But why wait for hardware manufacturers to bring the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/apple-applies-for-stylus-patent/">styli to you</a>? Mangin has concocted the PressurePen, a pressure-sensitive stylus that plugs into a tablet's audio jack. The peripheral sends a tone to the tablet based on how far the tip of the pen is pushed in. The tone affects the thickness of the pen stroke, helping you alternate the sizes of lines more naturally than on a standard tablet.</p><p> Mangin is shooting for $10,000 over on his <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kickstarter/">Kickstarter</a> page, with a little under a week and around $4,000 left to go. Those who pledge $60 or more will get a PressurePen to call their own. Mangin will also be open sourcing the plans for the pen, so those with access to a 3D printer will be able to make their own shell at home.

The "optical stylus" mentioned seems simple enough. The claims outline the brains to interpret your doodlings, as well pressure and orientation. Beyond that, well, it's more or less just a stylus. While we suspected the team at Cupertino were fans of <em>Draw Something</em>, we didn't think they'd take it this seriously!</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/apple-applies-for-stylus-patent/">Apple applies for optical stylus patent, Hell reports coldest day on record</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 24 May 2012 07:32:00 EST.

At a German event this week, a slimmer version of the tablet was snapped sporting a built in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/28/samsung-galaxy-note-s-pen-sdk-2-0/">S-Pen</a> slot that had also been sweating off some extra pounds. So much so, that the company will retail a dedicated pen holder to make your electronic doodling more comfortable.</p><p> We've also heard unconfirmed rumors that the biggest change to the tablet was internal -- with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview-hands-on/">Galaxy S III's</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/25/samsung-announces-1-4ghz-exynos-4-quad-as-basis-for-galaxy-s3/">quad-core Exynos</a> chip replacing the original dual-core innards we'd seen previously. We reached out to the company on that point to see if it could shed any light, but its people weren't able to make any comment ahead of its official debut.</p><p> [Image Credit: <a href="http://www.androidnext.de/news/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-kommt-doch-mit-quad-core-cpu/#comment-534444612">Eraser112</a>]</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/23/samsung-galaxy-note-rumors/">Samsung rumored to tweak Galaxy Note 10.1 inside and out</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 23 May 2012 10:31:00 EST.

The PadFone and its corresponding tablet shell and keyboard dock, will be up for pre-order in Taiwan starting tomorrow, going on sale April 20th. On its own, the Snapdragon S4-powered 1.5GHz dual-core phone is priced at NT$17,990 (US$610), while the tablet set -- including that curious Bluetooth headset / stylus -- will set you back NT$24,980 (around US$850). If you're thinking keyboard add-ons are <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-review/">all the rage</a>, expect to pay around NT$28,901 (US$980).

It has a 5.3-inch screen and now, just five months since it debuted Samsung has announced it's shipped five million units (the<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/29/1-million-galaxy-notes-shipped-worldwide-us-fans-throw-money-at/"> one million</a> mark was crossed right around the end of December). That's certainly long enough for you to decide if you're in love with its super-sized frame or the accompanying S-Pen stylus, but unfortunately it has not been quite enough time for the highly-anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich software update to be released. While the world waits for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/galaxy-note-ics-upgrade-pushed-back-to-q2-adds-exclusive-set-of/">Premium Suite of apps and Android 4.0</a>, let's think back to all the good times we had, including its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-official-5-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">initial unveiling</a>, our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">original review</a> and finally its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/atandt-galaxy-note-review/">arrival in the US on AT&amp;T</a>. So, are you convinced yet that there's a place in the world for a device like this, or five million phablets later are you still thinking this is just a fad?<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: If you prefer to use your stylus for kanji or kana, <em>Engadget Japan</em> has NTT Docomo's announcement that it will release the Galaxy Note with LTE, branded the SC-05D, on its network April 6th.<br /><br />[Thanks, ph00ny]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/samsung-ships-five-million-galaxy-notes-in-just-five-months/">Samsung ships five million Galaxy Notes in just five months</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:28:00 EST.

