I have iffy handwriting so I especially can't do that without palm recognition. Seems like only newish tablets with digital styli have that. At this point though I wouldn't mind the tablet also being a device I can use for internet use and google drive.

Side question. My ipad 2(fun when effort is made for grants and then eventually its obsolete technology) projects via apple tv but doesn't fill the entire screen due to 4:3 ratio ect. Do tablets like the galaxy tab project and fill the entire screen with 16:9? I have a large room that makes it hard for people to see in the back if the ipad is only mirroring part of the board with black bars.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 got given away and I'm STILL repairing it to this day.

Could you elaborate on the tab issue?

Yeah. I can’t help much with that. I have no idea what will interact with your projector/Mimeo/whatever you have.

If you’re going to rely on the pen, you’ll probably want to do better than the Samsung Note, IMO. I have a surface and while I don’t use the pen, the functionality is good. Not sure you’re wanting to drop that kind of coin.

Working on replacing the battery for a third time.
