I just purchased a tf700 2days ago and i love it but always wishing it to have a pen digitizer , now that the galaxy note 10.1 is already available at bestbuy , the same place where i purchase my tf700 i'm going to return it and get the samsung. I really like the resolution on the asus but the productivity samsung offers using the digitizer is something thats hard to resist. I'm also using an ipad3 so i know how hard to go back to a low resolution like the samsung.
Is it a good move to replace it or just keep it?

Well, I think the Infinity with the keyboard dock (and a wireless mouse) is a super productivity device. I can't really see making that much use of the pen digitizer, so for me it's a no brainer...I would keep the Infinity. But it depends on what you think you'd get more use out of.
Good luck.
I am in the same position as the OP except I have both of them sitting next to me at home. What to do, What to do!
why not read thru the thread thats about 2 threads down from this one which is about the Infinity v. The Note?

Since you have both....what do you prefer, screen resolution or battery life? Digitizer pen or a keyboard attachment? Plastic or aluminum shell? Use the devices and see which one preforms better.
You'll need to make the choice.
A box of 10 capacitive stylus is available at Ebay for $3, problem solved!
I say go with the Infinity, Samsung's update track record is horrible, and the plastic build quality is lacking compared to the Aluminum shell on the Infinity.

You guys really need to do some research. You're comparing apples to oranges.
I traded my Nexus for the Note on Friday and immediately fell in love. Of course, there are a few things I would change about the Note – there are a few things I would change about every smartphone. Aside from being stuck on Gingerbread (with TouchWiz no less), though, I have very little to complain about. And after spending just shy of a week with the phablet, I'm surprised by how much I actually find myself using what I thought to be the least notable feature of the Note, the S Pen (stylus).
Being a stylus, granted it is far better than your typical capacitive stylus and comes with additional functionality (the button), I honestly never thought I would use it all that much. I had no reason to hate it, like most people do, but I figured it would stay in its slot in the back of the phone. I've had my fair share of capacitive styluses (styli?) and found them to be no better than a shaky, inaccurate finger.
I knew the S Pen was different, but I doubted it could be that much different or better. I had tried it in passing (with a few demo units at CES and with Aaron's Note during his challenge), but a few minutes with it really doesn't do the S Pen any justice or give the users the full scope of its abilities.
So what makes it so much better than your average stylus? For one, it isn't capacitive; it's inductive. Using a capacitive stylus, if you touch your hand to the display while trying to write, your palm may also make marks on the display or cause the application to zoom in or out. Since the S Pen is inductive, when it is in use, capacitive input is shut off entirely until the S Pen is lifted from the screen, so you can rest your palm on the display without worrying. But it also has a tiny point about the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen, like resistive styluses of yesteryear. Capacitive styluses come with either felt or rubber tips, making them big and inaccurate.
Like I said, I literally thought I would never use the S Pen. But the Note has replaced the Nexus as my primary device, and I have noticed that I'm using the S Pen almost every time I turn the device on – which is very often. Even if I don't use it, I pull the S Pen out when I flip the cover (I'm using the Samsung Flip Cover on my Note, pictured above) around back and have it ready to go if I need it for a screen shot or a quick note.

I am charging them both to 100% before I really get into it with them.
What one do you think would have the better battery life?
The pen is a nice thing to have once and a while.
I will never buy the dock for the ASUS. I want a tablet not a mini computer.
The shell does not really matter to me. The Samsung does not really feel cheap or like it would break easily. If you drop one of them and it is damaged i am sure the other one would would not be in great shape either.
Is there a difference in the screen material?
Isn't having a Samsung and an Apple in the same household against the law or something...
l have problems with my S-Pen where some spots on the screen will not register correctly with light pressure, do that it will jutter arnoud the spot. As I want to use the note for draeing this isn't something I can just ignore.

With your finger rhat is supposed to happen. Normal capacitive touchscreens aren't as accurate. The S-Pen is using different tech and is not communocating with your normal touchscreen. The pen should be pixel accurate.