Yet every year, despite this cultural contrast, mobile's best, brightest and even little known descend upon Barcelona to showcase the incoming tide of next-gen wares. It's a wonder, then, that for all the bombast and spectacle, Samsung, a titan in the cluttered Android field, chose to occupy a sizable swathe of the event's booth real estate with a glut of mid-range and less-than-fresh devices. Save for one <em>notable</em> product.<br /><br />Without the halo of its still secret unicorn, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/galaxysiii">Galaxy S III</a>, to power the brand's visibility, the company turned the spotlight on its other flagship -- the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/galaxy+note+10.1/">Galaxy Note 10.1</a> -- as more of a rightful successor to its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/">O.G. Galaxy Tab</a> of the same size, <em>not</em> the recently debuted <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/29/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-hands-on-video/">Tab 2 (10.1)</a>. Confused? That's understandable, but this broad-screened fella's outing marks a stark transition away from the Note as smartphone, established by its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">5.3-inch forebear</a>, to a concrete series of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/s+pen/">S-Pen</a> equipped products. Its beefier dual-core 1.4GHz CPU and 1GB RAM notwithstanding, this is, for all intents and purposes, more of a gentle update than a full-on refresh, as most of the build, screen (1,280 x 800) and camera setup remains virtually unchanged.<br /><br />Solidifying the unit's place atop the industry's top-shelf mantel, is its inclusion of Google's latest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-review/">ICS OS (4.0.3)</a>, slathered here in a TouchWiz skin, and the addition of two pre-installed S-Pen apps: Adobe PS Touch and Ideas. So, software improvements aside, why should this tablet, an admitted work-in-progress that's lacking the finishing touches of a final production model, occupy a space on your finely tuned tech radar? Why should you devote a portion of your gadget-lusting heart to the promise of a killer device currently lacking any known pricing or availability? Well, to answer those questions, Samsung let us spend some brief, albeit quality time with the Note's in-development next of kin. So follow on after the break as we explore its digitizer-optimized nooks and crannies and whet your appetites for what's to come.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/">Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 preview</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/#4905565"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/note10101eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/#4905566"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/note10102eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/#4905567"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/note10103eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/#4905568"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/note10104eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview/#4905569"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/note10105eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 preview (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-preview-video/">Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 preview (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST.

It will however, arrive worldwide as part of a "Premium Suite" software upgrade packed with exclusive apps meant to highlight its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/s-pen">S-Pen</a> stylus. One of them is S Note, which combines notes and sketches with other apps like Shape Match and Formula Match which are also included to assist recognition of geometric shapes and hand drawn formulas. The final app packed in is My Story, designed to create personalized cards. We're not sure how much use you'll get out of those unless you're a math professor, project manager or just love sending e-cards, but there's one more treat in the form of an exclusive Angry Birds Space level and free access to 30 "Danger Zone" levels for a limited time. Press play on the video above for a peek at the apps -- and the Note's TouchWiz-styled flavor of Android 4.0 -- or check out the press release after the break.<br /><br /><strong>Update (4/12)</strong>: Samsung has swapped out the video for a slightly longer one with "more features and detailed information". Your guess is as good as ours as to what's different, or exactly when the upgrade will arrive, but the new vid is now embedded above.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/galaxy-note-ics-upgrade-pushed-back-to-q2-adds-exclusive-set-of/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Galaxy Note ICS upgrade pushed back to Q2, adds exclusive set of stylus-ready apps (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/galaxy-note-ics-upgrade-pushed-back-to-q2-adds-exclusive-set-of/">Galaxy Note ICS upgrade pushed back to Q2, adds exclusive set of stylus-ready apps (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:11:00 EST.

The stylus, codenamed "Project Blue Tiger," is pressure-sensitive, and pairs with the iPad over Bluetooth 4.0. As you can see in the video below, the pen is meant to be used inside a drawing app Ten One's whipped up, though the outfit's made the SDK available to developers today.

So it should come as no surprise to see <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/amazon,%20patents">Amazon patenting</a> an intelligent input device (most likely a Kindle Pen), as well as a "computer-implemented method" for that associated accessory which can read, write, search, print and email annotations and highlights made on digital (ebooks and video) and physically printed works. The theoretical service also has a social aspect to it, allowing a primary account holder to grant outside users access to notes, in addition to the ability to edit and create their own. With some well-sourced gossip already indicating the Bezos-backed company has a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/is-a-10-inch-kindle-fire-coming-amazon-says-stay-tuned/">larger, more advanced tablet</a> waiting in the wings, it's a strong possibility this handheld tech could be making its grand debut very soon.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> The lingo in these patents can sometimes be misleading, and it seems we may have misrepresented things a bit. While the drawings within the patent show an embodiment of the technology in stylus form, to be clear, Amazon's first patent is for an "electronic input device" that can record and analyze notations made by a user in multiple types of content. Should said annotations include electronically executable instructions, the device can also process and execute those instructions. The second patent also pertains to annotation technology, but is for a method of authorizing and allowing multiple authors to annotate a single, digital work using multiple devices. Will either of these new inventions ever make it into an Amazonian tablet? Only a man named Bezos can say for sure, so the rest of us will have to wait and see.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/amazon-patents-intelligent-pen/">Amazon patents intelligent pen for adding annotations to digital and printed media (updated)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:39:00 EST.

The folks over at <em>Pocketnow</em> ran across an ad with the transforming device being listed as such -- unfortunately, that's about all the info the graphics offered.

