I own HP Touschsmart laptop, it's kinda crossover of laptop and tablet, with multitouch screen, works nice as mobile laptop.
It turns out that I can use the same pen that is attached to laptop on note, its Wacom pen, so maybe there is some kind of hope for different drivers maybe for not, cause lack of calibration is irritating.
Just wanted to share
There is a great thread on the forum if you searched, where they list multiple pen's that work and does not work with the SGN

Hey!
I bet there is someone asked this before, but I seached the forums and didt get any results.
Since the HD got such a big screen in size, it could be cool to be able to connect it to a PC and use it as mouse like a drawing board. I downloaded Paint to the mobile and worked great to draw with the pen, so maybe it could be possible to make a program to use it as a mouse?
Heh, that's a cool idea! I wonder why this has never been done before with earlier smartphones. Or at least not as far as I know.
Could you install and use the Remote Desktop client on your Touch to control your computer mouse?
Have you tried Gremote? You can connect via wifi and use your screen as a touch pad, and you can also use the accelerometer to control you mouse pointer.
I've only tried it on Kaiser, so not sure about working with the WVGA screen.
in diamond apps forum or wiki
get an eye on diamond forum, you can connect your phone via bluetooth and using it like a logitech mouse.
I found a program

I found (I can't remember the name) a program, which I used for my old Acer n35. I could use the 3 inch screen as a mouse pad, but it didn't work with WIFI...
Please forgive my ignorance - I'm a fairly new developer and know very little about hardware.
The subject line of the post pretty much says it all. I'm looking for something inexpensive with an eInk screen that I can use to type on, as regular monitors tire out my eyes after a while. If no software exists, I'd be very happy to contribute to that development, which is part of why I was looking to the Nook (I'm most comfortable in Java).
Does the current model or any previous eInk model have the capacity to connect a physical keyboard? If not, are there any other eReaders that do have this ability? (I know I can get an eInk screen for a netbook, but I don't want to spend that much if I can avoid it.) I saw a few old threads discussing whether or not USB Host was possible, but none seemed to have a conclusive answer one way or another.
Thanks for your help!
I'm not quite sure if the current version has Bluetooth. But since it is android and if it does have Bluetooth. Chances are there would be the possibility of connecting a Bluetooth keyboard.
Another possibility is getting an eeepc network and replacing the screen yourself with a pixelqi screen. That should be easier on your eyes (though probably not so easy on your wallet)

Sorry, Volcanolotus, but the STR does not have bluetooth. One further option for that would be use the usb connector, converting it to usb host, and adding the physical keyboard. It is just a concept, but it may work.

Hm. I thought so too. Fret not! I just thought of a solution. It has wifi right... Use this! https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52b2xvc3l1a2l2YW4iXQ..
Though its really a clumsy solution but a solution nonetheless
Though i love the nook, would not a kindle, already having a keyboard be a better option?
Now, in regards to using the USB port as a USB host, in regards to cell phones running android, the hardware is there, though software uses have been hit/miss on. ICS (Android 4.0) enables usb host functionality natively in the operating system, this will probably be your best bet for the functionality you want. The downside is that I would expect it to be atleast a year or longer before ICS comes to the nook.
keyboard now working
I asked verygreen to work on this and 24 hours later, voila.
(Nook Touch Android Development) USB Host support (working)
Hi
As title stated I am just planning to use galaxy note as a device that let me control my bussiness pc even work as office.
There is only one video which is very good example of this on youtube
but ı want to know your experience.
My aim is that
1- Use galaxy note teamviewer to reach bussiness server and wake on line my personel bussiness computer
2- use galaxy note as a remote desktop connect it to a monitör with hdmı cable so that now ı am on vocation and using asus n1215 if this can happen ı am no longer bring this netbook with me. Insteead o this ı will buy a montör and use only galaxy note.
3- use microsoft wireless usb mouse and keyboard by connecting usb cable to galaxy note
If this is possible then every bussiness man no longer have to bring their little computers with them
I am really looking for your answers.
I would like to do this with LogmeIn as well. But I think there is something you should conciser.
You are planning to use a USB mouse and keyboard? The HDMI connector would take up the Notes single port, so unless you have the right splitter, and the Note works with that splitter, I think you will need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I just hope that the App works with the mouse HID drivers. I tried this with my Jailbroken iPhone with BT Mouse stack and the app would not recognize the mouse pointer.
why not bluetooth KB & mouse?
KB: I use Logitech KB for Android
Mouse: MS 5000k
They both work flawlessly.
because Bluetooh keyboard and mouse are more expensive then usb.
In additon to this ı use Nokia N8 now and ı tried microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse by connecting usb device to nokia n8 and it works properly.
I hope galaxy note will be the my final smart phone and ı could use it all daily work activities.
If the soul purpose is to control work PC, why not get VPN to the office and use a proper laptop?
On Topic : I used teamviewer with Galaxy S II to help a friend and it was great.
When I get the note in 5 days, I can perform this experiment for you.

