i have evernote so i can take notes in class, i have the calendar to schedule appointments but what else can i be using for a business solution ? or just productive in general. i have splashtop HD but how can i move files on my home computer to my tablet ?
what other things do you recommend to make this tablet do some work !
A little research on the forum wouldn't hurt. Have a look at the list of the apps for the Infinity we've been jointly creating.
they are all either for games or for general tablet use, i want specificially named apps that would make the tablet a workstation, or creative ways to use this, not just apps themselves. for example, people shouldnt wait for a 3g model, root your phone and wifi tether your already exsisting data plan.
so far the only office suit ive found for free is kingssuite office , and using BOX from this thread gives 50 free gb of cloud storage http://lifehacker.com/5887769/grab-50gb-of-free-storage-for-life-on-box-by-using-the-android-app other tips are welcome
If you root and own a keyboard dock, you might want to check out setting up a Debian or Ubuntu chroot. Think of it like desktop linux in an application, letting you run software like Libreoffice or Gimp. Since those applications are made for desktop computers and laptops instead of tablets, they're a lot more flexible.
I've got a Debian chroot set up and its pretty sweet. Apps are a little slow to launch, but once they're up they act pretty fast. I'd write a tutorial, but I"m having trouble getting it to cleanly shut down. If you're not afraid to do a little googling, you should be able to set one up for yourself without too much trouble.
Often wondered why I have a tablet
Probably an ages old question...
I know the main reason is because I am a gadgeteer.
I do use the tab for navigation and other home user stuff.
Seeing more and more ipads and android phones used by small business owners.
A coffee hut near us is using a tablet as an order slate and a cash register.
The last time we dined at Chevy's grill they have tabs on the tables for gaming, texting, ordering drinks and cashing out.
As far as personal use for this owner I'm still looking for an application that will make the tab an indispensable item.
Maybe some day a tablet device will help an old-timer like me organize his thoughts :highfive:

I'm going to agree with everyone else. Google or search the forums. But I will play your game sir...
Airdroid - hands down you have to download today, if you want to move files.
Splashtop is alright, I also like 2X Client
EverNote = yes
Box.net + Browser for Skydrive + Dropbox + Google Drive
Google Chrome
Pocket - read websites at a later time
Team viewer has been the best remote software on my prime and Infinity for work. Much better than splash top, Log me in, etc all have issues where teamviewer has always been super smooth and consistent. Use it from my phone too.
Why I got a tablet
I admit I'm a bit of a gadget junkie, but I got mine for work as much as home. I'm a teacher of sorts. For a couple years now, I've been floating the idea of getting tablets for the instructors, rather than having multiple binders and notebooks (the analog kind) cluttering up a desk or podium.
I've taken all the PowerPoint slides I use for work, typed all the hand-written notes I had in multiple binders into the Notes Page view of PP, and I view them on my Infinity while I teach. I use EZ pdf to view them. While there are multiple apps that view .pdf files -- like Polaris Office, which comes with the Infinity -- EZ pdf allows me to write on them, using my finger or a stylus.
In addition, I've got my work schedule (multiple schedules, actually) in separate Google calendars, and I view them on Business Calendar or Calendar Pad. I keep a ton of notes in OneNote, though I'm thinking of going back to Evernote.
I've got a bunch of reference material and research articles in .pdf format, and I've bought the Kindle versions of several books that we reference. You can't beat having an entire bookcase in the palm of your hand.

Just use google drive (or dropbox) to save your files too, no need to connect to your desktop.
edit: does polaris allow you to show powerpoints through hdmi but show any powerpoint slide notes on the tablet at the same time?
One of the main reasons for getting this tablet for most would be to make use of the s pen.
This is a short review of the note apps that make use of both handwritten and typed notes.
1. Samsung apps - snote and smemo .. really good apps and lots of editing options... Its default and I am sure every one knows about it
2. I have both lecture notes ( paid) and freenote( donate version ) .
Both are good but I like freenote more as it offers more editing options and easy to make quick notes.
Both devs are very responsive to requests..
3. If you use evernote, it has an association with skitch. Works well but very limited editing options...
4. Onenote - Best note application ever.. Nothing can beat it but in android it not well implemented yet...
In android i use onenote from microsoft and mobilenoter . Both these onenote applications needs more updates.
Onenote from Microsoft app - you will a internet connection all the time to get it working smooth... Offline access is kind of limited. No handwritten notes.
Mobilenoter is expensive but give more options to editing and viewing notes. It was terrible with handwritten notes. With the recent mobilenoter updates ( in the past few weeks) it looks much more promising. Again editing options of individual notes are very limited.
(If you ask me one app that i want in my tablet, it would be a fully working version of onenote)
Unfortunately except for evernote none of them provide a desktop syc for the handwritten notes.. If there was an app that would do this ,
There are plenty of apps out there, like phat note and so on....
please tell us more about what you use and your experience..

Is it possible to take a whole page of notes using handwriting on the Note 10.1 and then convert to text?
May be a dumb question but I'm thinking if I take lots of notes at a meeting then I would like to be able to convert them to a document.

