ReMarkable Paper Tablet
- nerdponx 10y agoSo a tablet-sized smartboard? Who is the target market for a product like this?
- fiatjaf 10y agoAre you crazy? This is the best thing ever invented, if it is good as in the video. I bet 95% of HN users will buy one.
- lb1lf 10y agoI can see myself being in the target market (sw/hw developer) - while much of my day-to-day work takes place on a computer, I still rely on pen and paper for early sketches/brainstorming and the like, leading to an office with (quite literally!) hundreds of notebooks on the shelves. If it feels sufficiently paper-y to write on and PDF exporting is seamless-y and with at least a rudimentary tagging function, I'd probably buy one.
- chris_st 10y agoIf you have an iPad (or know someone who does), download the app "Paper" by 53 and play with it for a while. I think you'll get the idea.
- pjc50 10y agoThat looks rather lovely. The smart paper tablet that some of us have always wanted. "Better thinking" might be an overstatement, but it is quite a hassle to doodle on a computer, and I do find that I think slightly differently while handwriting.
- deckiedan 10y agoI want one. If anyone feels like supporting this project, but doesn't think they'd actually use such a device, let me know, I'd happily accept one to test / use / etc.
- fiatjaf 10y agoLet these be my words.
- linuxkerneldev 10y agoFor those feeling the impulse to empty their wallets, I urge caution. I just got done being burned by the kickstarter for the goodreader equivalent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reader#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade... I see no evidence that the team behind this "remarkable" product has ever completed anything of this scale. Some of the claims are very suspicious. https://liliputing.com/2016/11/remarkable-10-3-inch-writing-slate-goes-pre-order-379.html https://liliputing.com/2016/11/remarkable-10-3-inch-writing-... "reMarkable says the screen has 55ms latency for quick response from pen input" 55ms would be impressive for an LCD. Even the iPad Pro has a latency of 60ms [1]. So a 55ms claim for an E Ink panel? Should raise one's alarm detector. [1] http://www.anandtech.com/show/9766/the-apple-ipad-pro-review/9 http://www.anandtech.com/show/9766/the-apple-ipad-pro-review...
- douche 10y agoI'm holding out hope, but the endless cycle of delays does not look good with the goodreader project...
- cokernel 10y agoCould you clarify the source of the 60ms figure for the iPad Pro? The review you cite says: > After a few trials I measured an approximate latency for the iPad Pro of roughly 49ms or 3 frames of delay
- sandsmark 10y agothe latency is basically the only thing we've focused on for a while, it's a very focused device in terms of what we spend our resources on. the high latency is one of the reasons normal tablets suck for writing and sketching.
- CoolGuySteve 10y agoAt 55ms I'd much rather have a phone or netbook with this display. So I'll believe it when I see it.
- kod 10y agothe same article you linked states that sofware is a major factor in lag, because a different app has ony a 2 frame latency.
- heinrichf 10y agoThis is very reminiscent of the Noteslate vaporware: http://www.noteslate.com/ http://www.noteslate.com/
- sandsmark 10y agoexcept we waited until we had actual hardware prototypes before going public, from an ODM we've been working on for a while. and (some of our team) are on HN, which gives us much more street cred. and you can find pictures of us. one of the reasons I've been skeptical about the noteslate is because I couldn't really find out who was making it.
- Tepix 10y agoWill you show your working prototypes at CES then?
- sandsmark 10y agowe went to CES this year to see if there was any reason for us to go, but based on that we decided not to. it's insanely huge and hard to get any kind of exposure, even if people knew about us beforehand. but seeing is believing, especially with this product, videos doesn't do it justice imho. so we need some way of getting it into the hands of people, probably some kind of ambassadors that have some reach and a lot of integrity. but this has to wait until our ODM finishes the next batches of prototypes, so we actually have devices that we can send out.
- 24gttghh 10y agoPlease keep us up to date! This is definitely a "try before you buy" sort of product for myself.
- nmca 10y agoI really, really hope these guys are successful. Want one v. much
- amelius 10y agoThey need to solve the "lag" problem. Then I'll consider buying one.
- sandsmark 10y agothis is actually the problem we have solved (for epaper). Compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKmfyThA9Sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKmfyThA9Sg to https://youtu.be/34I27KPZM6g?t=52 https://youtu.be/34I27KPZM6g?t=52
- davman 10y agoWhile you have certainly made huge and impressive improvements, I still don't think I could call that "solved". I think any latency is still going to put people off when it comes to writing on this vs. paper.