While 4:3 ratio display raised a few eyebrows during its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/lg-optimus-vu-hands-on-at-mwc-2012/">debut at MWC</a>, the IPS display, lightweight frame and stylus has us chasing after a review model to give it the full run-down. Anyone in LG's homeland can beat us to the punch -- it's now on sale priced just under the Galaxy Note, a device that's been around for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">a few months</a>. Expect to pay 990,000 won ($890) for a carrier-free version, but importers should 'note' that they won't be able to take advantage of that built-in TV tuner. We're still sniffing out details on prices and launch dates for the US. Hopefully, the international model will arrive with a rubberdium stylus -- we just want to know what rubberdium <em>is</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/lg-optimus-vu-launch-korea-900-dollars/">LG Optimus Vu launches in Korea, gets priced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:28:00 EST.

So, imagine our surprise as we stumbled on new developments from each company as we perused the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ti">Texas Instruments</a> booth at MWC. In the case of EPOS, we're shown a stylus that, in addition to offering traditional physical touch input, also allows users to interact with a device via ultrasound. The system is built upon TI's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/omap4">OMAP4</a> platform and requires that four microphones be placed at the corners of the screen. In this demonstration, we're shown how users can manipulate objects on a 3D plane via the Z-axis by pulling the pen away from the display. Next, we're shown a new application for the touchless gesturing system that XTR first debuted back in 2010. In this scenario, it's demonstrated how tablet owners could use the front-facing camera (at merely QVGA resolution) to flip through pages of a cookbook without worry of getting ingredients on the device. The concept software was developed by a French outfit known as Stonetrip, and also allows users to zoom and pan through the pages. You'll find demonstrations of each technology in a video after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/01/hands-on-with-wireless-ultrasonic-stylus-and-touchless-gestures/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hands-on with wireless, ultrasonic stylus and touchless gestures at MWC (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/01/hands-on-with-wireless-ultrasonic-stylus-and-touchless-gestures/">Hands-on with wireless, ultrasonic stylus and touchless gestures at MWC (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:28:00 EST.

Now that we've had a chance to park ourselves at Samsung's Mobile World Congress and get acclimated to the various S Pen apps, we wanted to hit back with one more hands-on, this time focusing on what makes the Note 10.1 so special: the writing experience. Meet us past the break and we'll share some early impressions, along with a walk-through video. Only have a minute to spare?

Following Samsung's launch of the it's-definitely-a-tablet <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/samsung-galaxy-note-10.1/">10.1 Note</a>, it's become even more clear that the company's <strike>stylus</strike> S Pen is here to stay, in a very big way. Now, it's time for third-party developers to get sketchy with version 2.0 of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/29/samsung-draws-in-developers-with-s-pen-sdk-for-galaxy-note/">S Pen SDK</a>. The biggest feature boost is the ability to animate drawings to pair with recorded voice, while other additions include SAMM Library access, improved rendering and the ability to revert after accidentally clearing all.

It was also said that if the software on that device contained a task manager that coders had similarly missed the mark. The Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&amp;T contains what many would consider a stylus and, if you hold down the Home button, you're presented with what can only be described as a task manager.<br /><br />So the Galaxy Note, Samsung's massive 5.3-inch "superphone," is critically flawed then, right? No. It is, in fact, one of the best phones to hit the market since another Samsung powerhouse -- the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/">Galaxy Nexus</a>. It's a device with a lot to love and is the kind of phone that would make almost every Android aficionado swoon. However, with its massive 5.3-inch display and generally understated styling, it isn't for everybody. We reviewed it before in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">European guise</a>, but now read on to see if AT&amp;T's $300 LTE version of this big brute is just right for you.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/">Ceramic White AT&amp;T Galaxy Note LTE overview</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/#4821309"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/galaxynoteltewhite41_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/#4821269"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/galaxynoteltewhite01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/#4821277"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/galaxynoteltewhite09_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/#4821270"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/galaxynoteltewhite02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/galaxy-note-lte-ceramic-white-overview/#4821271"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/galaxynoteltewhite03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/atandt-galaxy-note-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>AT&amp;T Galaxy Note review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/atandt-galaxy-note-review/">AT&amp;T Galaxy Note review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:00:00 EST.

That's the thinking behind Cupertino's newest patent application, attempting to turn magnets into a way of keeping your stuff secure. An example listed in the patent is using a stylus with specially encoded magnets to securely unlock an iPad, which we attribute to a zealous patent attorney and not a reversal of the "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/jobs-if-you-see-a-stylus-or-a-task-manager-they-blew-it/">they blew it</a>" rule. It may sound ridiculous when you first consider it, but given the magnetic-activation of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/smart-cover-can-unlock-password-protected-ipads-running-ios-5-v/">iPad 2's smart cover</a>, it's not as outlandish as you believe. Still, we'll believe it if we see it in a couple of years.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/28/apple-secure-magnet-patent/">Apple patent looks to create 'secure magnets' to unlock your device</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:41:00 EST.

