Top 10 Reasons To Buy Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
1. Note Taking
The S Pen is an amazing device. It conveniently docks into the Galaxy Note 10.1 at the
bottom right hand side. With the S Pen, you can create and send personalized notes; edit and
annotate PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents. Of course, you can also draw with
it. Coupled with the cool Photoshop Touch application that is included with the package; you
will be surprise with some very awesome things that you can do with a little of your
creativity.
The S Note and PS Touch work very well together with the new Samsung Galaxy S Pen. If
you are a student or works in the corporate world, you will find the S Pen so accurate that you
can literally hand write whole sheets of handwritten text with it.
The S Notes application allows you to export your hand writing file to PDF and JPG. It has
various types of templates to help you increase your productivity. Favorites amongt owners
of the Note 10.1 are the ruled paper, the meeting template (date, time, attendees, meeting
notes) and especially for those who like to cook, the recipe template. It also comes with the
free Papyrus Beta which is very nice and similar to S Note but has normal paper templates
such as College Ruled, Wide Ruled, Narrow Ruled, Blank and 4 different Graph Paper types.
Find out more about the S Note Settings whereby you can insert multiple files of your choice
including text, images, graphics, maps and even voice or video clips to create professional-
looking multimedia documents with unique content in the video clip below.

3. If you are a student, you will definitely love the shape & formula match feature. This feature
allows you a fast and efficient writing support. It includes shape matching functions that
renders hand-drawn circles, triangle & diagram into perfectly formed shapes. Formula Match
reformats handwritten mathematical equations into standard type for greater legibility.
2. Performance
In terms of performance, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is very smooth. Having been an
owner of some leading tablets, including the iPad and the Galaxy S, I am still amazed at how
fast the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is especially when it boots or restarts.
Web pages also loads very fast, in fact much faster than my Galaxy Tab 2. Touch
responsiveness is very smooth.
3. Front speaker
Having a good speaker makes your entertainment a pleasant experience. The speakers on the
Galaxy Note 10.1 are front facing and it produces clear and loud sounds. This makes listening
to music, playing games and watching videos or Netflix a very enjoyable experience.
4. WiFi, GPS and Map
The Wifi is very fast and also has a long range. The GPS is also very fast and accurate. I
installed the latest Google Maps and I found it absolutely fantastic and fast on the Galaxy
Note 10.1. I can also save a Map and it will be available to me even without a data
connection.
5. Remote control
I already have a Logitech Harmony One Universal remote but I am going to retire the
Harmony One as I find that I could get whatever I need with the Peel application that comes
free with the Galaxy Note 10.1.
The Peel Application has a great cable TV interface and it will tell you what service you have
and what you are currently playing, what will be playing and provides customized content
based on the preferences you specify. It also works with my DVR. As such I can manage all
my entertainment devices from the Peel application and this turns my Galaxy Note 10.1 into
an entertainment hub. It is also easy to set up the devices – in fact I took less than 10 minutes
to setup my TV, cable box and surround sound system with the Peel application setup wizard.
Cool…
6. Photoshop Touch and Drawing
As mentioned earlier, the S Pen works wonders with the Photoshop Touch. You can use it to
draw and also do all those fantastic editing on your drawings or photos. Coupled the
Photoshop Touch with the powerful photo editing features, you suddenly find that making
those fascinating images and producing brilliant photos that you had always wanted suddenly
becomes so easy.