- sandsmark 10y agoour goal for solving it was to get it down to where it wasn't a detriment for the writing and sketching experience. one of the first things we did was gather data and read what research there was on what kind of latency was noticeable and lead to writing feeling "wrong". so we solved our goal, but it's always possible to get better.
- davman 10y agoSo obviously without actually trying one myself I can't say that you are incorrect, but certainly the demo video you provided still has a feeling of wrongness. Its like with animation, we're still stuck in the uncanny valley but you are definitely climbing out of it.
- sandsmark 10y agothis is one of the reasons we need to get this in the hands of some kind of ambassadors that can test for themselves and give us some validation. imho the video doesn't do it much justice.
- saboot 10y agoVery much want one, if it materializes I will feel very jealous of today's college students. This would have been a godsend, I would take notes in class, but organizing them was always a pain. I've lost several class notes I wish I kept. Will hold out until actual products are given to the public, I've seen several pitches for this that haven't materialized. Best of luck though, I will be waiting.
- alimw 10y agoI too struggle (and fail) to keep physical papers organised. But I'm not sure why electronic papers should be any easier? Unless there's some amazing software that can recognise content automatically...
- dagw 10y agoJust tags plus dates would be enough to a very long way to making things much easier to organize. I know I made some notes after that meeting in October and I know I probably tagged the note with something like 'CFD' and/or 'wind'. Show me all the notes that match those criteria and I'll probably recognize the notes I'm looking for in less than a minute.
- FroshKiller 10y agoYou can't grep paper.
- sandsmark 10y agojust to clear up any possible confusion; don't expect text recognition. it's probably the most requested feature, but it's a really, really hard problem. but please send me a message at martin.sandsmark@remarkable.no if anyone have any tips about solutions to this (we're talking with a couple of vendors, but we might have missed some).
- FroshKiller 10y agoYeah, to be clear, I was talking about the advantages of electronic documents over paper in general, not any specific application of this device.
- saboot 10y agoVery much want one, if it materializes I will feel very jealous of today's college students. This would have been a godsend, I would take notes in class, but organizing them was always a pain. I've lost several class notes I wish I kept. Will hold out until actual products are given to the public, I've seen several pitches for this that haven't materialized. Best of luck though, I will be waiting.
- pttrsmrt 10y agoI was sold until this line: "Your thoughts, whether they’re words or sketches, are instantly synced to reMarkable’s cloud service" Imagine for a company only five years back to literally say that your thoughts are sent to their server. I welcome any product that understand we need less distractions and less help from so-called AI, but there are many reasons to be cautious about this one (preorder, latency claim and lack of technical details being some of them). EDIT: After looking a bit more around, their technical claims does seem credible. Their CTO is/was even a developer at KDE, so let's hope they also will support open standards and personal servers. If so then it's literally the device I've always been dreaming of!
- hucker 10y agoBased on my knowledge of the team, I'm almost certain you can opt out of syncing. I'm also going to guess it's rootable.
- sandsmark 10y agothe reason we're a bit scant on technical details so far is partly because we have spent most of our technical resources on actually making the device. but we'll try to get out a more technical blog post soon. another reason is that we can't share too much about what we're working on in case some journalist picks up some wording as promising some feature we can't deliver on. a lot of the stuff we're working on is stuff we don't know if we can deliver in time, in a polished enough form. so what we're talking about is what we have already solved, and which we believe is going to sell the device best to the people we target. lastly, Certain Companies that have tried to do this for years are really, really interested in how we have solved the latency problem, and we don't want to help them. EDIT: > Their CTO is/was even a developer at KDE is, thank you very much (latest commit was to kio on saturday). even if I don't have as much time for KDE stuff as I used to for obvious reasons.
- pttrsmrt 10y agoGreat to hear from you guys directly! I guess we (i.e techie internet folks, you included) have been served so many crowd funded promises that it's difficult to believe things that are too good to be true. Although I'm personally a big advocate of keeping stuff open, I do understand that a small company has to have some secrets for themselves. Now I see you're also a developer at KDE which certainly gives credibility to your statements! But on the same note I truly hope the information from the device will be encrypted on your server, and that an opt-out of this sync will be possible. And if there will be support for Owncloud or the like, you've literally made my dream device! I truly understand and support that you don't promise stuff that aren't really made yet, and I really hope the privacy concerns will be taken as serious as they are.
- jryan49 10y agoI really, really want something like this but I'm too scared to pre-order one until a bunch of reviews come out first.
- michaelmior 10y agoSo was I, but you can apparently cancel up until the shipping date.
