I always want to be able to take note in a very flexible way in a meeting or whatsoever. There are all sorts of applications that I can think of! For instance, I can record the meeting / presentation / seminar while jogging down notes, taking pictures of something I see on the street and take note, found some internet that I could take note for later use in work, etc. Sadly, it seems stylus and multi-touch are not easy to co-exist. And, those gadgets (aka semi-smart phones that use stylus) are just too slow, too small, and too impotent for anything.
As for the HTC Flyer, unfortunately I could not find anywhere in Shanghai where I can try out the product. So, all I can do is to rely on the reviews and YouTube video clips. Again, from the reviews the scribble function (as being called by HTC) just functioned badly - it is not writing on the paper, size is double, and hand writing is ugly.
After checking both of these devices available, I somehow come to a conclusion - intuitive writing like on a paper is still far from being achieved by current technology! One thing for sure, the paper has friction, and precision of writing can be freely controlled by our hand, gripping force, pressing force, etc. All these natural movements are still not able to be mapped digitally on these tablets, computers or smart phones. I so hope one day I do not need to take note on a paper in a meeting, and then forget about it because it is just to troublesome to digitize it!
