I just noticed that Samsung's market finally had more than just two apps in it. This is for the uk, and they look pretty uk specific, but the new apps that just appeared are:
Sky News
Investment week
WH Smith eBooks
(the pre-existing apps were radio companion and blinkx beat)
Just what the Tab needed: another eBook reader. As though we didn't have enough already (and I note that the install screen says it doesn't [yet] sync if you already have a web account).
Any interesting apps in other countries?

I have my Tab with a Voda SIM in it in UK and all I see is the Companion Radio.
The first day I got my tab, I'm sure I recall there being 2 or 3 other apps, but I was having a serious problem with something and had to hard reset. They never showed up since.
I've installed a couple of the new apps:
The WHSmith app looks pretty enough but it wants me to register to buy a book even if the book I want to buy is 'discounted' by 100% so I haven't yet bothered. A random sample of one book (I shall wear midnight) is £12.61 as a WHSmith eBook, $12.80 Amazon.com Kindle, £8.09 amazon.co.uk Kindle so it doesn't look too promising.
The Sky News app might actually be useful: text stories, most with click through to a (low resolution) video. There's also an option to read the stories out loud though some of the speech synthesis is a bit wayward. One obvious bug is that they've used a font which displays the unicode fallback diamond character instead of a pound sign which for a supposedly UK app with a 'business news' section shows a remarkable lack of testing. Also I'd really like a technology section and the option to turn off 'showbiz'.
One feature I haven't seen elsewhere is the 'Your Report' section that you can use to upload stories to Sky. However they don't get many points for telling me to refer to terms and conditions at skynews.com without actually providing any links.
Is it possible to change the country of samsung apps ? Because i bought my tab on amazon.de but i live in France and i would like to buy or download apps that are available in france.
I think it depends on the SIM
i have a french sim but no french apps...
Seeing as how the SamsungApps app won't even start without a SIM present, it suggests it's checking the locale of the SIM to see what apps are available to the region. I've got nothing whatsoever in mine, presumably since the Tab isn't available in New Zealand.
Yes you can change it. Open the dialer and type in the code:
*#272*YOURIMEI#
Put your IMEI number where it says YOURIMEI and it will allow you to switch country codes. If you change the country code you will lose your stuff. It will be like a system restore so make sure you backup your stuff.

Yes, bizarrely once you install something it disappears from the list which makes it very confusing. I had another look at the "Sky News" app last night and noticed that all of the sports stories were from November 7th: they've updated them now but it was a bit bizarre seeing their headlines were about F1.

Showing now for me too.
Seems to be the full version, must be annoying for those people that may have previously bought it!
I think there must be something firware dependent that controls what apps are visible because I had a few Apps on my UK Tab until I upgraded via samfirmware.com to JK5 and now I don't have anything in there but the radio companion.
Anybody else in the UK using a Voda sim and can confirm whether or not any other apps are visible?
Mines got a UK orange sim in it, do they filter it by network too or just location..?
So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?
Edit - I found out it currently does not sync with multiple devices.
Does anybody have any idea when/if the "iAnnotate PDF" App will be actually available in the "S Choice" on the "Galaxy Note"?
This is an iPad App and it's site says there is no Android version yet, but it's featured here:
samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note/applications.html
as a major app... However it is not pre-installed on my phone and is not available, as far as I can tell. Some other apps featured here are available, but this one is not. Not yet, anyway.
I've noticed that launching Samsung Apps requires the SIM in place. So is it possible that this App is available in Samsung Apps store if accessed from, say UK, but not when accessed from US?
Thanks.
P.S. I live in US, but my Galaxy Note came from Germany.
That site you linked clearly states that the apps mentioned as "Coming Soon".
This could be one good app for us

that app does look very nice considering it might have weight effect on the pen. Unfortunately i have been using a pdf nnotator on the noe which didnt have a weight effect but i recently had to remove everything from sd card because i was getting too many adverts and it kept turning off randomly.
I want that old pdf annotator back now! i think i had one in word as well, it was very nice.
the reason i am here though is im interested in the best way to look at multiple pdfs and multitask! would it just be a case of using like four different viewers?? i think i am answering my own quesion really, unless there is a way two have an application open twice.

