What Is Productivity?

What are the coolest things and productivity hacks that become possible with a Samsung Galaxy Note's 5 inch screen and stylus?

• What are the coolest things that you have done with your Galaxy Note? I use my galaxy S for reading, keeping notes, and a lot of other productivity hacks, but if I upgrade to a Note, what things suddenly become possible with a 5 inch screen and a stylus? Apart from productivity, communication using Trello and mindmaps, I'd also like to use it for custom apps for - perhaps - robotics.

• Answer:

  First of all, all the pros of having a big screen are applicable to Galaxy Note: reduction in typing errors, reducing screen scrolling, video watching experience and so on. Also, using it with one hand isn't a problem because a one hand operate option has been added. Now for the stylus: I basically use the Stylus pen for editting stuff. If you are into image editting - the pen can be of great help - working with Photoshop Touch, Sketchbook Mobile, etc. (The Note also has an inbuilt Wacom digitizer) This, for me, is the best part of having a stylus + 5.3". You will also see people using the pen for playing games like Flick Soccer/Golf, Draw Something, Fruit Ninja, etc. All those 'Low Maturity content' games...nothing gaga about it! The stylus can help in other stuff like navigating between different activities (Android dev jargon), getting screenshots, annotating PDFs, etc. Not that you MUST have (can't do without) a stylus for doing these, but once you get a hang of the pen, you would feel its indispensable. Another cool part: There's an app SNote, provided by Samsung (not sure if its compatible with all devices), which lets you capture literally all your ideas, and includes cool features like: > Auto correction (rugged lines to stright ones) of basic shapes, which the user draws. > Conversion of hand written formulas/equations to ones with clean system fonts. > Cut/Paste image snippets, draw, etc. Havenot made a mind map but am sure you can try doing it here. This is what I came up with as of now, would add on other stuff, as and when I come across/recollect them. PS Don't think you Have to have a Note to control bots, eh? Nevertheless would feel awesome! Do update me when you do it. :)
