Asus Ea800 retell

Asus Eee Note Ea800 is an 8-inch grayscale tablet that is designed chiefly for one often-ignored task: note-taking. There have been myriad of tablets so far such as Galaxy Tab or iPad, but since they do not use a stylus, the writing and drawing touch is often regarded as finicky.

The Eee Note is a staggeringly well-built gismo and weighs-in at just one pound. My container came with a bi-fold carrying case which does an fantastic job in protecting the slate's screen. You will find a multitude of buttons below the display, all of which is touch-sensitive buttons. Bottom row of buttons has home, back arrow and transmit arrow button.
Ports

On the top of the device, the stylus rests in the silo and at the bottom, you will find a power button, microSd card slot, headphone port, microUsb port and reset button. You can charge the gismo straight through the microUsb cable.

Screen

The Ea800 comes outfitted with an 8-inch display that packs 1024x768 pixels. The display has good viewing angles and nothing appears washed out from any perspective. Given the fact that the slate has high ppi display, the text looks very sharp. However, since the display is not backlight, you cannot adjust the brightness levels.

The screen is very responsive and accurate. After all, it is being marketed as a note-taking device.

Os, Applications

It runs on a ownership Os that consists of a main screen with 14 icons and a status bar at the top. Multitasking is supported, but to a little extent. An example: I was able to description audio and then return to the main screen. The recording continues in the background. But, I do wish for full, allowable multitasking. For text input, you can use the Sip (soft input panel) that automatically appears whenever you tap on a text-field. The display does not accepts finger input, so tapping the display would not trigger any action.

The main app is the "note taking app". It sports a minimalistic construct and I loved it. You tap on the "new note" icon to originate a new note. I was able to find that you can save the notes to Sd card as well which is great for salvage space. You can also insert pictures into the notes.

Second most important app is the "Audio recording app". This app is called "voice memo" on the gismo and is of course very well designed. I found its audio recording capabilities to be pretty poor and I don't think I would be using it as a customary audio recording device.

Other apps included are calculator, dictionary, text memo and an eReader.

Battery Life

The unit comes adequate with a 3700mAh battery that is stated to give you 10 hours of runtime on a single charge (with Wi-Fi on). I was able to use it for 6 days with moderate usage that complex an hour of note taking everyday. In short, the Ea800 of course shines in the battery life department.
What should be added to time to come generations

I found the audio recording capabilities to be very poor. The main reason behind this is the positioning of the mic which is inside the silo (where the stylus resides). Second thing is the lack of Ocr software. Since it packs a camera, I strongly feel that it should have been included. Also a Pc / Mac software for converting the user's handwriting to text should are missing. Thirdly, the files as recorded as ".arm" files which were not playable on my Windows Pc.

Also, the unit could make use of the Wi-Fi radio for wireless syncing. The syncing software does not support it. So, will I advise you to buy it? Well, my retort is no. Wait for the next-generation of these note-taking tablets.
