This seems like a perfect device for the single use of note taking. But something like https://www.boox.com https://www.boox.com would probably make more sense for a lot of people since it can run other Android note taking and e-reader apps.
- kmclean 6y agoI have an onyx boox note 2 and like it quite a bit, but note taking only really works on the built-in app, play store apps that support handwriting input are not responsive enough so it's a very glitchy experience. The stock note taking app is a pleasure to use, at least, and it is nice to be able to install and use a variety of e-book store/reader apps natively.
- minimalist 6y agoI have a Boox Note and its has tragically lousy software. Its stuck on Android Lollipop with an ancient, vulnerable kernel, SELinux disabled by the manufacturer and the device phones home to Chinese servers for just about everything. Handwriting recognition doesnt work without phoning home. Ony,x does not respect the GPL, the bootloader is locked on their devices, and the firmware is obfuscated. I explain it all in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21041543 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21041543 This received some attention in the re--it community last month--the company still does not care [0]. I preordered a remarkable 2. As said by other people: after being abused by all of these conpanies who intentionally lock down the devices that /we purchase/ from them, spying on us and making the devices intentionallu obselescent, remarkable, purism, pine64 have infinite goodwill from me for making devices that you have actual control over.