I am exactly in the same boat. In a meeting last week I took 13 pages of notes using S-Note. I can export them to PDF but thats about it. Mobilenoter seems to be the best thing to bet on. But the reviews seem to be very negative. I don't have a problem maintaining a live account with only onenote 2010 notebooks, so if they fix their handwriting issues I'll be a customer!

If you. want to send the notes as text from S-note, use the share via option as opposed to export,however you will not be able to send drawings.
If you want to write in your own handwriting, there is an app called 7notes on Google play that will let you take notes and convert them later into text. The app has really good handwriting recognition too if you want the notes converted on the fly.
Look for Supernote ..its made by Asus and is similar to freenote in that you can handwrite anywhere and moves it to the top. Link...... http://www.everbot.com/files/Asus_Supernote_v_1.4.apk
I also use 7notes. My HW is horrific and it does a great job of converting it. You can use it anywhere, in pretty much any app that uses a keyboard.

S memo has been replaced with S Note, you can bring up the mini app version by clicking the small arrow on your status bar at the bottom to make a quick note.
I will Quill and Papyrus from the market. They both provide vector based pdf output.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but i use foldersync lite, with my drop box, to backup and sync my notes. I currently use lecture notes and have the folder with my notes synced every 2 hours.
Just an idea for you.
Did you do the schedule from within LN or using an external app?

Probably not in the way you are thinking. They are png's so they should be editable, but it wouldn't be a clean solution.

Dropsync is the tool I use for autosyncing. Also LectureNotes allows export and import via .pdf, so if you can edit .pdfs you're food. Finally, Lecturenotea can export direct to Evernote.
I haven't seen it mentioned here but I like it more than Lecture Notes - Writepad Stylus works great with S Pen (and I prefer setting the pen in it to be the only input - you can do that in settings).
I quit using WS when Quill came out. I use Quill for vector and LN for all else. The LN dev rocks big dog. Working on keyboard and jpg/png image for background. Really pleased.

+1 on Freenote. I've tried LectureNotes, Quill, AntiPaper, PhatPad, and some others. Freenote offers a lot more flexibility in including ink, typed text, pics, paint, links, tags, "To Do" lists, ink calendar tracking, etc. It is the closest app to OneNote I've found on Android. I think its biggest liabilities are that the GUI is not "sexy" -- it looks clunky-- and that the range of options and tools make it confusing to figure out. Steep learning curve. But if you want to switch instantly between ink/text/images/paint, etc., I don't think it has any competition.
Best Freenote feature: The writing panel for inking. It lets me handwrite in large exaggerated strokes at the bottom of the page, which it inserts as scaled smaller ink in a straight line elsewhere on the page, and which it is smart enough to auto-wrap to the next line at the page margin. 7Notes/Mazec offers a similar feature, but I find it to be a bit more clunky since I have to hit "enter" at the end of each line before it inserts.

I too consider this to be the 'holy grail' of app features, but it is sorely lacking. I found a work-around that lets me ink on my GNote in a Word doc via Polaris, and also ink the same doc on my tablet PC via Dropbox. But to be honest, the "inking" experience I show via Polaris is so limited (very few features beyond changing ink thickness) that I have largely stuck with Freenote.

Trans device inking is a big thing and unfortunately none of the apps support it well..
However, mobilenoter which was a terrible app before, has changed a lot especially with the most recent update.
I brought this app a long time ago and had many issues.
After the most recent update I tried it again and works great..
This is what I do
1. i have folder in my sd card synced with the onenote folder in pc
2. the onenote folder in pc is synced with skydrive
3. i edit and make notes in my android using mobile noter.
4. Now all changes are synced with my pc when i get home
Limitations of mobilenoter now are
1. Mobilenoter syncing option to cloud is still not great... Hence the work around i mentioned above
2. editing options are very limited
Workaround now is to make new notes in freenote and export to mobile noter
The benefit of cloud sync is that I can open the onenotes in another pc ( on a web browser) at work and do changes.
Thanks for the suggestions. I also dream of a robust OneNote app available on Android... Until then, can I clarify a few of your tips?

I just got a note 10.1 and I am trying to figure out the best work flow to make it most efficient for me. I want to be able to take meeting notes etc using the handwriting to text feature. How is the best way to sync these to my work laptop and use/publish in MS Word? I would love to hear how some of you guys use your note for work. Thanks.

