One of my favorite products coming out of the 2012 CES was the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It's bigger that the typical smartphone and a few inches smaller than Samsung's tablets, but if you carry this device, you might be able to eliminate one or two other gadgets that you haul to that day-long meeting or overnight business trip. That is perfect for us road warriors here in Atlanta that are always looking to lighten out load.
AT&T announced today that the Samsung Galaxy Note will hot stores on February 19. You can also pre order one beginning Feb. 5 for delivery on or before Feb. 17.
The price is set at $299.99 with the standard AT&T agreement.
It's newsworthy and an interesting device because it's the world's first 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED™ screen (1280x800), one of the largest screens on any smartphone, for sharp, clear colors and readability – both indoors and out. The large, vibrant screen should be easy on the eyes; customers can take full advantage of the large display, to create and consume more.
Each Galaxy Note includes a highly advanced tool called the S Pen, which delivers fast, responsive and precise control to create fine lines and detail on the device display, much like an ink pen and pad of paper. With the S Pen, users can easily sketch drawings, jot down notes, or write emails and texts quickly in your own printing or handwriting.
That brings us to S Memo, an app that captures the output of the S Pen or a screen-capture. This allows for pictures, voice recordings, typed text, handwritten notes or drawings to be combined into a single app, for conversion to a "memo" or your choice of internal or cloud storage.
"The Galaxy Note brings a new level of efficiency to busy customers who would normally rely on multiple devices," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "This new breed of smartphone helps consumers accomplish more with a single device than ever before. The unique all-in-one experience can simplify daily life while tapping into AT&T's 4G LTE network to let customers work even faster."
If you are looking for a device that will do a little of everything and not be an addition to your pocket or messenger bag, but something that might replace a device or two that you tote around each day, the Samsung Galaxy Note might be for you.