- aamederen 10y agoFor me, the keypoint is the haptic feeling. As a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, for me the physical "feeling" of the things I use in daily life is a very important and underrated aspect. Most of the time I find myself switching between my pencil/notebook and google docs. The feel of the pencil on the notebook, the friction, the feeling of pressing on the notebook is a matter of satisfaction which we cannot find on tablets. On the other hand, the flexibility of digital stuff is a must. With iPhone 7, I am satisfied with the haptic feeling of pressing a button. A similar achievement on a surface would be revolutionary.
- rtpg 10y agoFor those who really want a PDF annotator, Sony sells a large mostly-equivalent of this, there's the Sony DPT-S1 https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-DPTS1/?PID=I:digitalpaper:digitalpaperproductpage https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-DPTS1/?PID=I:digitalpa... This is a pro device, costs almost $1000. I don't own one but a friend does... it's very magical looking, and feels nice for the 2 minutes I used it.
- sandsmark 10y agothey've been dumping the price and trying to empty their warehouses, so I'm not sure if you can actually buy it anymore. at least not outside of japan.
- sevensor 10y agoIf your device works well as a PDF annotator, it's going to have a huge market among academics, who right now have a number of very bad solutions to the problem. For me personally, I'm thrilled by the possibility of being able to write unlimited marginalia.
- anexprogrammer 10y agoSad thing is that Sony was meant to be going global in '13. It's probably well overdue a v2 by now! Think they're down to about $700 now. Any on ebay and Amazon are from Japan with no English!! Looked at these a few times hoping they were going on wider release. With Sony out of eBooks, and selling off Vaio, doesn't look promising for a replacement.
- NoGravitas 10y agoI really like the idea. But I don't much care for it syncing to the vendor's cloud server. If it would sync in open file formats to my NextCloud instance, then that's attractive. Also, there's definitely a balance to be struck between lack of distraction and lack of features. It would be a waste for this not to have an epub reader, for example. But while I'd really appreciate having email on it, that's starting to get into distraction territory.
- sandsmark 10y agoabout epub, that's one format we're already committed to supporting. it's listed in the FAQ. we're very careful about not over-promising, that's partly why there aren't more features listed. edit; really besides the point, but saw your nick. our internal name for the prototype (in u-boot and the kernel) is zero-gravitas.
- gizzlon 10y agoepub: Yes, email: No :) https://getremarkable.com/faq https://getremarkable.com/faq
- wheelerwj 10y agoi don't understand why its a steal at almost $400. my tablet does all of this better. except for drawing, which is significantly not as awesome. i also don't know how adding a fourth device simplifies life at all.
- thirdsun 10y agoI think it's a very compelling product if it delivers what it advertises. Unless you're talking about a kindle your tablet most certainly isn't better when it comes to reading which seems to be a significant portion of the product's features - as much as I like my iPad, reading on such a display for long periods of time is a subpar experience.
- Nomentatus 10y agoStay indoors a lot do you? That ain't healthy. http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/ http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/
- wheelerwj 10y agowhat?
- Nomentatus 10y agoWhat part of the URL seemed unclear?
- jsilence 10y agoFor me it is about having one device that focusses one one well defined task and does that well. To minimize destractions. A tablet can do so much that I'd be tempted to do a lot of other things except reading (and scribbling).
- awalGarg 10y agoHi. I am a paper guy too. Until this thing hits the market wide, gets lots of positive reviews and has its costs reduced, does anyone have tips for managing lots of real paper? I feel like some organization tricks could help ease dealing with paper problems. I use paper to sketch out thoughts and draw diagrams, and I don't want unlimited papers. 5 pages a day is enough for me. I wish I could say I read books - I don't. So I only have to manage papers on which I write things and refer to them quickly whenever possible. It works fine, but if someone has tips to help, please share. Thanks.
- titanix2 10y agoFor a long time I tried to come up with systems for paper. Now I switched to a simpler model: my (only) clipboard I used for the project I focus one, eg. writing my master thesis. I also bought two thin soft binders. The green one is for research and ideas highly related to my current research or projects. I put some metadata on some of the sheet themselves or on small papers to remind quickly what a sheet is about. The red one is for other all other ideas. Any sheet not is a binder will likely roam on one of my desks and will be forgotten. This is actually a feature, like survival of the fittest applied to desk environment.
