SuperNote lets you take some pretty super notes on your ASUS tablet (video)
Sit back and take notes while we... talk about SuperNote. This note-taking app quietly debuted on the Eee Pad Transformer and Slider earlier this month, when ASUS rolled out an OTA update to Android 3.2.1, but the company has now provided substantially more details on the feature, which promises to "revolutionize the way you take notes in class." With SuperNote onboard, students can write or scribble using either the keyboard or their own fingers. That isn't exactly enthralling, in and of itself, but what's cool is the fact that SuperNote will convert each hand-drawn item into an image, allowing users to seamlessly modify or delete their own characters as if they were typed text. The tool also makes it easy to insert graphs or charts, thanks to an "Add Annotation" option that integrates diagrams directly into your lecture notes. And, perhaps best of all, the app will even let you insert photos, meaning you can just take a shot of your professor's blackboard and worry about understanding it later. Intrigued? Check out a demo video, after the break.
Asus shows specs, price for Lamborghini VX1 "supernote"
Sure, Asus might not be neglecting the sexy on their new VX1 Lamborghini laptop that we saw back at CES, but they've seemed to overlook some serious price and specs considerations for the unit. The biggest blow is the lack of a Core Duo processor, with Asus instead opting for a 2GHz T2500 Intel chip. Otherwise the laptop is fairly solid, with 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, a 120GB HDD, dual-layer DVD±R/RW burning, and a Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 GPU with 256MB of memory. The 15-inch display is even has a decent resolution at 1400 x 1050. Unfortunately, you'll be paying a good price for that Lamborghini logo, since the computer is currently ringing up at €2700 ($3267 USD). The VX1 is set to ship at the end of April and should be available through the usual Asus channels along with Lamborghini's online and retail outlets.
