If you are expecting a nice note taking app, the new knote will meet most of your needs.
If you are expecting smooth note taking in 3rd-party apps, return your device. Unless Onyx gets permission, they won't touch a single code in any 3rd-party app.
As far as I know, after they release the new knote, they are going to optimize note taking experience in Neo2.
As an E ink (13.3) user, I have to say I have no other choice other than Onyx. Sony? NO! Even though I DO want a lighter device. It's a very small market, not many users, no sufficient competition. E ink users don't have many choices as smart phone users. Apple, Samsung, Huawei, etc. |
My expectations are
those abilities advertised for the Max 2 - the ability to take and manage notes and to read and to a limited extent annotate/edit PDF documents - no more-no less.
As I said in my earlier posts I have a 'full-blown' laptop for web browsing, image editing, video viewing/editing etc. I did not buy the Max 2 to use as a fully-fledged tablet - but as an e-paper note-taking device.
I have mountains of notes that I make every day during work in my small lab, and the e-paper devices as advertised seemed to satisfy my criteria, which I consider to be few, rather well.
As for
the new note being the device to offer me a nice note-taking experience I'm afraid I've already spent £700 on my 'new Max 2'.
I can't afford to chase every new device produced by Onyx, with it's ever-attendant promise/s of improved performance to more closely match those capabilities expected of previously bought devices.
I don't have the finances, time or desire to become a collector of 'not quite right' Onyx devices. I rather naively it would now seem, bought my Max 2 with the expectation that it would be a device that would give me the "nice note taking app" as promised....