- IanDrake 10y agoLooks really cool. Hope you guys nail it. I'm hoping to see more and more e-ink offerings. For myself, I would like a 50" curved e-ink monitor for work, black and white is fine. I know e-ink has terrible refresh rates, but I'm working with code and consoles 90% of the time. I could put web browsers and other stuff on another monitor.
- singularity2001 10y ago+1000 An 16'' uncurved 20kg e-ink monitor with 100ms latency to work outside and I give you my car.
- computerwizard 10y agoI want this too... It's almost 2017 how do we not have this yet???
- freehunter 10y agoI don't want another monitor, I want a terminal strapped to my face so I can sit wherever I want. Seriously, a small VR system that's just an SSH client would be a pretty massive improvement on my life.
- detaro 10y agovideo glasses connected to a smartphone could get you pretty close, sadly display resolution isn't great. Maybe one could adapt cheap FPV glasses to take a smartphone instead, they don't "waste" pixels on stereo as VR setups do.
- Thimothy 10y agoI find the idea of using the most advanced VR technology for your olde command line terribly funny. All those 80s cyberpunks imagining people actually traveling through cyber-information highways, using them in combination with feedback gloves to browse and actuate on the information in a myriad ways... And we just want a command line. I'd love to go back in time to tell them that this is a major use of VR and see the abject horror in their faces.
- fest 10y agoFew questions to the team: 1) Is the screen latency numbers applicable to full-page updates also? I.e. scrolling a page of text. 2) How decent is the performance when dealing with large PDFs? 3) Is the digitizer pressure sensitive? Does it only work with a stylus? If not, how good is palm rejection?
- sandsmark 10y agowe can't release more technical details than what is on the webpage for now, we're still working on the performance. but to give you a rough idea on where we are on UI responsiveness and loading times, this is what we're using for targets: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-limits/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-... and the digitizer is an EMR digitizer, completely separate from the touch layer. so we don't have to worry about palm rejection. edit; you can see the speed of the zoom in the video, which also needs to re-render the page at a different scale. so that should give you an idea about the speed of page flipping.
- d3ckard 10y agoThis is simply awesome! For a long time I have waited for tablets to actually incorporate the most natural way for making notes and generally working with paper. Not going to preorder (waiting 8 months is kind of too long for me), but probably going to buy just after it comes out.
- shubhamjain 10y agoThis is huge! I don't want to sound contemptuous but to me, paper feels like an inefficient artefact, just waiting to be disrupted by something that can incorporate the few remnant benefits which current range of E-Readers don't cover. I have had Kindle since about an year and I can't imagine ever going to paper books. I can instantly check words, read in the dark, or purchase whenever I like. The only thing I do miss is marking an important passage. If notes, and highlighting work as advertised, will printed books have anything to offer other than aesthetic value?
- anexprogrammer 10y agoI really want this to succeed. I'd love to buy one. There's been quite a few failed attempts. From FAQ > own special operating system Codex / We might however release an unsupported SDK for best developers That's disappointing. I assume "best developers" means corporates. I'd have hoped for a fully open SDK as you're not able to use anything from Android etc. There's probably no end of utilities solo coders would piece together. I'd probably be looking at whether I could make a few apps myself. I'm a little disappointed at no lighting, it's made a big difference to my eReader. No doubt LEDs would add much to cost.
- sandsmark 10y ago"best developers" was a bit tongue in cheek, it was late and I didn't have time to come up with good wording (I'm not a good word person). but what I tried to convey; we know that even _if_ we can release a toolchain, we can't deliver a full, polished SDK. so "best developers" was more about developers that don't need any hand-holding. but again; we can't even promise that we have the time and resources to package up a usable toolchain for third-parties.
- michaelmior 10y agoIs it safe to assume that it will be possible to update the firmware on the device so that some updates will be possible after shipping?
- sandsmark 10y agoof course, one of the nice things with modern hardware is that we can deliver more features after shipping the device. edit; also, it is a device connected to the internet. not supporting updating the firmware would be extremely irresponsible from a security perspective.
- Nomentatus 10y agoBelieve it or not, this is a product that could save an incredible number of lives over time, by allowing us to spend more time outdoors: http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/ http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/
- Tepix 10y agoIt's (partially) replacing paper. You can already take paper outside.
- sandsmark 10y agosssh, it feels good to believe I'm saving the lives of children. :-(
- freehunter 10y agoYeah but paper blows around and is hard to control in non-controlled environments. If I brought a full notepad with me, I'd have to worry about wind and humidity. A plastic device won't be as light as paper, nor as fragile.
- macspoofing 10y agoAlso my notepad hardly ever runs out of batteries.
