This week I recieved a new device from Samsung. A Galaxy Note. Due to Life Getting In The Way I only got around to setting it up and migrating my data onto it this evening after my shift at The Lowry (saw my first opera, Mademe Butterfly being produced by Opera North – great rendition! Looking forward to their next run in Feb/March).
So not really had long to play with this yet. When I was first reading about a device coming with a stylus I was somewhat skeptical about it’s usefulness. I did scoff at the idea (something along the lines “oh gods! We’ve gone back to the 1990s!”).
After only a few hours of playing with this Note I can happily write – in my own untidy scrawl – on here, twitter, or anywhere else I would normally have to type. Without having to learn new gestures or even having to write in a set pattern. For reference I am writing this in a combination of joint mess (my natural handwriting is not even approaching tidy) and individually drawn characters.
Something that has caught my eye on here is S Memo. The image attached is a quick doodle made with S Memo, this Galaxy Note&stylus, a single paint brush & colour and variable pressure control opacity. I think it’s rather awesome for that alone.
More GalaxyNote adventures when I’ve finished drawing…
