Last Thursday, Samsung introduced it’s hybrid of a mobile and a tablet PC at the IFA, held in Berlin.
The device’s size is almost half of a normal tablet PC and two times the size of a regular SmartPhone. This led to Samsung developing a brand new technology category.
DJ Lee, global head of marketing and sales and executive vice president at Samsung justified this new initiative stating that it is targeted primarily at the market segment that uses small notebooks to jot down ideas. For their use, Samsung has provided a special stowaway stylus to help them in drawing, note taking and screen capturing.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note runs Gingerbread 2.3 and is an Android device. It has a 5.3 inches 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED touch screen. Other features of the device are a removable 2500mAh battery, 1.4 GHz processor, 2MP and 8MP dual cameras, HSPA+ and LTE. Furthermore, it is light (178gms) and thin (9.65mm).
The operating system comes with TouchWiz and 7 home screens that have been designed to make the best use of the stylus (named ‘S Pen’ by the manufacturers). Programmes included in the hybrid are the S Planner, a to-do list app and a native calendar. It is quite easy to drag and drop applications without the need of opening up an entry.
Samsung is not yet certain about the first place that will receive Galaxy Note, so it will be sometime since we know about its availability in the United Kingdom.
