Thanks Kevin. That's remarkable that you've been able to make the jump from paper to UMPC/One Note. And very encouraging for those of us that want to do the same. There is even a new copier at my office that allows me to scan my paper notes and email them to myself. Everything digital gets closer and closer.

The camera angle is also very interesting, and I'll probably have to look into that even with my desktop. I know that ScanR service does something like that, but it was cumbersome to do the emailing of a picture, so I never really adopted it in my workflow. To get it into OneNote is even more interesting, and is a nice tie from the smartphone to UMPC.

Of course, the Q1 Ultra has a camera built in (although reports of picture quality haven't been spectacular), so maybe it can be used for business cards. If Samsung was smart, they would provide software and make it part of the product feature set!
