Samsung developing OCR-stylus app!?!?

When I bought my Tab this past weekend (BB 202 Wilmington DE) there was a Samsung rep there and he was telling me that Samsung is developing a hand writing app to use with a standard stylus. Part of the screen, think where your keyboard will be will be dead as a wrist rest and the screen was designed to be used with line drawing so no lag. So anyway he goes on and says that there is going to be an app like one note coming out as well.
I didn't think anything of it really till i was looking at Samsung's website for a case for this and I saw that one of the accessories was a really nice capacitive typed pens. I just thought it was an odd coincidence. Also I did ask him where he heard this he said he was at Google IO and they were talking about it there. Anybody heard any of this or was this dude full of ish?

This would be cool if it was true. I for one hope that it is.
This feature will make me complete.

I'd love a good handwriting app. Nothing in the market now even comes close to the iPad app

http://1saleaday.com/wireless/ has the G-Tech Bluetooth Wireless Fabric Keyboard with Adjustable Key Sensitivity & ElekTex Flexible Technology
for ten bucks shipped. I just ordered it and won't have any idea about compatability or usefullness until I get it. But I imagine that it should be just fine.
Since it is a deal a day site. These deals are here one minute and gone the next.
I'll post a quickie review when it comes in.
EDIT; I just got back from reading the reviews at Amazon... Doesn't look good at all. Might work with the tablet, might not. Buy at your own risk. Next time I read the reviews first... DOH!

This would be really cool if it worked well!

Yeah, be nice if it works. I do not expect it too, but if I have any success I will post it here. The device actually requires an app installed on a pc or windows mobile phone(not the new windows phone) to work. There's like maybe a 2% chance that it will.
Sorry about cluttering the board with this...

At first I thought 'interesting' then I read the Amazon reviews, as you did, then I thought 'ouch'.

I thought I was the only only one to say meh its only ten dollars! Im still waiting and hoping it works at least twice.LOL
Im hoping this will work with the phone since the 10 amazon one wont because of outdated drivers. (works for HC though LOL)!

I bought this keyboard only to find out about it, after i got it home, that it does not work with android.
I do have a touchpad and it is suppose to work with palm OS so perhaps it will work on that tablet.
Anyone get it to work on android device or the touchPad running WebOS?

Hey guys, check this out:
[ok i'm not able to post external links, but search for blue piano]
This may work on the keyboard. Someone has tried it, but there are issues with the keyboard sending extraneous characters.

Found the app in the market... BluePiano.
It does seem to pick up the keystrokes. I've only tried the demo version. I think that those extra characters are a "feature" of the demo. Lol it is a 20 dollar app so the price of this cheap keyboard just went to the next level.
Thanks so much for the tip. I may get the app when I get paid.

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard Recommendations

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a bluetooth keyboard for my Xoom. I was looking at the Logitech MK320 mouse/keyboard combination, but I wasn't sure if I'd have to use the supplied dongle. (Since the Xoom doesn't have a regular USB port...)
Would this work? If not, does anyone have a keyboard that they'd recommend?
Thanks for the advice in advance...

I personally use the apple Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad, connected using twelvesouth's magic wand (twelvesouth.com/products/magicwand/).
It's remarkable how well the trackpad works with the tablet, as well as the keyboard (the keys for volume, music control, etc, work).
Perhaps a bit pricey, but I'm actually really glad I went this route. Makes a great little setup together with the Motorola Xoom dock, too

I really like the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard. I also just bought the Xoom keyboard folio case. Works great with the Moto BT mouse. Never liked a trackpad, myself.

The motorola keyboard was on sale with a mouse at forty bucks, it still might be. Thats what I use. The mouse is annoying to repair every time, but the keyboard works great and the android buttons are really useful. It wakes right up and works immediately, and its small and light and exceedingly portable.

Howdy,
Believe it or not, I use a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard with my Xoom and it works pretty good. I got it at a good price online, but here's the link if you're curious:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/bluetooth-mobile-keyboard-6000

I have to agree w/ @brianmortiarty. The keyboard is great. The mouse came free with mine and works perfectly. In total it was $40 shipped.

Best keyboard?

Anyone have strong suggestions for the samsung dock KB or the logitech BT one? Both look solid... is there another suggested KB I may not be looking at?
Finding myself wanting to take this to meetings now rather than my large ThinkPad.
Edit... son of a ((#$($//// could have sworn I was in the accessories section. My bust.

I have the Logitech and its great. A breeze to setup and a number of handy shortcut keys

Samsung Dock or Logitech
I just sold my Samsung keyboard dock and bought the Logitech case keyboard today. Both are nice. I like that the Logitech makes up a case, the and is bluetooth so it could technically work with any phone or tablet. I was also a bit disappointed that the Samsung dock doesn't really work much better than a bluetooth. For instance, the onscreen keyboard still pops up when you tap the screen. I expect that with bluetooth, but an OEM keyboard should be better.
I liked the Samsung keyboard okay, but like the Logitech too. Both are nice. (Tip: the Logitech is at Target for $59.99. Still $100 online last I checked.)

The Samsung OEM BT keyboard is terrific. It doubles as a case and adds very little bulk. You can also place the keyboard face down (it has rubber stops) so it doubles as a stand. It's pricey though. It's actually cheaper to buy it in the UK. With FedEx shipping it comes out to $110 USD. (www.handtec.com)

hi,
i'm using the oem samsung keyboard with dock, but i'm not satisfied with this.
is there a keyboard styled for using it like a netbook? i mean that you can turn the tablet down on the keyboard.

[OFF-TOPIC] LeapMotion

So for those who haven't seen this yet, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'll let the video speak for itself.

I saw this yesterday on the PhillyD show... it blew my mind. That is so cool.

And it only is $70! They still haven't shown how it replaces the keyboard though, so that's the only thing I'm not sure how they're going to do. Maybe either voice diction or virtual keyboard?

My guess would be voice commands. Even a virtual on screen keyboard. That is going to be super cool. Definitely going to buy that thing.

Awesome. I wonder if it will have Linux drivers?

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It's more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.
Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, no minority report fans here? I would have figured post #2 would be something about minority report, lol. I definitely want one along with a huge projection screen.

I wonder how long it'll be before Apple puts it in their own gadgets and the media fawns all over them for it. ;-) I hope it plays nice with older PCs too.

Well apparently Leap has been acquired by many TV manufactures and is planning to have the technology in future TVs. Kinda like how the Kinect was made for Microsoft but it wasn't made by them.

any updates on this product...