That's pretty much the go-to design for tablets nowadays. But lately <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sony/">Sony's</a> been straying from the pack and taking a different aesthetic tack, which it recently showcased with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/sony-tablet-s-preview/">Tablet S</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/sony-tablet-p-review-uk-edition/">P</a>. On the showroom floor at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/ces">CES</a>, however, the company had two newer models secured behind glass to give consumers a sense of future form factors. These prototypes -- known prospectively as <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/27/sony-teases-freestyle-hybird-pc-tablet-slider-and-next-gen-ult/">the Hybrid and Slate</a> -- fall under the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/vaio/">Vaio</a> brand and clearly highlight an exciting direction for the Japanese electronics giant's impending offerings.<br /><br />The Hybrid's most distinctive feature is its marriage of laptop functionality with tablet portability. Sliding the unit up and locking it into place reveals a keyboard in front (shown with a dedicated Windows button) and an expansive speaker grill behind. The company wouldn't elaborate on the materials used in the enclosure, but that sparkly, copper color manages to toe the line between cheap and space age -- a definite contradiction, for sure. At the base of the 11-inch unit is a dock that fits an included stylus, as this tablet is being designed to support touch pen input, in addition to the typical capacitive touch. None of the ports on the device are final, but when and if it ever ships, you can expect the usual array.<br /><br />For a true glimpse into the next generation of tablet manufacturing, you need only look to Sony's tablet Slate -- the real stunner of this conceptual duo. With its use of a smart, soft touch flexible material -- the company refused to elaborate on just what -- that extends from the unit's back for easy table top mounting, it's easy to see a product like this setting consumers' interest on fire and nabbing that lust-worthy tech crown. Unfortunately, this particular scifi casing is more than likely a few years off, but it's good to see the company innovating and attempting to break free from the shackles of ordinary builds. The Slate is also designed to work with a wireless keyboard that shares the same intelligent material and appears to incorporate a touch interface.

What happens when a computer accessory manufacturer and a Bluetooth-savvy app developer team up? iNotebook, that's what. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/targus/">Targus</a> has been working with iDevices to create the aforementioned writing recognition app / pen combo for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/ipad-2-review/">iPad</a>. Making use of a rechargeable Bluetooth receiver, the pair utilizes a special pen to transfer the slate owner's haiku from paper directly to their mobile device. So long as you mind the 9.5-inch x 7.5-inch notepad size restriction, you shouldn't have any trouble getting that grocery list transferred quickly. Available in June, the only question is if you'll drop $149.99 on this bad boy. Even though an iPad case is included, we might have to pass.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/targus-collabs-with-idevices-to-create-inotebook-transcribes-yo/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Targus collabs with iDevices to create iNotebook, transcribes your scribbles for $150</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/targus-collabs-with-idevices-to-create-inotebook-transcribes-yo/">Targus collabs with iDevices to create iNotebook, transcribes your scribbles for $150</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:30:00 EST.

	The Galaxy Note, Samsung's unconventional powerhouse, has managed to ship 1 million units in under two months. While eager US customers still wait for the 5.3-inch tabletphone hybrid to arrive on their shores, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">Galaxy Note</a> has apparently struck a chord in Europe and Asia. The number of units shipped is always more substantial than the number devices out there in end-users' (preferably large) hands, but it bodes well for the device's eventual reception in the US. Now, whether it will include an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/28/galaxy-note-gets-lte-turned-on-in-south-korea-ready-to-cross-th/">LTE radio</a>, we'll have to wait and see.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/29/1-million-galaxy-notes-shipped-worldwide-us-fans-throw-money-at/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>1 million Galaxy Notes shipped worldwide, US fans throw money at their screens</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/29/1-million-galaxy-notes-shipped-worldwide-us-fans-throw-money-at/">1 million Galaxy Notes shipped worldwide, US fans throw money at their screens</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:35:00 EST.

Here's some of the other stuff that happened in the wide world of wireless for the week of November 28, 2011:
<ul>
	<li>
		Last week, the FCC announced that it had approved AT&amp;T's request to purchase 700MHz spectrum from Qualcomm -- previously used to support MediaFLO service -- but it hasn't finalized the process yet. So, the company recently met with the FCC to ask if the deal can be sped up. [<a href="http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=9372">Phone Scoop</a>]</li>
	<li>
		The Nokia Lumia 800 is rumored to finally be available at O2 beginning December 9th. [<a href="http://www.unwiredview.com/2011/11/30/nokia-lumia-800-will-be-available-at-o2-uk-on-december-9/">Unwired View</a>]</li>
	<li>
		Nokia also announced the X2-02, a Series 40 dual-SIM handset geared towards music. It comes with an audio processing feature that brings clear sound, dedicated music keys and a feature that lets you play recordings directly from the FM radio. It also offers a 2.2-inch QVGA display, dedicated Facebook and Twitter clients, 2MP camera and 9.7 hour talk time. Sadly, the phone doesn't come with 3G included, and no markets or launch dates were announced, but it'll be priced around &euro;60 before subsidy.

