Let's see if Dell will surprise us all with similar spec on the new streak .. LOL

Two words: Battery Life
The deal-maker for me will be battery life. Some guy on the ATT forums says he's getting about 5-6 hours of battery life from his Samsung Infuse and that's a deal-breaker for me. Hopefully the Pantech engineers will surprise us with something that can last the day w/o plugging it in....

Hopefully it'll be available outside of Korea, as well, otherwise a lot of us are gonna have to get down there somehow. And with unsubsidized pricing it'll probably cost a pretty little penny.

Yea man sweet looking phone be good to have that on the north american side of the pond, be better if dell beat those specs though a qhd screen quad core 1.2ghz 16g internal with 32g expansion betterusic player with a bloody good equalizer an 5.1 dolby etc, then again asus has a thing going on, no specs or good pics of it just snap shoots of ramdom parts of the device with a slogan breaking the rules pad or phone be anonnced at the end of the month if it beats the streak im moving on to the dark side

periods are for girls (pun!), any true man doesnt use them.
On Topic, I'm really hoping the asus thing is a 5" phone and not an atrix-like device like some are speculating. I really like asus' products and a 5" phone from them would be perfection.

will this have US compatible bands? or we will have to wait for US version.

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?

There was a bluetooth pen or something like that on presentation video from samsung, but it was supposed to make calls or something like that as i understood.

Btw Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 best device ever! Nah jk it is pretty cool though.

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

Great pics. The one that stands out the most to me is the one of the screens. How does the resolution compare?

the resolution looks pretty much the same honestly.. which is a good thing considering how much bigger the screen is.. i also forgot to mention that the touch has a screen protector and the og doesnt. so im sure the touch looks a little better with the protector off. i put on the protector before i even put the battery in lol..

i want one

Now post one with the keyboards visible on both of them.
The buttons below the screen don't light up?

hhaha.. good one.. honestly this is my first non keyboard phone ( since my htc touch ) and i thought i was going to miss it but this screen is so big that typing on this is actually easier than the crappy physical keyboard that was on the epic. especially with the keyboard for android app from the market.. and yes the buttons light up. i had it set to turn of every second and a half..

Nice pics

Samsung Galaxy Note size comparison with HTC Vivid and GSII Skyrocket

I was testing out the Galaxy Note at CES 2012 yesterday and have to say the white Galaxy Note is great looking. I put the GSII SR next to his big brother and brought along the HTC Vivid as well.
The AT&T branded Note did seem a bit laggy, not to bad but I noticed a bit compared to my GSII SR.

Nice someone who was or is there lol. Anyway hopefully the lag is fixed soon, like the international note and did you test the spen calibration?

The international Note "lags" compared to the international GS2 too. Mo' pixels, plain and simple.

LOL, yeah on the road back home. Actually the pen seemed calibrated. Samsung removed the original stylus and they had the pen that will be a assessory which is like a regular pen. It was more comfortable to use.
Also once you were in the application there is no lag using the application, again this could be fixed or not, but its nothing that would make me stop from buying the Note.
Samsung really was pushing the GNote, as it was advertised everywhere.
By the way, there was a lot of attendees with the international Galaxy Note. I saw the blue one and liked the back color blue, but something about the white one that is just calling my name. The white one does look bigger because of the color compared to the black one.

They removed the S-Pen phone dock?

Yeah, the lag is really due to the 3X pixels it has to process. So just have to accept it when compared to the S2. Hopefully ICS will help it out.

The stylus dock is there, Samsung didn't put the pen stylus because at CES 2012 show, most likely they would disappear. Even though in the lobby Samsung had setup a charge station with some Galaxy Note phones to try, and out of all of them, only one had the pen stylus.
Here is picture of the white Note which is looking nice.

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.

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.

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...
