when I did use it, the batteries in the remote ran down kind of quickly.

I'm assuming it takes regular AAs, which I can just recharge, though, right? As long as I can get through a whole movie on one set of batteries I think I'm good.

I have a Roku 2and it is great. I feel zero need to upgrade and expect the interface is basically identical to the Roku 3 - it is upgraded regularly. But the remote feature is cool if you will use it.

I think my Roku 2 didn't have the interface upgrade. when I got the Roku 3. There was something I couldn't do that I really wanted to do - and it wasn't remote audio.

Meara, late to the conversation, but I got my mini for my Europe trip. I like the smaller size because I can fit it into my purse, and I was trying to travel as light as possible. I've never had any problem with the screen being too small for what I wanted to do, and I find it much easier to use and handle when i dont have a table (including when navigating on foot using Google maps). However, I have relatively small hands and generally set font sizes pretty small.

The tablet is an absolute art win for me so far. Nothing complex, but I've been able to pull off more in a week with the Note than I have in five years with a large Intuos.

Which makes me realise--I would be able to use a Cintiq...shit. Don't even want to think about saving up for one of those. I'd been thinking I was a complete tablet fail, but it seems to be an hand-screen thing. Still, I'm happy to see what I can achieve with a 10.1" screen and Android apps. So far Autodesk Sketchbook Pro is best suited to my monochrome stylings. I've also tried PS Touch, S-Vermeer, and Infinite Painter, with the verdicts photo retoucher, limited painting tools, and too complex & therefore laggy respectively.

Wow, you can seriously draw. Nice work!

ita: Monoprice.

Thanks, Gud! I admit-I felt a bit frivolous spending extra money on a tablet I could draw on, but...I can draw on it! It's like magic...

Tom, does Monoprice have a Cintiq equivalent? I don't see one in that list, unless I'm missing something. My problem isn't that I don't have a graphics tablet--I have a 12" Intuos, which is very good. It's that I can't draw on a graphics tablet since the results are over there, and the drawing is happening over here. The Cintiq is a monitor/tablet, so the experience would be like the Note 10.1, but with the software I'm used to, higher powered stuff like the PS range.

Ah, sorry, missed that.

Gabe at Penny Arcade has been drawing with his Surface Pro a lot. I think that's a little cheaper than the Cintiq and should be able to run most Windows software, including PS. Apparently they have driver support for all pressure sensitive software at this point.