		Cincinnati Bell added the HTC Radar 4G to its lineup this week and is available for free to new customers with a two-year commitment and after a $100 mail-in rebate; existing customers eligible for an upgrade can get it for $100 on contract and after $50 mail-in rebate.

		Samsung just released <a href="http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/down/cnts/toolSDK.detail.view.do?platformId=1&amp;cntsId=10210">SDK 1.0</a> for the S Pen, also known as the stylus for the Galaxy Note. As to be expected, the kit will aid developers in writing apps that will take advantage of the pen.

	Are there two Droid tablets on Verizon's horizon? It certainly seems like it, now that <em>CNET</em> has outed the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MotorolaMobility/">Motorola Mobility</a> Droid Xyboard. According to the news outlet, Verizon is gearing up to release two different versions of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/motorola-xoom-4g-lte-upgrade-process-begins-tomorrow-new-tablet/">4G LTE-equipped tablet</a> -- an eight-inch model and a ten-incher, both slated for launch later this month. Motorola declined to provide details on the devices, and Verizon stopped short of spilling the beans on pricing and availability, though it did provide the following statement: "As we've previously mentioned, we're planning to bring several new LTE devices to market including two tablets. We haven't made any official announcements in the U.S. but we look forward to sharing more details soon."<br />
	<br />
	<em>CNET</em>, meanwhile, apparently managed to get its hands on the two slates (pictured above), reporting that both carry a 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM and a five-megapixel camera, along with a 1.3 megapixel front-facing shooter. They're also coated in Corning Gorilla Glass and <em>CNET</em>, in the absence of quantitative specs, reports that both are "thinner than a AAA battery and lighter than a paperback book." The stylus-equipped ten-inch version is reportedly geared toward the enterprise market, whereas its little brother is described as more media-friendly, presumably with the consumer market in mind. That's about all we know at this point, though be sure to check out <em>CNET</em>'s coverage below for more images and insight.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/02/verizon-purportedly-readying-new-lte-tablets-xyboard-gets-named/">Verizon purportedly readying new LTE tablets, Xyboard gets namedropped</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:54:00 EST.

Samsung <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/white-galaxy-note-appears-developers-wanted-to-pen-third-party/">promised</a> there'd be an SDK back at its October London launch and it's finally here, letting developers get busy adding some S Pen magic to their apps. Version 1.0 lets you add a basic canvas, a pop-up for pen settings (opacity, line color and so on) as well as erase and un/redo. Sure, ICS might natively support stylus input, but as Samsung is keen to point out -- with its capacitive tip and configurable button -- a simple stylus this is not. And remember: until the Note gets an ICS update, you'll be scribbling all over that snappy Gingerbread install anyway. Tap that source link if you want to get your hands on the goods, and let the tic-tac-toe commence.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/29/samsung-draws-in-developers-with-s-pen-sdk-for-galaxy-note/">Samsung draws in developers with S Pen SDK for Galaxy Note</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:29:00 EST.

When HTC entered the tablet game, it did so in reverse course. Where other manufacturers were jostling for elbow room in a 10-inch form factored world, the company opted for smaller, more familiar battleground, eschewing the rough-hewn <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/honeycomb/">Honeycomb OS</a> for a Gingerbread-baked Sense overlay on <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/htc-flyer-review/">the Flyer</a>. Naturally, the time for that mini-slate to shine has come and gone. In its stead, we're treated to a flagship of sorts -- HTC's first 10-incher and AT&amp;T's inaugural <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/08/atandt-commits-to-lte-advanced-deployment-in-2013-hesse-and-mead/">4G LTE</a> slate. Android 3.1 makes an appearance here, as does Sense 1.1 for tablets, but is the skinned experience really any different from the custom UX we've all come to love or hate on phones? Can the added <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htc+scribe/">Scribe pen</a> functionality, repurposed here from its 7-inch brother, transform the Jetstream from third pillar offering to an always-on, on-the-go assistant? And will those newly hatched 700MHz speeds convince you to cough up for that weighty $700 price tag? Follow along past the break to see how it fared.<br />

