Evernote is a good replacement for writing and such.
I use that sometimes along with pocket informant which allows mixed typing and writing notes.
The built-in Notes app allows ink and text. I don't know how it handles images tho.
I like Pocket Informant too for writing notes.
Hi,
I am considering buying the Iconia Tab and I would like to use it also as a notepad. One thing I am worried about is writing with a stylus on it. Does the software recognize my hand touching the screen when writing with stylus? I really don't wanna use any gum gloves and stuff. It is really bothering for taking notes. I guess this is a big problem when handwriting on a tablet, right?
MSFT was annotating PDFs in their Reader app during the presentation of the Surface PRO. I tried it on my Surface RT, but couldn't find a way.
Did they use some unreleased preview version or has anyone found a way to annotate PDFs ? I couldn't find any other Readers in the Store either.

I don't know about Annotating PDFs in Microsoft Reader but Adobe reader is available in the Store, & I imagine that you should be able to get Adobe website Reader from the Adobe website as well.

The store just links to the Desktop app which I cant install on Win RT. Normal notes work just fine (doubleclick to select text), but I cant get touch input (capacitive stylus) to work.
Windows can't tell the difference between a finger and a capacitive stylus; you need a digitizer stylus for it to be recognized as pen input. I think the annotations thing may only be for pen input, sadly. It works great on my (old) digitizer-but-non-touchscreen tablet (which I upgraded to Win8) but like you, I couldn't make it work on my Surface RT.

Yeah to a touchscreen a stylus is just a finger, but if you have a Wacom digitizer on the screen with a pen (like thinkpad x tablets or the galaxy note series, Samsung x86 slates) then there is very precise, pressure sensitive input that is read differently by the computer.

Hi fellow xda developers,
My team and myself want to create an app that uses an SPEN.
Now I've got a few questions about this topic.
1) Is there even a way of making use of the SPEN in Xamarin or Android Studio or any other freeware?
2) We want to use a samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 for our work. Does the system recognize pen input as pen input or does it recognize pen input as finger input?
Hello Yoga Book XDA,
I'm looking to buy a YOGA BOOK when it's released but I have a few questions on my mind that we could maybe think about and find an answer to.
1. Do you think, given the fact that there is no hardware difference, we will see dual boot Win10 / Android through XDA developers community? I'm going to be extra excited if this is a future possibility.
2. How do you guys think the X5 Atom processor will fair? I currently have an i3 380UM laptop from 2011 - and the CPU passmark says the X5 is faster (scoring higher). So I guess it's an upgrade for me. The i3 380UM does basic Illustrator and Photoshop without much issues, so I'm very hopeful for the X5.
3. Is the 4G modem standard on the Android and Windows version? Or is it a separately priced model?
That's all for now! Perhaps other people can chime in with their questions and together we can get a Q/A thread going.
Just brought the Android version and tried different app. It's smooth and work great for movie, browsing.
Will try gaming later. Very very minor delay by using the pen, which is OK for me.
it'll be very interesting if it can be dual boot to Win/And
Have you found an alternative supplier for the paper pads?
@black818pro - How do you like the device? I am eyeing it when it's released in the US. Any chance to shoot a quick video review?
Can you use OneNote on Android to take notes on paper? Or is this limited to a lenovo app?
Hi,
I bought the Lenovo Yoga Book Android version WiFi only.
I want to set it up as a productive device (read: buy Android and try if I can do everything what I can do with Win), including MS Office, Google Docs, SSH Client for my Server Management and ez PDF Reader to read and annotate PDFs.
Drawing is not my use case.
Verdict after one week:
HW:
+ hardware is amazing, you can read in the internet
+ battery life is really good
+ keyboard is way better than expected, at least I can type on it quite good.
+ Annotating PDF in a new way: I activate the scratch pad, then I clsoe the small Lenovo Notes window. So I have the PDF on the screen and can annotate it via the still active scratch pad. This way, my hand does not get in the way of my information. Takes some getting used to, but works OK!
- it is not really possible to write directly on the screen, with Lenovos AnyPen technology, you won't have palm rejection on the screen
- the touchpad is not good. I use an external mouse anyway.
SW:
+ Android came a long way considering the use of mouse and keyboard. It really works good
+ Office suites both of Google and MS for Android get everything done that I neeed to do.
+ Switching between Pen and Keyboard mode works reliable.
- Pen in OneNote is lagging A.F.
Edit 13. October:
Actually, note taking in OneNote works perfectly fine, even with a lot of other programs running in the background. See post 16 of this thread. I just re-tested it on @ashwincr's request.

Thanks for the detailed post. I presume you can annotate Google docs and word in the way you describe?
I will check this later!
Hi, I can confirm that I can easily annotate in Word via the drawing tab. I have not found this functionality in Google Docs yet.

Thanks. Weird that Google docs doesn't respond though.
After using the Android version for a while, I dont like the Yoga Book in this configuration. I finally changed to Windows version and find it's more suitable with a keyboard like Yoga.

Can you please explain why the windows version is preferable for you? Is it a simple preference for windows over android through more familiarity with windows, or is it because the implementation of the software works better whilst using windows?

The Version with the 4G modem is a separate model. It has different model numbers
Without 4G (Android) : YB1-X90F

I use fiinote for the note taking and this works also with the digitizer and real pen.

Thanks for the detailed review. So I assume the pen works but is laggy in One Note on Android. I plan on using this a lot for note taking with the pen on the notepad. As long as the notes are captured correctly in OneNote, I am not too concerned if it is laggy. My requirements are for my hand written notes to be captured correctly and later archived in OneNote. Do you think the Android version with One Note will work for this scenario?
ashwincr, I checked OneNote performance once again and found out that it works perfectly smooth.
I made a short screencast of it. I think your use case should be covered! BUY! (no I do not work for Lenovo)

Best chance at the moment is probably to unlock the bootloader, pull stock recovery and with those files port CWM recovery for this device. Then you should be able to flash unsigned files, e.g. SuperSU.
It's quite simple to unlock the bootloader using fastboot, porting CWM...well yeah....anybody out there whose capable???