That's funny...
The "(coming soon)" next to some Apps wasn't there earlier.
Now it's pretty clear that their release is simply delayed.
As a matter of fact, Goodreader for ipad is the best annotate pdf app out there.
it has a useful feature to extract all text highlited both with goodreader, with adobe acrobat, even with the galaxy note only worthy program for pdf editing: ezPDF.
even adobe acrobat can't extract highlighted text content (if it's not highlited in adobe).
basically, i am saying that iAnnotate functions are all there with ezPDF for android. i've tried also repligo reader but pen interaction is bad and everytime you lift the pen while ending the highlight, the text is deselected again.
what i am doing now is using dropbox to get the pdf, annotate and stickynote with ezPDF, then saving back to dropbox, edit them if necessary with adobe reader, then when all editing is done, i use GoodReader to extract just the annotation and sending them via eMail back to me.
got it?
PV.
nice work. will definitely look into this methodology at some point, presumably you have an ipad stuck on your desk then ?
i know what you are saying about adobe not even being able to highlight highlighted text aswell thats really annoying.
my first step is to re-install ezpdf because i accidently uni stalled it ..
although we're all screwed over with no pressure sewnsitivty in the note's ezpdf, iannotate will solve this though no-one likes writing then highlighting the whole thing to delete too!
I want this app as well... in the hope its a bit better than the .10c Ez PDF Reader Pro I bought...
"Lite" version of this App is finally available!
I think it's not compatible with our Note.
Edit: I finally downloaded app from Samsung App, looks promising but still too simple, I hope this app will be properly developed to reach the same quality as on iPad.

It works on mine, but it's pretty basic. They promise to keep adding features in the coming months...
yes it is, I have it installed, you need to get it from the Samsung market, not the Google/Android one.
Could someone generously provide the apk? Thanks in advance.
FYI, the "iAnnotate PDF" has been available from the Market for awhile now. It is more stable and has more options than the "iAnnotate Lite" version available from the "S Choice".
True, I didn't see it on the play store though, but I have seen it in the S-Choise.

In my opinion what I want to be added more apps to the split screen like social media. Facebook for example or twitter so we can check our post while we are doing something else.
What do you think??
I wish this 2 apps would be available for the android OS:
MS OneNote (the full version)
Google SketchUp
make me want to look around for a windows slate,
perhaps the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2
but for now i'm loving the note
Im pretty happy with it but i could be happier if they add features to snote or make split screen more useful.. ive had times when ive used it and i think its awesome but at the same time it could be alot better

Split screen apps
Since apps can run in various sized windows already, make any app able to run in a split screen. Should be doable. The app would see a 640x800 screen which is the same as lower end phones.
I'd also like them to:
- fix S-Note bugs (there are a LOT) and make it updateable separately from full OS updates.
- support USB devices like disks, Right now when there is a "high power" USB device the OS won't support it, even if it is hooked to a powered hub. let me manage my battery.
- love to see CIFS enabled in the kernel
- Bluetooth DUN (can't seem to find a way to do this)
- Officially support this device with Kies and Kies Air
- Fix the keyboard prediction. base Swype beta is a lot better.
More split screen functionality.
Import pdf's into S-Note (seriously Sammy...) This is broken. Crashes every time.
An official version of MS Office (Excel Word etc.) and OneNote.

Hello everyone, Moleskine Journal app is finally released on Samsung Apps ( I only found it available on Spain's app market for now) and supposedly it is going to be exclusively on Samsung devices for 6 months. It might not replace S Note or Lecturenotes for everyone, but I found it to be quite handy and useful for quick sketches/notes. I'm a big fan of Moleskine and been waiting for this app since it was announced in August. Hope you guys will like it.