	If you miss the unbridled delight of messing around in <em>Mario Paint</em>, then the days of waiting for a modern solution may be over, thanks to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ubisoft/">Ubisoft's</a> new Drawsome tablet for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/nintendo-drops-wii-price-to-150-from-may-15th-throws-in-a-free/">Wii</a>. Unless, of course, you already picked up the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/15/thq-udraw-gametablet-for-wii-review/">THQ uDraw</a> last year. On paper, it doesn't appear to be too dissimilar from THQ's offering -- you get a 6.5 x 5-inch drawing area and a stylus (unwired this time). Younger players can use the transparency layer to hold pictures of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/caption-contest-justin-bieber-is-an-eenie-meenie-miney-mo-lova/">teen-idol</a> of choice for tracing -- masterpieces can then be transferred to an SD card. You'll also get two games: <em>Drawsome Artist</em> (where you can learn how to doodle Smurfs) and <em>Sketch Quest</em>, a four-player platformer where you build bridges to help the characters complete quests. No word on pricing (we don't expect it to cost more than the $70 uDraw) but it'll arrive in stores on December 6th, just in time for holiday shoppers to snatch them from the shelves. Catch the tablet in action after the break.</div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/ubisofts-drawsome-tablet-for-wii-is-cheaper-than-art-lessons-p/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ubisoft's Drawsome Tablet for Wii is cheaper than art lessons, probably about as fun (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/ubisofts-drawsome-tablet-for-wii-is-cheaper-than-art-lessons-p/">Ubisoft's Drawsome Tablet for Wii is cheaper than art lessons, probably about as fun (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:14:00 EST.

	Until Microsoft gives Win8 the final seal of approval, the Windows tablet show must go on, right? Right. HP just refreshed its enterprise-friendly, Windows 7-flavored <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/hp-slate-finally-finally-official-rings-up-at-799/">Slate 500</a> with the Slate 2, and took the opportunity to knock the starting price down a hundred bucks to $699. In terms of design, there's nothing much to see here -- it has the same 8.9-inch tablet and N-Trig DuoSense digitizer that allows for pen input. Only this time, HP added Swype, refreshed the CPU with Intel's Atom Z670 and proffered a smaller 32GB SSD option to appease the IT guys who are going to heavily lock these down anyway. Speaking of security, it also packs TPM circuitry and Computrace Pro for tracking lost or stolen laptops and then deleting the data remotely. It'll be available worldwide this month -- just in time for corporate to buy you a lil' somethin' for the holidays.<br />

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/htc-hero-s-coming-to-us-cellular-next-month-alongside-wildfire-s/">US Cellular's got one</a> and so does Sprint (albeit under a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-view-4g-review/">re-branded banner</a>). So, where's the Magenta-friendly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/htc-flyer-review/">HTC Flyer</a> we saw <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/12/htc-flyer-drops-by-the-fcc-again-this-time-with-t-mobile-friend/">creep up at the FCC</a> this June? Well, it appears T-Mobile's been offering it for some time to business customers <em>only</em>, but that exclusivity's come to a close. The 7-inch Gingerbread slate with AWS bands is curiously absent from the operator's own online site, but you can still snag it from HTC for $299 with a new mobile broadband plan or $454 with a contract extension. Sadly, neither party's tossing in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htc+scribe/">HTC Scribe pen</a> <em>gratis, </em>so you'll have to make due with your own digits for navigating or just pick it up separately. If this is the Sense-laden variant you've been holding out for, now's the time to hit up the source and get to ordering.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/02/htc-flyer-touches-down-at-t-mobile-scribe-pen-not-included/">HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:39:00 EST.

We've already <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review">inspected</a> every inch of Samsung's big bad phone-tablet hybrid, but a <em>soup&ccedil;on</em> of extra news has trickled out from the Galaxy Note's bombastic launch event in London yesterday. Those looking for brighter color scheme to match the striking glow of its HD Super AMOLED display are in luck, as the Galaxy Note looks set to arrive in white; the ethereal ying to its companion's midnight blue yang. Sammy added that the Galaxy Note's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-official-5-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">S-Pen</a> SDK will be available to third-party developers starting December, hopefully bringing more uses for that slide-out stick. And that's despite the latest Android OS offering <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/android-ice-cream-sandwich-includes-native-stylus-support/">native stylus support</a> -- the Galaxy Note remains a Gingerbread affair. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-claims-top-spot-in-global-smartphone-shipments-for-q3-20/">current</a> smartphone king was unable to confirm if the UK would be getting the white model on the November 3rd launch day, or ever. Similarly, we're still waiting on Samsung to put S-Pen to paper on pricing and any possible US launch details.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/white-galaxy-note-appears-developers-wanted-to-pen-third-party/">White Galaxy Note appears, developers wanted to pen third-party apps for its stylus</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:21:00 EST.

