indeed. I fancy myself as a 'creative' person that can use the Note to its fullest lol. I also imagine I will jot notes on it when in reality doing so in an actual notebook is faster and less stressful

I am also getting tired of people claiming that Apple is innovative. They do things better than many of their competitors, especially with respect to marketing, and to a lesser degree with product development. Yet I would be hard pressed to call putting components from other vendors, for their intended purposes, innovative. Even the designs aren't terribly innovative. Most of the software UI elements have existed for decades or were implemented ad hoc. Things like case designs have more to do with trends and constraints placed by engineering considerations than anything else.

That's the magic of marketing