I am really looking forward for your teamviewer experiment thanks.
Please let us know teamviewer performance of galaxy note
I use both Teamviewer and PocketCloud for remote connections to my computers. I use both on my GTab 8.9 and my SGS2. Spend the extra money on bluetooth KB/Mouse; it's the ONLY way you will be able to use both AND still use MHL for external display. On that note (no pun intended), both clients display at handset's native resolution for anything except for video. So, no matter what display you use (even 1080p display) you're still going to be "limited" to 1280*800 in your remote client (which really isn't that bad when you consider, that's basically laptop resolutions!).
Another thing worth mentioning is that Android doesn't really have a "right-click," so you're not going to be able to click your right mouse button in your RDP client and get a right-click response. Just FYI.
aside from this, are there any remote desktop apps for android that does not use any client-side..clients? everything i've seen so far needs to have a client installed on the pc

You can have right click depending on the app - Splashtop has long press left mouse button perform a windows right click for example.
I just saw the Galaxy Note at work today and omg what an awesome phone. I understand now that we have changed generations. This is really next gen! The display is incredible!
Anyway, it struck me as well. With the resolution beeing really close to the 1366x768 resolution on my computer. Im excited to know how this works! And if you already got it, congrats!
Interested to know which other apps work with keyboard/mice - Splashtop is the only one I've found that does (but been a while since I tried the others).
I've used Team Viewer a couple of times with my Note and I've even connected a bluetooth mouse to it, whats worth noting is that you will have 3 mouse cursers going on at once when using Team Viewer and a mouse connected to your phone, the mouse will have a curser and the Team Viewer will have a curser and then the client computer will have a curser. And you can't just click with your mouse and control the client mouse, you have to click and drag the Team Viewer mouse to move the client mouse. Left mouse button will click as normal once your Team Viewer mouse/client mouse is in position but right mouse button will function as the back button and try to close the app down, however, there is a mouse button on screen along the bottom that acts as a right mouse button. Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Sounds awful, that's why I use Splashtop now.
Hello everyone!
I just started working on a small project and would like to hear what you people think about it.
The idea of the project is simple. Create a dock for your smartphone, which basically extends its usability to a full fledged laptop or PC.
All the new phones mostly have MHL (11pin) connectors which means connecting it to an HDMI screen is not a problem. Also, a use of a wireless mouse and keyboard is quite simple and very functional.
So what I am thinking of creating is sort of a laptop with a 13.3 inch screen, a keyboard (maybe even removable to use separately) and a battery to power the LCD.
I have already been in contact with producers of LCDs and control boards, and believe I should start creating the prototype soon.
So what are your thoughts about it?
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you and have a good day!
*to mod: if this is in the wrong section I apologize and kindly ask you to move it to the appropriate section of the forum or message mo to put it somewhere else. Thank you1

Man this is great
I have been thinking about it for some time ... to make my phone a laptop whenever i need to have me a laptop
My solution was to find a virtual machine that runs inside my phone for any type of os ... the problem is the memory !!! Also the app i didnt find it yet
Well bro good luck
If i were you i would take advantage of screen casting instead of lcd monitor so in case the user wanna use the device screen or the tv !!! You can also sell a mini hdmi thing ( the hdmi stick that lets you cast your screen into tv )
Also there is a keyboard and mouse as one piece and their small and great could take them with you everywhere in ... i saw it amazon for 35$ or less something like that with Bluetooth connection. ... im sure you can find a way to do some mod for those keyboards and make them yours ... good luck and keep us posted
A great idea!

Hi, I bought this tablet because of the stylus and the drawing capablilities, but on youtube I stumbled across a video where one guy attaches a wacom graphic tablet to a Nexus 7 and works even with pressure sensivity, I tried this with my EVGA Tegra Note 7 but didn't work, do you guys know if there is something I have to do before connecting it via OTG? maybe I have to install Wacom drivers to the tablet. The wacom lights up when I connect it to the tablet but doesn't recognize it like a mouse input.
The title of the video in question is "Google Nexus 7 Tablet & OTG Cable for USB Host Connection" I can't post links so please search for it :silly:.
Thanks in advance.
Please forgive my english, is not my natural language.
It's possible the Nexus 7 had a custom rom installed with some kind of drivers added. Impossible to tell without the video. All (well, almost all) of the source code for the Tegra Note 7 is available so that you may compile your own version, including drivers if you find any. I doubt that the stock AOSP kernel supports Wacom tablets out of the box.
On Linux (and therefore Android), the drivers are part of the kernel, so unless someone develops a kernel with the Wacom drivers included, it won't work. Perhaps someone could take Shaky's kernel source and add those drivers and see if it works? I'd give it a go except any time I try anything involving code, a baby unicorn dies.
Yeah it happens to me too, Peta sued me for the unicorns. But a friend of mine that has the same tablet is helping me to make it work, we have the drivers (I think they are the right ones) and maybe we can get it to work.