If you've been chatting on the go for as long as we have, it was probably barely big enough to fit a complete telephone number -- let alone a contact name or text message. And your first smartphone? Even displaying scaled-down, WAP versions of web pages was asking a lot. Now, those mobile devices we couldn't live without have screens that are much, much larger. Sometimes, though, we secretly wish they were even bigger still.<br /><br /><div class="follow_this_in_post" style="padding-top: 10px"> <img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/11/more_info_header_1.gif" /><br /> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/01/samsung-releases-1-5ghz-exynos-processor-and-16mp-cmos-for-mobil/">Samsung releases 1.5GHz Exynos processor and 16MP CMOS for mobiles, if you're nice</a></div> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/samsungs-galaxy-s-ii-for-t-mobile-proves-that-unicorns-do-exist/">Samsung's Galaxy S II for T-Mobile proves that unicorns do exist (hands-on video)</a></div> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-official-5-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">Samsung Galaxy Note announced: 5.3-inch display, built-in-stylus, custom 'S Pen' apps</a></div></div>Samsung's new GT-N7000 Galaxy Note is the handset those dreams are made of -- if you happen to share that dream about obnoxiously large smartphones, that is. It's as thin as a Galaxy S II, lightning fast and its 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED display is as gorgeous as it is enormous; the 1280 x 800 pixels you once could only get with a full-size laptop (or in the Galaxy Tab 10.1) can now slide comfortably into your front pocket. Its jumbo display makes it the perfect candidate for a notepad replacement and, with the included S Pen stylus, you'll have no problem jotting notes on the fly, marking up screenshots or signing documents electronically. But, is that <em>massive</em> display too much of a good thing? You'll need to jump past the break to find out.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">Samsung Galaxy Note review</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/#4565182"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/note2011-10-27800px-32_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/#4565275"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt72_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/#4564484"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/1-1319774316_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/#4564485"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/2-1319774316_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-review/#4564486"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/3-1319774317_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/">Samsung Galaxy Note vs. Galaxy S II</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/#4565313"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt73_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/#4565314"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt74_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/#4565315"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt75_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/#4565317"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt77_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s-ii-0/#4565318"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/galaxynotereviewalt80_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Samsung Galaxy Note review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/">Samsung Galaxy Note review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 28 Oct 2011 07:15:00 EST.

Styli and Android haven't exactly been strangers as of late -- with devices like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htcflyer">HTC Flyer</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/galaxynote">Samsung Galaxy Note</a> offering pen-based input -- but it looks like that option will soon be even easier to implement with Ice Cream Sandwich. As noted on <em>Reddit</em>, Google's recent overview of some Android 4.0 platform highlights includes a small tidbit towards the end that details the "full support for stylus input events" in the OS -- including features like pressure sensitivity and the ability to distinguish motion events from different sources (i.e. a pen and your finger). Of course, it still requires some hardware-level assistance from tablet and smartphone makers, but native support in the OS could well open up some interesting possibilities, especially when it comes to third-party apps.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/android-ice-cream-sandwich-includes-native-stylus-support/">Android Ice Cream Sandwich includes native stylus support</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:17:00 EST.

When Lenovo announced a pair of Android tablets this summer, we didn't even pretend it was the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/04/lenovo-ideapad-k1-review/">IdeaPad K1</a> we were most jazzed about. Sure, it was exciting to see Lenovo enter the Android tablet market on any terms, but it was the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/lenovo-thinkpad-tablet-and-keyboard-folio-case-hands-on-video/">ThinkPad Tablet</a> that set our curious minds rolling. There was the design, for one -- an obvious homage to those black, red-nubbed laptops with the same name. It has personality, one that's inextricably tied to Lenovo's laptop know-how. It offers a full-sized USB port, an SD slot, 1080p output, a 3G SIM and a slew of accessories that includes a dock, pen and keyboard folio case. It's the kind of tablet we don't review all that often: one that might actually make for some painless productivity on the road.<br />

As you can imagine, we've been waiting months to learn more, and if your tweets, comments and emails are any indication, so have you. Well, wait no more, friends. We've been spending almost a week with one and have oh-so much to say. So what are you waiting for? Meet us past the break, won't you?<br />

Members of the creative class, your input options have arrived. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wacom/">Wacom</a>, maker of the tablet you've spent countless deadline-driven, bleary-eyed nights slaving over, has outed a trio of updates to its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/wacom-bamboo-pen-and-touch-review/">Bamboo line</a> -- each targeted to a particular user profile. At the low-end of this newly introduced range, home office / business users can opt-in for the company's pen-only Bamboo Connect, which'll set you back about $80 for the base goods. But the real enhancements to a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/13/wacom-cintiq-24hd-hands-on-video/">graphic designer's best friend</a> comes via the wireless-capable (courtesy of a separate $40 RF dongle) Capture and Create models -- available for $100 and $200, respectively -- that add multi-touch functionality for "gesture-based input such as scrolling [and] zooming." While the latter entry is essentially a luxe, double-sized (and double-priced) version of the Capture, all of the tabs come bundled with a specific suite of PC and Mac-friendly software, and a pressure-sensitive, eraser-tipped pen. You can snag these latest Wacom family members right now, or if your wallet needs more convincing, feel free to peruse the PR after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/wacom-intros-new-bamboo-line-of-tablets-carpal-tunneled-wrists/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Wacom intros new Bamboo line of tablets, carpal tunneled wrists tremble with excitement</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/wacom-intros-new-bamboo-line-of-tablets-carpal-tunneled-wrists/">Wacom intros new Bamboo line of tablets, carpal tunneled wrists tremble with excitement</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:34:00 EST.

