Clue's in the name: Samsung's next Galaxy Note line captures scrawls with responsive stylus then punts them over to a PC

AlastairBlakey

Samsung's Note app desperately needs "add" and "remove" horizontal space function.

12 pages into taking some notes, I realise I need to add a paragraph on page 1. In any sane world, the app would offer functionality to "move everything after this point down by n centimetres".

Then, when I'd added my paragraph, I could close up the notes by "moving everything up by n cm after this point".

Compare with Windows Journal. Samsung are being plain unhelpful by not adding this functionality.

Standard File dialogs for Android?

That's silly talk. Giving Android standard file dialogs, so users could choose which directory and file to open or save? That's madness. It would be "helpful", which is the antithesis of Google UI design, under which apps are rated highest for maximum user-hostility.

You're indestructible, always believe in 'cause you are Go! Microsoft reinvents netbook with US$399 ‘Surface Go’

Is there a seperate page for comments about the MS Surface Go?

This page seems to be just for uninteresting flamewar...

I wanted to mention that I hope MS will now revert to having Windows Journal be a fully supported application. It's _the_ solution for handwriting input: OneNote is not a good tool in that space.

Also interesting that, now that they have a 10" offering again, MS can admit that that is the optimum size for handwriting input.
