I think I read stowable somewhere, so I suppose it has it's place.

The pen slots into the body just like on n900. Surprised though that you don't plan just to embed it in your own flesh as a show of intent, Chuck.

If my N900 dies, this will be my replacement. In a way, the Galaxy Note is where Nokia should have taken the N800.

On a screen this big, I can live without a hardware keyboard. For me, the downside is that the Galaxy Note doesn't have stereo speakers.

I'm interested, could be my daily driver.

Stylus is included like the N900.

The screen: 5.3 inch, capacitive, 1280x800, Super AMOLED Plus.

Look at the original Samsung video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRxjopfC1Gs

How am I gonna resist this :confused:

At 31seconds you can see the stylus is a plastic one ... ie for Resistive Screens like the N900...

HERE it fails to mention if it is a capacitive or resistive screen. I'm thinking it has the glass-capacitive as one layer, on top of a resistive layer, on top of the screen (ie pixels).

A setup which I'm skeptical about.

edit: Scratch all that, it is an active digitizer. And the screen resolution is 1280×768 NOT 1280x800, still greater than 720p! Samsung accidentally told me :D

is it really? it looks much more like a 16:10 aspect than a 16:9..............

great device, brilliant hardware and brilliant design.

only a shame it runs android, but the de-emphasis on the hardware buttons tells me it will get ice-cream sandwich pretty swiftly!

will they finally sort out proper multitasking with ICS?

I've been looking for bigger screen device for better youtube and web usability. The Galaxy Note is currenly the best somewhat pocketable replacement for my N900.

The 7" and 10" tabs will likely have similiar price tags.

I just gotta figure out which one fits me best.

Wow, that's so cool.
I have a watch with a barometer sensor, and I always check the pressure. It's always good to know, but very useful if you hike and stuff. I even built my own barometer, with a PIC, LCD and barometric sensor.