Belkin showed off a trio of accessories last night aimed at incorporating your shiny <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/ipad-2-review/">Apple tablet</a> into your kitchen routine. At the top of the list is the Chef Stand + Stylus, a $40 table top stand with a rubbery stylus that lets you use the iPad without dirtying it up with your greasy mitts. The stylus lives in a holster on the stand's rear. The $40 Fridge Mount turns the iPad into a $500 grocery list, securing the slate to your fridge door with 3M Command Strips. The Kitchen Cabinet Mount is the priciest of the bunch at $50 -- but is arguably the handiest, or at least most versatile, clamping the iPad to a cabinet or shelf.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/">Belkin kitchen iPad stands</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/#4450544"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/belkin-ipad-announcements2011-01-0606-10-06gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Belkin kitchen iPad stands" title="Belkin kitchen iPad stands" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/#4450545"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/belkin-ipad-announcements2011-01-0606-10-14gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/#4450546"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/belkin-ipad-announcements2011-01-0606-10-59gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/#4450547"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/belkin-ipad-announcements2011-01-0606-11-31gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/belkin-ipad-stands/#4450548"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/belkin-ipad-announcements2011-01-0606-12-07gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/belkin-intros-three-ways-to-turn-your-ipad-into-a-pricey-kitchen/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Belkin intros three ways to turn your iPad into a pricey kitchen accessory</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/belkin-intros-three-ways-to-turn-your-ipad-into-a-pricey-kitchen/">Belkin intros three ways to turn your iPad into a pricey kitchen accessory</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:45:00 EST.

Looking for a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/cedar+trail">Cedar Trail</a>-powered update to the long running <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/classmatepc/">Classmate PC</a> line of netvertibles? Intel's got you covered here at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/idf+2011">IDF 2011</a>, with a refreshed edition of the very familiar hardware on display. All the usual elements are here, with a handle, touchscreen and stylus combined with a tough rugged casing ready to take the worst a 3rd grader can dish out. It felt a little lighter in our hands, and while this was just a demo unit as usual we're told OEMs should have production versions available soon. If you need to see it in motion to believe all that next generation Atom power could be packed inside, just watch the video after the break.<br />

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/stylus">stylus</a>, as you might have noticed, is making a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-official-5-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">slight</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htcflyer">comeback</a> this year, and it's now also moved into throwback territory with the Big Big Cursor. Available in both arrow and pointer varieties, the cursor is designed for use on capacitive touchscreens, and it packs some handy magnets that let you affix it to certain magnet-friendly tablets or cases -- or your fridge, for that matter. $13 and it's yours -- video is after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/10/big-big-cursor-the-tablet-stylus-thats-also-a-fridge-magnet/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Big Big Cursor: the tablet stylus that's also a fridge magnet</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/10/big-big-cursor-the-tablet-stylus-thats-also-a-fridge-magnet/">Big Big Cursor: the tablet stylus that's also a fridge magnet</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 10 Sep 2011 01:28:00 EST.

We had a feeling the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-hands-on-video/">Samsung Galaxy Note</a> would be a hit on the benchmark scene, but now its unsurprisingly speedy results are documented. Greek site <em>TechBlog</em> installed <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/15/engadget-primed-using-benchmarks/">Quadrant Standard</a> on one of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/01/samsung-galaxy-note-official-5-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">phone / tablet hybrid</a> demo units at IFA 2011 and produced a benchmark score of 3,624, exactly where we'd expect a Sammy-branded 1.4GHz dual-core CPU to end up; in comparison, our review of the 1.2GHz <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/">Samsung Galaxy S II</a> produced an outcome of 3,396. Here's the letdown: the Galaxy Note is expected to top the charts in pricing as well, as it's being reported that we should see the device show up in Scandinavia by year's end for no less than &euro;715 ($1,000 in the US). Let's hope those benchmarks are worth the cost, because there's one thing that can't be denied -- it makes the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/htcs-10-inch-puccini-tablet-gets-official-as-jetstream-brings/">HTC Jetstream</a> feel like a bargain.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/samsung-galaxy-note-tops-benchmarks-price-sheets-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Samsung Galaxy Note tops benchmarks, price sheets (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/samsung-galaxy-note-tops-benchmarks-price-sheets-video/">Samsung Galaxy Note tops benchmarks, price sheets (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Sep 2011 01:32:00 EST.
