Boxwave lists that stylus as being for the Ipad. I know minimally that styli are cross compatible, because a stranger lent me her Ipad one to test. But i don't know if there are any specific to the Tab, and if there would be any pros.
Time to crack open the Google box.
In a week, I've noticed that using a tablet in public is quite the conversation starter, although everyone assumes it is an Ipad off the bat.
I am sad that there isn't Swype for the 10.1, but i guess the keyboard is pretty big. I am unhappy with some of the special character placement, and the implementation of the predictive text takes some getting used to. The one on my phone is definitely the best I've used, even though I haven't worked out how to delete typos that are "hiding" the good words.
I have the 3M smart pen, which is nice, but I really haven't compared it to anything.
Do you have the one with the speaker?
From poking around, it seems like anything should work with this. I should probably hit up Fry's.
I just noticed Google Voice does audio caller ID. I am not even somehow that works, since it was an international call. From my address book, maybe? Pronounced my sister's name well, though.
I am currently unsatisfied with all Android browsers. Built in only allows four windows at a time, opera has rendering issues (even here on b.org, the rule lines between posts are sporadically invisible), and I think the tabs on dolphin are horrendous- the click-for-windows interface of opera and the built in make much more sense for a smartphone. Can somebody put a different renderer inside Opera's everything else for me? Or offer other suggestions?
Have you tried Firefox or Skyfire ?
Doesn't Firefox have tabs-at-the-top, just like Dolphin? I just find that unworkable on a phone-sized screen. I haven't tried Skyfire. The problem is, I really really like the Opera interface, so I'm reluctant to use something I like less, despite my problems with Opera's rendering.
Xscope looks like it has potential. A bit slower than Opera, but more than fast enough and I can turn off the tab bar.
The tabs at the top of my Dolphin screen disappear when I scroll down past the top of the page. I can get them back by pressing menu or scrolling back up, but they don't continually take up real estate. Why do they bother you so?
I had to come here to geek out -- Dan and I bought our birthday present to each other today: a Nook Color.
I've wanted an ereader for yonks, and we decided it needed to be a Nook, since I have 140+ B&N books, and we gulped, looked at our bday present money for each other and from fam (my mom early bday'd me since she knew we were thinking mutual ereader) and we decided that since we lust for a tablet AND need an ereader, the Nook Color was a good compromise.
So far, I unboxed it, updated the firmware and have gotten M an issue of Natl Geo Kids, which looks effin' amazing, and an Angry Birds app -- which M says, with his actual very critical kid's eye, looks better on the Nook than his stepdad's iPad, and a very cool drawing app.
And the ereader is very nice, and has some supercool look up, notes and share quotes capabilities that I will be using for reviews for sure.
It's a little heavier than the Kindle, and has about 8 hours of battery power, but I've given it the reading in bed on my back and on my side test, and it passes very well.
SO. FREAKIN. HAPPY.
congrats! that is awesome.