I use my note 10.1 religiously at work. Meeting notes, brainstorming, workflow management and the usual email, Calender stuff. I've still not found the "holy grail" app(s) but here is a sampler of my "note-taking" apps :
Evernote : I dump all sorts of reference materials for easy searching and lookup. Including meeting notes, key reports. Including output from all of the following.
Pdf annotation (Pdfmax, ezpdf, repligo) : use these a lot for reviewing/taking notes on meeting packs.
Free handwritten Notepad replacement (papyrus, lecture notes) : if I want to take more free form notes.
Outliner (workflowy Web app) : recently been testing this out and am loving the simplicity, helps keep focus on the key concepts, structure
Handwriting keyboard (mazec2, stock) : can use with any input area requiring keyboard entry. Not perfect but love the flexibility.
Sounds like a list of all the "in" apps, but I need a bit of flexibility /optionality as some days I'm just not feeling the handwriting mood.
my biggest issue, we have a bunch of "great components" but it lacks what I'd call full work suite integration. I would love for an aggregated solution that has all of the above options/ components in one integrated app (yes maybe I'm being unrealistic but I can dream) :
1) flexible notetaking app (choice between free form, structured or allow typing) that allows for timestamp, tagging directly into action items/tasks lists, by "paragraph". Something that allows you to take notes, circle a paragraph to be tagged and databased directly to 2) evernote type reference repository for these notes as well as additional reference material. Again leveraging the same tagging methodology (evolving. E.g. GTD) 3) all this wrapped into a very integrated solution (including email, contact, Calender, task manager for fully integrated workflow management)
I'm trying to achieve this now with multiple apps but getting integration between all of these components is a bit clunky... Hope that helps?

(OP) if you litteraly just bought the 10.1 I would head right back to the store to return and wait till next week cause the note 10.1 (2014) comes out. Which is overall way better in every way than 10.1. Don't get me wrong I have the 10.1 but ill def be upgrading next week. Or as long as it in return period just return and get new same day should be same price if not $50 more.
Sorry don't have specific app names. But I'm sure what you want is out there. I would just search for key word on play store. And make sure to read description and everyone's comments not just first 3.
If I come across anything interesting ill def reply back here. But look up the 2014 note 10.1 if you haven't heard of it. Way better for work too!
Sadly, I would say get a Surface Pro 2 with MS Office. As someone who used tablet pc's for many years, and someone who loves my Galaxy Note, I am of the opinion that nothing in the Android system can compete with Office and OneNote on a tablet PC. I persoanlly use LectureNotes for all my handwritten meeting notes. I export my LectureNotes to PDF and Dropsync that folder to my Dropbox. That is the best I can do to have acess to my notes on my computer, but that does not give handwriting recognition like you are looking for. Using SNote for the handwriting recognition does not offer an easy option sync with evernote, nor could I get a clean PDF export to work. That might be solvable, but I have not looked into it too much because I prefer LectureNotes to SNote. For the others who posted that they were interested, I also have not been able to find anyhing that allows integration of calendar and tasks like MS Office when using OneNote.
Just my opinion. Since no one could supply you with an acceptable answer.

I use my 10.1 almost exclusively for notes and pdf annotations at work.
For handwritten notes, I use the native S-Note app and export to pdf on google drive.
I have also used Write, which has a windows viewer. Documents are all SVG and HTML, so they export directly.
pdf annotations seem to work well in Foxit pdf (free), although Google is advertising that QuickOffice will do the same.
Dear folks looking for above , 'MyScript stylus beta' is out and for me personally it's a massive improvement over other alternatives... My handwriting is horrible but this is snappy, accurate and featured keyboard.
Doesn't hurt to try , check out Google + community for feedback.

I have found Fiinote to be a good note taking app with a desktop and a web interface as well as several export options.
I use text input, but it has handwriting recognition as well (which I have not used much). It is a great Evernote replacement as far I am concerned.
I have used Zappier to get my notes out of Evernote and export them into fiinote relatively easily.
I love my Franklin Planner, it just works. Pen and Paper have got me through everything. However, I want to go digital. i have used SO many of the Android planner/task/calendar apps, but they are not giving me what I need. I need a tablet that I can use a stylus and then some sort of layout like a Franklin Daily Planner http://content.etilize.com/1300/1013028699.jpg
Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems like it would be easy to do, have the Daily Planner interface and be able to write with your stylus into those spaces and have it either convert to text or just leave it as writing, I don't care. I just want a digital version of my planner. Thanks for any help!
Hi folks,
I have recently purchased my Note Pro 12.2 and am loving the handwriting recognition. I want to use this to replace my day book, and have been playing with SNOTE and Hancom Office. Hancom is the current preferred app , as it is very microsoft like. I want to change the default font, text size and line spacing.
I can do this for every doc, but I want to set a template that includes these changes so every "new" doc will have these settings. Does anyone know how I can do this ?
I also want to change the icons on the toolbar on the right hand size of the page, if this is possible.

Great site by the way! Lots of great info.

I'm not sure what your needs are, but also take a look at papyrus. I am a college student and have totally replaced paper notebooks using the note 12 and papyrus. It really doesn't get much better.

I am a business user and am looking to replace my daybook noteswith the notepro.To do this I need to have an app compatible with Microsoft Office, that has a layer of text, and a layer for drawing/ notes. Hancom Office is great for most of this, just needs tweaks to the templates and the UI, and it come free with the Tablet. With the right template it will do everything I need.
I can't find a Manual on how to save a personalised Template though, or change the UI. I have looked at the Samsung & Hancom sites and no manuals!!