4. 7. Adobe Flash
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 supports Adobe Flash. So you can still continue to enjoy the
host of applications that is available in Flash.
8. Multi Tasking
The Note 10.1 is able to perform multi-tasking. It multitask application combos such as the
base browser, S Note, video player, Polaris Office, picture gallery and email app. It puts any
two windows side-by-side and works seamlessly.
Now, you can do 2 things at the same time. For example, what if you want to see an actor’s
profile while watching a movie you recently downloaded? Just use the ”Multiscreen” button
and open the internet browser or the S Note. You don’t need to stop the movie or the browser
so that you surf web or make a note. If you want to copy the image? Just capture and drag it
to the S Note opened right next to the web page. ith the pop up play, you can now watch
videos and at the same time check your email or send an SMS. The phone feature of the
Galaxy Note 10.1 lets you play your video on a PIP (picture-in-picture) display, so that you
can do two things at the same time. You can also resize the video freely by pinch zoom in and
out as well.
9. Battery Life and Stability
On the average I get about 10 to 12 hours of battery life. At the forums, the Galaxy Note 10.1
got very high praises by owners for long lasting battery life.
Unlike some other tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 also scores very highly in terms of
stability. It seldom crash or hangs.
10. Miscellaneous
a. SwitchMe App
If you set up your SwitchMe App you can use this free application to provide your Android
device multiple profiles. For example, you can have your home screen with your Google
account on your profile while your spouse’s profile can have a completely different home
screen with completely different applications your spouse’s own Google account. If you
understand Android, you will know that having an Android device with two separate profiles
with each having a different default Google account is pretty amazing.
b. Polaris Office
This is a mobile office solution that allows you to use the let end-users easily read and edit
various document formats of PC in mobile environment. Polaris Office has a fast loading
performance and high quality rendering. The current version, Office 3.0 lets user operate
various editing functions intuitively with Whiz UI®, which is proprietary UI form. Its
modularized architecture enhances portability of solution on various mobile platforms.

5. The Negative Side?
So far, for everyday practical use, I could not really find any negative aspect to the Samsung
Galaxy Note 10.1. However I do see a lot of reviewers, especially the professional reviewers
mentioning that it is not HD (High Definition).
Unless you really want to bring the tablet right in front of your eyes, you will hardly notice
anything. In fact when I first look at the demo Helicopter clip that Samsung had, I was so
impressed with the clarity and sharpness of the screen.
Also do note that to use HD, you will need HD applications and there are not many HD
applications in the market at this moment.
What Have Owners Of The Note 10.1 Have To Say?
If you are a student who needs to take notes and annotate pdf or slides, you SHOULD get the
Note 10.1. With this, I am not going to bring any backpack and notes. I am reallllly happy
with my new tablet!… H. Yoon
I just can’t say enough about this tablet. I am so glad that it finally came out. And as amazing
as this thing is already, Sammy says we should get Jelly Bean very shortly! So an already
great tablet will become even better! If you are considering taking the plunge with this thing,
go ahead and do it! I think you’ll be happy. It seems like the possibilities are almost endless
with this device. Did I mention that the S-Pen is crazy awesome?!?!?!!! Eddster
After a week with this device I will say it is the best mobile device I have ever owned, hands
down… Nak
If you have been an iPad user for long time, I suggest you give the Note a couple of days
before you make your decision. On the first day, I was a bit disappointed because it did not
work in the way I was used to. But once I get used it, I came to like Android better than iOS. I
think iOS does a great job simplifying its operations; even my three year old daughter can
use it. However, for me, Android OS offers more functionality and efficiency… Sanghoon Lee
I have never been able to master Photoshop despite having taken a workshop. When I learned
that PS Touch was pre installed in the Note, I decided to try it. I’ve had the tablet for about a
week, and am able to edit my photos way beyond my expectations. The split screen is very
handy and the tablet on the whole is a joy to use. I can very strongly recommend the Note
10.1. Very happy I chose it over the ipad. Same price, $499, faster processor, expandable
memory, S-pen, multiscreen capabilities, 2 gigs ram, I even prefer the screen layout (wider
than ipad) for watching movies and videos… Harriet

6. Where To Buy Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1?
You can buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from any electronic retailer or through the
internet. However, I bought my Galaxy Note 10.1 from Amazon. The reason for buying from
Amazon is its return policy. I like this because if for any reason the product I bought does not
come up to my expectation within the return period, then I will just return the product to
Amazon and get my refund.