- Nomentatus 10y agoI got rid of 600 pounds of paper this year in one go. Used bookstores got most of it. Took a couple months. Don't want more, just in case I have to move, if nothing else.
- Tepix 10y agoSo, it looks great but a) does it have a backlight b) can I sync it with my own server instead of some 3rd party cloud service?
- sandsmark 10y agono backlight, and as I explained above we can't promise anything other than what is written on the webpage already wrt. features.
- throwaway98237 10y agothe primary reason i purchased an kobo aura one is the red led back light, so i can read at night without messing with my sleep cycle. it's a killer feature. you'd be wise to consider it.
- sandsmark 10y agowe're far too late in the development process to add to the features of the hardware, but backlight is one of the ideas for a next generation.
- kartoffelmos 10y agoI've tried the prototype device, and I'm very excited that this is finally coming to market! That said, and it might be nitpicky of me, but the choice of micro-USB for charging is a real annoyance. This is a premium device at a premium price point which I'm expecting to keep for many years. USB-C for portable devices is something that I'm considering a must-have at this point. Will probably wait for the first hardware revision.
- sandsmark 10y agothe reasons we decided against usb c are a) the device would have to be thicker, b) our industrial designer didn't like how it would look, and most importantly; c) I still have a hard time finding usb c cables. I always have to bring my own.
- kartoffelmos 10y agoAs for point C: I fully believe that the opposite will be the case in three years time. Just feels a bit... shortsighted. I mean, even Nintendo is going for USB-C in their upcoming device (and even Apple, in their own hamfisted way :P )
- macspoofing 10y agoIn two years they will have micro-USB-C.
- gotrythis 10y agoI've been waiting for this with a microphone as a LiveScribe replacement. That mythical device would never leave my side. Please consider for version 2.
- moron4hire 10y agoWhat is the bottleneck on eInk display refresh rate? Is it a fundamental limitation of the tech, or is the slow refresh rate of devices like the Kindle a power-saving feature?
- Qwertystop 10y agoE-paper (E-Ink is a brand name) works by magnetically moving small black or white particles (suspended in fluid) for each pixel whenever it needs to change. It's a bit like an etch-a-sketch, it's an analog system at the low level. At minimum, the movement takes time. Also, the current state of the pixel affects the charge that needs to be applied for a given target state - that means either taking more time to calculate, getting an afterimage, or doing that whole-screen black-white flicker to clear everything out. Probably all three due to precision limits.
- moron4hire 10y agoI don't know a nice way to say this. Your reply has added nothing to my understanding.
- Qwertystop 10y agoYes, it's a fundamental limitation. Changing colors means moving tiny bits of magnetic dust, and the amount of charge needed is based on where they currently are. This takes more calculation than just running electricity through a light, which can be done regardless of whether or not you were running electricity through it a moment ago. This extra calculation will always take more time, unless the simpler tech reaches a fundamental physical limit like how fast power can be cycled without something melting.
- swayvil 10y agoIs this the NoteSlate guys again?
- Qwertystop 10y agoWhat I would consider the killer features for this, if present (as in, if guaranteed these, I would buy it): - The ability to use it as a drawing tablet for another computer. It's already a perfectly good large touch-sensitive surface meant for drawing, why should I need to buy a second one for Illustrator? - ssh, and some way to connect an external keyboard. E-paper is excellent for a terminal, and this is big enough to be useful. - Some way to use purely as a display, whether by some plug or by X-server broadcasting via SSH or some form of screen-sharing client. Most non-video uses of a computer (if color is not crucial) work just fine on e-paper. - The ability to turn off cloud-sync. Sorry, but I'm not sending you everything I write. For some people that might even go deeper than a personal choice (NDAs, if they work on anything proprietary, depending on how they're phrased). So, basically, the ability to use it for its components and not just the singular agglomeration of them that you envision. I put that above even the ability to write your own software for it. In other words, if ReMarkable has the following, I would have already pre-ordered, even if it's got nothing else: - an e-paper touch display - plus Wi-Fi, USB, HDMI, etc. - the ability to disable automatic cloud sync - with four built-in programs: -- ssh -- drivers-for-use-as-drawing-tablet -- VNC client -- The reader/drawing program demonstrated in the video, for use alone
- strgrd 10y agoWow, the latency looks really bad. You would think that by August 2017 we would be down to sub-frame latency for stylus input. At this point, I would rather use a stylus with a cord if it meant shaving off 10ms. As is, it's just unusable. I know for people that have been in the tablet-input world for a while, 50ms sounds reasonable, but hand this to a kid, and they'll start drawing all over the screen, waiting for the lines to catch up. I'll be interested in this when the latency and DPI can keep up with the pace of natural handwriting.
