time there is no where or not much room to use it thats why a folio bt (not USB) keyboard would be sweet. Hope build quality is nice?

Targus bluetooth keyboard
I purchased a targus Bluetooth keyboard for $40 at Costco Canada. It works great with my a500.
Received today the i-Blason NTK Series Premium Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Folding Folio Leather Case For Acer Iconia A500 10.1 16GB 32GB Tablet - (http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-NTK-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard/dp/tech-data/B006W31UJE/ref=de_a_smtd). So far it is working really well. Entire thing is average quality, but I did not expect much for $40-50.
Pairing was easy. After plugging in the keyboard to charge I simply went to the bluetooth setup on the tablet and it found it quick and paired right up.
The bluetooth keyboard is a silicone keyboard attached to a neopreme/rubbery feeling lower panel that makes the keyboard not move at all when put against the inside of the folio, which is a similar material. The keys are not the largest BUT also not the smallest. The construction of this keyboard panel feels a little flimsy and the keyboard is obviously glued onto the panel below it, but it works.
I have had no problem at all typing on the keyboard when using the tablet.
The case is a composite fake like material like most of the other similar cases. All openings, ports, camera windows are open and available which is a positive plus.
Here are the pictures -
This is the plastic case the wireless keyboard folio was delivered in.
Picture of the case open with the tablet in it. I have the keyboard set further back but you can move it around for your own comfort as you will see below. This also allows you to change the angle of the tablet if you want which is positive.
Another of the tablet in the case
Another angle of the tablet in the case -
here you can see the folio with the keyboard moved down to the end. It does not move at all due to the material. You can also see how the tablet angle has now changed with the different keyboard position.
Picture of the back of the folio with the tablet in it.
Picture of the keyboard panel and blue tooth keyboard. The keyboard does have a rubbery feel and the buttons are not as firm as a normal plastic key keyboard, but it does feel like most other silicone keyboards I have used in the past.
Notice how all of the F (function) keys have been replaced with preset smiley keys. This is an OK feature I guess but it would have been cool to have some programmable keys to use if possible.
Another picture of the keyboard
And another picture of the keyboard. Notice the charging port in upper right. Keyboard folio comes with a USB cable to plug keyboard into computer or other USB charging option. Online description for this item lists the following:
- Built-in Lithium Lion Battery Capacity: 500 mAh/ Water proof
- Standby time: 60 Days/ Uninterrupted Working time: 40 Hours/ Fully Charged in 3~3.5 Hours
I don't know if this is true yet as i am still charging it for the first time.
Side view with the folio open
Side view with the folio closed. No way for the tablet to fall out.
Other side view with folio closed
Picture of the top of the folio and the openings
Picture of the keyboard folio with tablet in it closed #1
Picture of the keyboard folio with tablet in it closed #2
Picture of the keyboard folio with tablet in it closed #2
Comparison pictures of new bluetooth folio on left and wired usb keyboard folio on right.
The new bluetooth keyboard folio is smaller then the USB keyboard folio and not nearly as thick. Also the keyboard is WAY safer in the new one and very little chance of falling out.
The keypad on the USB keyboard folio is slightly larger and the keys firmer and made out of a plastic material versus the silicone keys on the bluetooth keyboard folio.
Update - having some problems with the following
1) The pairing of the device seems to have issues and drops or I cant figure out how to keep it connected.
2) the keys are having some sticking issues where the same letter will go about 20 times and then just stop working.
This might be going back. I have emailed the seller for some additional info and/or guidance.
Will report back as I learn and hear more. Thanks!
This piece of junk is going back. It is just not working correctly.
Good to know thanks for testing, sucks its junk sorry to hear that

no problem - back to the USB one that DOES work perfectly and has a good keyboard. The quest for a bluetooth keyboard folio that works will continue, lol
I have a friend that took a thicker portfolio he got for 15.00 at a show. Took a rubber flat rollable keyboard (usb) and attached it inside the portfolio (no worry about it scratching screen) and shortned or used a shortend usb flat cord. IT works well, he got the smaller rubber keyboard that is same width at frys. Which oddly has an addtional usb port and small hub built in even tho its a floppy rubber keyboard. (totally water proof).

Considering buying the Note 10.1

So I'm considering to buy the Note but there's one thing holding me back. I tried 3 show models and all had a little problem with the S-Pen. I noticed that they had little spots (every device had at least one and all in a different place, the diameter was around half a cm) which weren't accurate at all. The whole touchscreen was really accurate, but when I went over the spot, the line would just move randomly within the spot.
Is this a common issue? Or maybe in older devices or something?
Anyone any word on this?

Never seen it on mine.
Me either. Haven't seen it in the forum either.

I'm fairly certain that wasn't the problem when I tried it. I think I had my palm on the device but the device should ignore your palm in S-Note right? Also the spot was consistent as far as I'm concerned. But maybe it's a fault with the first batch or something. I plan on using it for drawing so a problem like this would be pretty major to me.

Don't buy the Note 10.1. It's disappointing in many levels. The S-Pen a total disappointment.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna return it tomorrow.
Best tablet I have ever had.
S pen is fantastic.
I was not sure when first looked in the shop. For me s note looked a bit toy town.
Then I installed lecturenotes and never looked back.
All my meeting notes are on the note 10.1 now.
Really happy.

Why is that then?
I'm also considering getting a Note 10.1, but I don't want to make a new thread. Any college students have one? I've got a Galaxy Note right now, so I'm familiar with the S Pen and I know it's improved in the 10.1. My question is what does everyone use it for? And will it be useful in the classroom?

I use it for college, particularly taking notes in class, working out math problems, and making lists of things.. its also helped me improve my drawing aa bit.
My brother hhas also been working with autocad recently and he sends me designs in 3d which i can then open up and look at on my tabby..
I use it to do all my surfing nowadays, i watch my netflix on it, i play chess with friends on it, nova 3 (with ps3 controller soon ), n64 emulator, i used it to film a concert, the gps is mindblowingly good and has saved me a couple of times, i use the remote control function of it... i could go on and on.
Im very satisfied, except slightly with the sensitivity issue near the edges mentioned on another thread and with the lack of ports and accessories.
If those are deal breakers for you, move on
Edit: oh and to elaborate on the sensitivity thing, everything works fine except one of the sides has a line about one centimeter off the bezel, maybe 2 millimeters wide where the dot on the screen seems to go slightly faster tthan the pen itself.. this makes things distorts slightly when im working near that edge.. nothing terribly noticable, its like working near the center of a thick book, where its kinda hard to write neatly.

Truedat
fenjen (the OP) is right. At least a batch of note 10.1 have that issue, mine included. :crying: And it's also rather pronounced. It shows up drawing lines slowly and applying low pressure. With higher pressure and drawing faster, it virtually disappears. You can clearly see it in the twoscreenshots I have attached.
It is a bit annoying, and I am considering returning my note to samsung for a replacement, but in the end I probably won't, because I prefer living with the issue rather than having to deal with the painful samsung aftermarket assistance.
