Don't Liqbase and its potential descendents have the evernote note-taking aspect of things covered?

I think that the key word in the original article is "thin". Isn't this a patented Mac word? I think he is setting us up for an Apple tablet that he has heard about. Maybe it's paranoia, but who sits around daydreaming about something really thin? Someone really thin maybe, but not something. It was Steve Jobs with that thin Mac who tried to parlay thinness into something significant.

For $200? I think not.

Evernote on the N8x0 would be cool however....

I tried Notecase; it did funky things with the HWR -- make that "funkiER" and it had none of the features Evernote has, save that it stores handwritten notes. And seriously, "as good as Palm Memo" is hardly a recommendation...

There are many applications on the Itablet that do that. None of them very well though.

Not really. If you have a spare tablet lying around, I suggest you install a trial version of PenOffice and Evernote. That should give you an idea of what Evernote can do.

I like the idea. I doubt I'll buy one however; the "iPhone-like keyboard" got me right off it. Do people even realize how much screen real estate gets sacrificed for a usable onscreen keyboard? PenOffice HWR takes away exactly zero percent of the screen (well, that's not true; the ink of your writing does obscure a few pixels temporarily).

Karel,

I'm afraid you're correct. A quick search for Linux HWR only comes up with other posts of yours ranting about the lack of support

You seem to spend a lot of time complaining about how much time it takes to get things done on these devices

. It's kind of a surprise that someone like you would purchase something like an n810. I'm not complaining, I like reading your posts.

I complain out of love.

Oh, and I don't have a N810, and never will. I own a 770 and a N800.

And yes, I also have a BT keyboard. My ranting is not because I only want HWR, but because I'm firmly convinced that modeless, preferrably cursive-aware HWR (as the Newtons have) is the most natural, the most efficient and the least intrusive way to input text on a tablet when there's no keyboard around (like, oh, when you put the thing in your pocket and go walkabout?).

If he really wants something that just runs a browser and skype, why does he care that in runs on linux? And why the need for all that ram and flash?

I would imagine that there are loads and loads of people who, like me, want a slightly bigger n800. 5x8 would be fantastic. I don't care about fitting the thing in my pocket. That's why I have a man purse.
