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

Does it have GPS ??

Guys does nexus 7 have GPS ?? and does it support a 3g/4g dongle via USB OTG cause it doesn't have a mobile connectivity.

Well i was in an absolute mood to buy it ever since it was in the rumors. but guys no back camera ??? not even GPS. C'mon, thats too much. Now i doubt I'll buy it cause the only purpose now I feel it has is gaming. Well i am not a die hard gamer. Too much features sacrificed just for the price tag. Would have been better if they released a better version with slightly higher price tag, umm.. around 300$ with GPS and at least 3g connectivity. DISAPPOINTED !!

Uuhhh why do you think it has no GPS? It says right on the specs section of the google play page that it has GPS.

Can somebody who has the tab on hands confirm that it definitely has GPS.
Different sources are giving different specs

Very good news M8

Oh hell yeah can't wait to get the Multi window feature.

Well, if they're testing it is because it's possible. I've seen the old SGS1 doing SO much even with that severe lack of memory, i reckon 1Gb is more than enough to do everything if well coded. I'm guessing it's just easier for samsung to add more ram than waste time in optimized coding and probably was a bit overboard hence the actual memory "problems". That and poor ram managing, my phone just seems to kill any process if the screen goes off after a while (it's a pain to download any game's extra data after installing, phone just cuts it off)
Anyway, this is wonderful news, thank you. Can't wait

Desperately waiting for this feature Great News

With this feature the s3 will definetly pwn the iphone5 and the nexus4 xd

members in the Israeli community are trying to get their hands on the rom...
believe me, when we'll have it, it'll post.
finger cross it'll be on final version as well.

I hope there will be a leak and then i can try to port it to the i9305

Yeah, right. I believe it when I see it, and a possibly photoshopped picture isn't valid proof.

the ****ers decided to make it as a closed beta only for those who bought their phone directly from them.

Heh i see this rom have kernel from 6-9 Nov xd

great news

Great News
Every S3 user was waiting for it.

Best Buy has a test to check your touchscreen!!

Download the Geeksquad app. I watched him run the test in front of me.
It showed a horizontal dead spot one the upper portion of my screen.
I hate to say this guys, but the employees were aware of the problem and told me that they believe it is a hardware problem.
Don't shoot the messenger - It's what I was told.
They took it back outside of the 15 day return window and issued me a full store credit.
I'll wait and see how people like the new LG G Pad.
Good luck!!

Is this the app being referenced?

Could someone please post the apk, its not available in my country

For those in other countries, here is the apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ufx4z87z5l2ecq8/com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one-1.apk

Thanks for the apk. I just ran the test and all it let's me do is test 5 areas of the screen and multi touch in top third. Am I missing something because I don't see a full screen test.

Same here.

Sorry guys, been at work.
Turn the tablet horizontal and try to drag the screen all the way to the right upwards.....Mine did nothing...
The manager even came and checked it out.....then gave me the nod - YES!!!

I have just completed the touch screen fix and it worked! I also could not complete the Greek squad test holding it horizontally. I had ghost touches, dragging issues and now my touch screen works flawlessly.

Maybe it is software..... I have no idea, just the opinion of Best Buy employees.
I hope they fix it, I'll still never buy anything from Google or ASUS - terrible service.
They ran from the problem.

If you don't have any daily issues I recommend to not try this app, I don't have any issues overall with my n7 and don't want them either.
Don't look for the issues

Totally agree. I haven't noticed any issues with my N7 and don't want to, haha.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but the app doesn't do anything different when being held horizontally....

I hope someone develops something like this. Maybe a slide version if possible like the Play so we can still use it as a phone without the gamepad getting in the way.

*.*
i need that when it comes out...
Anyway i think the Shell style isn't convenient, slider rulez

I agree slider rules. I may not have my PLAY anymore, but I still consider it to be the best gaming phone around. At least as far as emulators. I was able to run MC4 at 35-40fps by using app quarantine to kill all apps except mc4 the launcher and keyboard. And over clock to 1.4 with performance on lupus kernel. Game flew. Anyways sadly I had to sell my old xperia play some months ago. But I used it for almost 3 years.

This would be awesome to see and try out, granted it will never replace my xperia play which I found a keyboard that lets me type using the gamepads slbut sadly its only compatible with gb but I still have a select few games I can play without the use of the touchscreen

Looks really cool, would be nice if they did make a module like that

Lol ozzmanj1... You always bring us the juiciest of the news, even if it is a concept.
If people are looking into such possibilities, Project Ara might end up being the place to go after the Play.
Perhaps add extra battery capacity in the controller too? Or space for more Ara modules... Just a few ideas. lol.
On another note, Ara is going to be epic - been following it closely for a while now ever since PhoneBlocks.
