I must say, I rather like the pen on my Flyer better than using a finger or keyboard... Not for longer texts (I prefer a keyboard there), but for simply jotting down an address or a small note, I prefer the pen.
I'm even thinking about making a shopping list on my HTC (we do our grocery shopping weekly, and most of the list is repetitive every week) and using my pen to strike through what I already got in my cart (did that once, worked perfectly!) |

I had a palm and then a hp many years. Very nice. Don't seem to make them anymore. Want you to buy a smartphone and pay over a $100 a month for it.

I wish more tablets had both. The pen is much more accurate. Heck, even the resistive touchscreen on my Pocket Edge is more accurate (requires less area to activate) but isn't multi-touch. |

Actually, those list apps don't need the pen to cross them out. Usually a single touch marks them done (in the cart etc.) in some visual way. The best features of the list apps IMO are:
multiple lists: I can have a list per store, or even inrelated lists (ie. vaction packing lists), all in the same app so I know where they are. (I lose paper lists, memos, reminders, sticky notes etc. They fall behind me like snowflakes ) Recurring list items: the list apps keep a database of what's been entered before. I can pick items off a list, rather than re-entering. Notes can be attached to items: Very important when picking up items for some-one else. Makes the description in the list much smaller, but can be called up when you are at the store and presented with a huge display of similar products with different names, sizes, colours, scents etc. |

And I why I want to use my pen? Because I don't like the keyboard for quick note-taking. Which is when I want to add a non-recurring item on the list. And also, I want the whole list visible without having to swipe... And lastly, I want control on how I organize my list. I have it organized by day, not by product or location in a store (we go to two different ones, depending on what we need that week). (I just started a christmas-list! I always think of these great presents but by the time I'm ready to buy them, I will have forgotten them ) |

Easy
Start with a 7" device, in portrait mode. Create two columns... (in my case, requires a lot of spaces as there appears to be no tab character!) And voila! One page per list Quote:
Naturally, the notepad app on my Flyer is much better than any notepad app I had on my PDA... |
