A Day With The Galaxy Note II
- hnriot 14y agoI didn't see much of any work getting done throughout the day.
- hkarthik 14y agoI was hoping this guy got vim/tmux and a decent linux package manager working with his phone so he could program with it. Instead it's about how he's using a mobile keyboard and wordpress mobile. Why is this on the front page?
- ommunist 14y agoNice piece. I experimented once with the same aim with the iPad. Found it useful with Prompt.app as terminal, iWriter for texts, and Textastic for code. But no decent ftp and S3 client. Also being addicted to normal size keys, I still find typing on large desktop keyboard more comfy (disclaimer - I use Kinesis since I am sick with RSI).
- eliben 14y agoIs your job really posting in the blog and reading BBC news? I feel for you. Hacking is so much more fun ;-)
- cmbaus 14y agoI couldn't do my job on a Galaxy Note. I purchased one after they were released in the US, and was jeered about its size (and asked many times if it was a new Apple device). But having used it for a year, I've found a great device and form factor. The high resolution screen changes how you think about reading on a device. It is unfortunate the resolution is lower in the latest version.
- ChikkaChiChi 14y agoI have the GN2 and I can say that the answer for hackers is: almost. The Note 2 has an amazing dock that has HDMI and USB which means it can effectively interface with a full size KVM. Unfortunately, you're still running Android and its 1 (or 2) window manager. If you are rooted, fire up yourself an SSH client and hack away. I do think this is the future. When you dock, you'll have the option of "Car/Handsfree Mode" or "Desktop Mode"; One will be more simplified and tied to your voice commands, the other I predict will be what we now see as Chrome OS.