That. Doesn't. Help. How hard is it.
I actually went back to the store and the show model and a new model which he got fresh out of the box for me all had the same issue. The Note 10.1 is a poorly made tablet. The pen should be pixel accurate, which it isn't. I actually got an ipad mini instead as Apple offers the best normal capacitive touchscreens on the market.
Hello my friends and welcome to samsung.
Here is how "well" the disgitisers of my note 10.1 N8000, grey, italian with 16GB + 3G, work.
FINGERTOUCH DIGITISER:
S-PEN DIGITISER:
I noticed the issue of the s-pen digitiser first, and just like you, went back to the store to check if the other notes they had there had the same issue. Result: all had the same issue. All in the same screen position. Knowing that the s-pen digitiser is very sensitive to electromagnetic field, and after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I came to the conclusion that the issue is due to poor screening of the s-pen digitiser. In fact I bet that what we see is the field distortion caused by the electrical current flowing along the vertical battery wires running underneath the screen in that position. That's why the issue appears identical, at identical position on all the notes, because it is an hardware issue due to how badly this tablet was engineered.
The other issue, the one of the fingertouch digitiser, I have discovered it today, after having noticed that scrolling in my tablet was not uniform if i was sliding my finger slowly on the screen, and after having asked myself why so often I was missing to hit the virtual keys on the websites, even though I could swear to have tapped precisely in that position. Well... it appears that our nice friends at samsung equipped our beloved tablet with a digitiser with a ridicoluos resolution of around 40 x 25... (!!!!!!!) This means that we can forget forever precision touch input and smooth scrolling.
I was quite happy of this tablet when i bought it. Now I feel so pissed off that I would like to throw this piece of **** out of the window.
Another thing I noticed is that the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 of my friend does not have the fingertouch digitiser issue. Looks like in order to earn even more money than usual, samsung have introduced this feature into us starting from the latest, very acclaimed note 10.1....
wow....
kind regards, Luca.

now try that but slower and you'll see the squiggles
that's true!!!!! it's like if there's a magnetic interference along a diagonalline in the center of the screen, going from top-left to bottom-right
but only if you draw slowly on that points
Well, yes but not exactly. The inteference is vertical, and as I said, I bet my bullocks it's caused by the battery wires.
The resulting effect is just like when you put a paper sheet over a coin, and you scratch over it with a pen (never done it when you were a child?). As you know, you get the image of the coin underneath.
The "scratches" here are the oblique lines that we draw slowly, and the "coin" is the field distortion caused by the electrical current in one of the wires (of which there are four, but for one reason or another, one must cause more interference than the others).
This being a magnetic induction interference, it affects only the s-pen digitiser.
The issue of the capacitive, fingertouch digitiser (or whatever its name is, sorry but I am not native english), I guess is simply due to the fact that it has a very small resolution, due to samsung deliberately wanting to piss us off

Why would I do that if I want a straight line? Pen on paper it's the same, if you go slow enough you will not go straight...
I'm not arguing with anyone, you may be right regarding the interference, but I don't think this device was made to replace a dedicated pro digitizer.
And I did get the general impression that on other tablets the touch is a little more accurate than this one, just to be clear, I'm not saying that is the perfect tablet because I've got one lol. A used 3 tf700 for a week and the screen resolution and touch responsivnes are great, but otherwise is a P.O.S.
I think this note is a decent enough gadget for the price.

It also might not be the display itself. I got my S-Pen wet and when it dried it started to behave erratically. Sometimes it would work perfectly and other times it would be off from the position I had it placed on the screen. It was random. Replacing the pen fixed it.
Don't have this issue with pen or finger using Lecture Notes on Korean made GT-8013 bought from Amazon.
With all the hate/love thread out there about the S4, nobody came up with real alternative about what the S4 could or should have been. I would like to know what REALISTIC spec or features the S4 could have.It would be nice to hear about realistic inovation. Are there other set of CPUs or new wifi technology or some cool obscur apps that could have been integrated here. It's time for all of you scifi fan and creative tecky to step up.(and PLEASE don't talk about the plastic as this have been covered all over).

That's for 'Note' line. I don't think Samsung would degrade the "value proposition" of Note by including S-Pen in Galaxy S-series.
Also, it's a good business decision because it allows Samsung to have 2 distinct flagships in a year.

IMHO, the curved design of galaxy s4 is better than the sharp angular design of HTC one. It feels slightly uncomfortable in the hand thanks to the sharp edges. The plastic could be replaced with carbon fibre or less glossy plastic, though.