- drhodes 10y agoWhat if the display sub system organized the screen into partitions and prioritized the redraws based on which partition the input was happening in? If that's where the eye is focused, then maybe any artifact from refresh-neglect in the periphery would go unnoticed.
- Solinoid 10y agofrom the close up this looks like etch-a-sketch magnet technology.
- calimac 10y agoIf I've ever seen a disconnected overpriced hipster brilliant product it's this $716 msrp digital paper tablet! What a joke. these people don't understand the economics of these devices nor do they have the subsidies and distribution leverage of the big players. Kickstarter isn't enough to make this pig fly. Who priced this thing? It is however, a great idea.
- ommunist 10y agoMarker looks like a Pencil. I like the concept. Could be godsend for urban sketching.
- stcredzero 10y agoThis is a lot closer, but still too far off the mark. It's still orders of magnitude inferior in terms of lag, convenience, and reliability, while being orders of magnitude more expensive. Thinking about the iPhone briefly, I think the Steve Jobs formula is to wait until the device can be less than an order of magnitude more expensive, only half as convenient, and about as reliable as the thing it's displacing. I'm also wondering if Microsoft did actually make the right long term decision with regards to its Surface line of hardware.
- refulgentis 10y agoDoes that formula, beyond being about as reliable, apply to the iPhone? It seemed the gate was if it was much more convenient.
- stcredzero 10y agoThe iPhone was much more convenient in a new context: having access to your data in your pocket, all the time. It was a worse cellphone, with regards to charging and call reception. However, it was good enough as a cellphone, and it enabled something else.
- Qwertystop 10y ago> I'm also wondering if Microsoft did actually make the right long term decision with regards to its Surface line of hardware. Which decision would that be?
- shostack 10y agoThis looks amazing. If you don't mind, I have a couple questions... - I know you're not committing to certain things at this time, but can you confirm yet that a subscription fee will NOT be required for full usage? Ie. If I want to store locally or on Dropbox or Google Drive would something like that be possible? I hesitate to preorder without knowing how your full pricing model might be structured. - Is the stylus unique to the device, or will any old stylus work? Also, will it need to be charged separately? - Will there be the possibility of low frame rate animations? I could see that being super useful for diagrams. - Can you share any insights into the current state of eInk technology with regards to color displays? Is it looking like something that might be commercially viable in the next 5 years? 10? - As you acknowledge, this tech will likely be copied pretty quickly. How do you build a business moat around that? Awesome stuff and excited to see how this turns out.
- dantiberian 10y agoCan you talk about the resolution on the device? On the video, it looked to be fairly low, probably lower than the Kindle PaperWhite which I have. I'd be really interested in this for reading PDF's papers and PDF tech books, but only if the text isn't too jaggy.
- peatmoss 10y agoIf I understand the eink tech correctly, large hi-dpi screens will have very poor screen redrawing properties. Something about how the individual "pixels" get toggled in series.
- boznz 10y agoAwesome... But I will wait for them to be shipped and the first reviews to be in before I commit
- akavel 10y agoI understand the pen doesn't attach in any way to the device? Only the Folio does attempt to help keeping them together? The movies don't seem to do a good job of demonstrating the advertised pressure and tilt sensitivity levels; I didn't seem to notice any variation in line width. It would be awesome if you could make Stylus Labs Write (http://www.styluslabs.com/ http://www.styluslabs.com/) work on your device — or at least steal the ideas (esp. text moving) for your writing app.
- jsilence 10y ago+1 for the Styluslab software! Having that on the reMarkable tablet would be a real killer.
- jason_slack 10y agoI am a total paper person. I have notebooks, upon notebooks and still use a paper planner. I could get excited about this once it starts shipping. If you have an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil, I recently started using Nebo (by MyScript) and it is working well for me. Handwriting, multiple notebooks, etc. You must have an Apple Pencil to use the app. For now, none of this will replace my paper, but I am hopeful someday. ReMarkable Team - I'd love to share how I use paper everyday in hopes some of my specifics make it into your product :-)
- JohnvanD 10y agoI was wondering two things about ReMarkable: 1. Is there a possibility that ReMarkable (once bought and the feature becomes available) syncs to e.g. Dropbox 2. How large is the current cloud size and is it free of charge (not just like apple that keeps moaning to sell more quota)