How has no one thanked you yet? There is a thread of guys waiting on this
Thank you, I'm glad to see other users making use of this app. I wonder when it will be publicly available in the US and other countries.
Moleskine Journal for the Note 10.1 and Landscape mode
Thanks silverbladef
Upon reading your post I've seen that actually in Samsung apps (Spain) there is it, but only selecting as device the Note and the Note2 and not the Note 10.1.
Hopefully there would be soon a slightly different "tablet" version of the app since, it seems to me, the one for the Note works only in portrait mode and a tablet user should be able to work in landscape mode too, as it can be seen in this document by Moleskine.

Amazing ! I Know it's no S Note but amazing to have
It seems to be a special Samsung version that requires touchwiz to work.
Does fc when opening on CM10 based rom.
Update
The app has been updated to v1.1 and now it is compatible with the Note 10.1 (portrait mode included.) I tried to search for it in the Samsung App Store but no results came up, so you have to go to the "Best S Pen Apps" section and you should be able to see it there.

Great! Thanks silverbladef for the heads up!
The new version (1.1) is finally usable with the GNote 10.1 as it can work in both portrait and landscape mode.
I've tried it (for about half an hour) and my first impression is that there's very great potential but also some work to do... (see "cons" later in this post).
Yet I find it the most simple and effective note taking app amongst the ones I've tried so far.
It has almost all of the essential tools I judge as important and necessary for a S-Pen enabled tablet and some more.
Some of them are:
Free hand pen writing with pressure sensitivity.
Quick commands to change the pen/brush/pencil size/color/transparency
Text box insertion (and editing function at a later time)
Quick tool to free-hand select part of the ink writing or some text box to copy or move it to another position.
Quick way to use image/ink writing or text clips saved in "the pocket" to use them later, also in a different notebooks (this feature is rather unique for note taking apps and could be very useful for some type of usage!).
Some of the cons I've found so far:
There's still some excessive lag in opening the notebooks, in executing some commands and in navigating through pages.
Lack of some custom settings.
Automatic saving process is not fully reliable (i.e. even if almost always the notebook is automatically saved on exit, in some cases during the tests I've made, it wasn't saved and I haven't seen a command to manually save it...)
To summarize I think that the app needs some more testing and streamlining to be used with a 10.1 tablet, but, if the developer goes on to work on and improve it, it will probably soon become one of the best note taking apps (together with my presently favorite one that's LectureNotes).
What I liked most is the ratio between the effectiveness of the available tools and the simplicity of the UI and of the settings.
Yet to improve further the app I think that some few settings should be addedd (i.e. to create custom pens/brushes, to set the pressure sensitivity level or to create more custom templates).
I agree with you. As a big fan of Moleskine, this app probably would never replace S Note for me. I use it if i wanted to sketch or write something quickly with the same feel of the physical journals I posses of. It needs a lot of improvements to be done, a better reliable back up system, and autosaving for sure. One thing I noticed is the pencil/pen setting always defaults to a thicker kind of pen and I have to readjust it every time I open a notebook, frustrating.
I really hope they continue to develop this app, but it has some serious issues. It is soooo SLOW! When a page has any significant amount of writing or drawing on it, it takes ages to load the page, or switch to a new page in a book. It must be storing all the lines as vectors, because even after erasing all the lines with the eraser tool, the page still takes forever to load. Even with a blank book, it takes a couple of seconds to switch to a new page.
The color picker lets you choose a transparency value for a brush, but it doesn't work except for the marker tool, but only if you change transparency, and then adjust brush size.
With a graph paper book, switching from landscape to portrait will mess up the graph paper and make it not square. You have to re-select the graph paper background again to get it back to normal.
The brush size will reset itself when switching from landscape to portrait.
When doing small details or letters at a medium to slow speed, they are automatically deleted.
I like the idea of this app, but right now it really stinks, usability-wise, I'm surprised they released it in its current state.
