I love my Samsung Galaxy Tablet - the display is, frankly, gorgeous, and can be made very bright. The battery life is pretty good, as well.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I need suggestions for some kind of image management software. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. It's for keeping genealogy stuff organized. Basically, I want something so that I can take a bunch of image files, and type up notes about each one. I also need to be able to search the notes. I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't think of what it would be called to be able to google it.
For costume design/costume shop purposes, I have used excel for this (putting the picture in a cell, and then using the columns to the right for specifics (character, price, etc). It was pretty clunky, but it did work.
I think database software like MS Access would be better for stuff like that than a spreadsheet.
Wait, doesn't Picasa let you tag images and search by tag? I haven't done anything with Picasa in several years, so I may be mis-remembering.
Is there a character limit for the tags? The images I'm talking about are scans of handwritten documents, and I want to be able to attach a transcription to each one.
There's Flickr, which is less user-friendly than it used to be, but you could have a private account, and put the transcription in the image description.
I want to have it on my hard drive, not online.
It looks like StudioLine Photo Basic [link] might be able to do what I want.