I asked this exact same question of a few mates of mine who were "Underwhelmed" with the stats the S4 presented....
I then asked them.... so with the CURRENT technology that is out.... what else would you have liked to have seen in this wonderful device.... and you know what they came up with??? sweet FA... because as it currently stands, the S4 has the most advanced technology out, bar a few minor differences between HTC One and Sony Xperia Z which have a few alternative features on theirs....
I think too many people have looked at the S4 then compared the LOOKS of it to the S3 and have gone.... nah, not interested.... but does the aesthetics of a phone really take away from its overall hardware on the inside? As many people have pointed out, smart people put CASES on their phones anyways.... so the looks of the phone really dont matter too much, as long as the screen is vibrant, 90% of people would probably struggle to tell what kind of phone you have anyways, with the cases attached to them all...
So to answer your question, the only thing i would have wanted to see on the S4 which it didnt have, is litterally nothing... i cant think of anything that any other device has, that the S4 should have, except maybe the waterproof function of the Sony Xperia Z... but i have had my original S2 for almost 2 years now, not a single issue or fault with it, where many of my friends have had issues with water etc, so this function wouldn't even be for me, rather to see them struggle less when it comes to damaging their phones lol

1) Is cumbersome to carry c-pen with you. Heck, I can't even remember to carry a pen with me

At work we're not allowed to have phone so the pen is just to pretend I'm working.
On a more serious note;
I would see a phone with a removable wifi scren so you can remove the flexible screen and wrap it around your wrist. The rest of the phone is in your pocket.
Notice how this thread is only 2 pages long, compared to the other troll/bait S4/HTC ONE threads all over the place. Majority of those complaining about the S4 being a S3+ seem to stumble when they are asked what they would of liked the S4 to come with, based on technology currently available to us. I'm sure a bunch of people are going to say the way it looks. Is that it........the look stops it from being an upgrade.....meh

I think Samsung would say that eye-scrolling is even better. I'm very anxious to see how it actually perform in the real world. I already use and love the Smart-stay/ S-voice activated camera/S-voice on music player (via bluetooth) and S-voice answer the phone.
I love this phone, but the larger size (coming from a GS2) definitely puts a strain on my thumb as I move it up and down the screen, especially to hit the buttons. I don't have small hands, but I don't have large hands either, and this is definitely causing some discomfort after heavy usuage.
So, in case anyone else is experiencing this is well, a nice solution is to install Pie Control from the play store and configure it to provide home, back and menu buttons on the sides of the screen when you swipe. It works great, just takes a while to get into the habit, and it's much quicker and easier than moving all the way to the bottom to press the buttons. It's completely configurable as well.
Lol, gave me a chuckle.
I had a similar situation when I got my s3 coming from an s1. Eventually I got used to the larger screen and just naturally started holding the phone differently. My s4 isn't a great deal bigger than my s3 but it is noticeable. You will all get used to the size in no time at all, I promise.

I had a similar problem going to s3 but I have small hands. I had to get treated for an injury at the base of my palm which was probably due to one-handed use. I kind of avoid using my thumb for scrolling or pressing buttons while holding the phone one-handed. I just use the index finger of the other hand to touch the screen. As a general rule, if you have discomfort using something, don't keep doing it, or take a rest, or find another way to do it. I learned the hard way

Yeah, very true! That's why I'm trying out the Pie Control, so far it's working pretty well. Also alternating by using my left hand when possible.

I tried using Pie Control for a while but it became a bit of an annoyance whenever you didn't want to touch it. Another thing you can do, if your S4 version supports it, is to install an AOSP-based ROM and turn on the soft/virtual keys so that they appear above the capacitive buttons. Then turn off the capacitive buttons and their LED (the hack is found in a Google search). This makes reaching for the buttons easier but at the expense of shorter screen space.
There will be insensitive people here who will scoff at and mock your problems (happened to me before too, just for saying I had small hands), but RSI is a real serious issue and is relevant to this phone, especially as these flagship devices are not going to get any smaller. Not everyone here has large hands.
Anyways I think this should be moved to the Q&A section.. ?

DIMPLE is a small sticker or protective case with user-configurable buttons that you attach to the rear side of your Android NFC-enabled gadgets. Buttons can launch apps, change settings, turn on the flashlight and much, much more.

Basically like pressy, except 1) more buttons and 2) you can put them anywhere nfc will register vs just in the jack.
I never cared for NFC before. I know some people make good use of tags, but there's usually an easier way for me to trigger whatever behavior I want. But I love buttons. I used to own an HTC Touch Pro2 with oh, 80 or so physical buttons. The keyboard was useful far beyond merely typing on. I used to read on the device with it open like a book and turned pages with the arrow keys. Far and away the most ergonomically comfortable ereading experience I ever used. For me, dimple means perfectly placed page turning buttons. I ordered two of the minis.
What could you use more buttons for?
It seems great but its got a heavy price tag on it

That's true. For me it really scratches an itch, so it seems like a bargain. But it's not really impulse buy territory.

True, I'd love to get some just wish they were lower in price. I'll probably get some eventually.

I could definitely use some for my Nexus 7 2013 tablet
