The 5.3-inch Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 come in shapes that make them hard to classify. Is the Note a phone? Or a notepad? Or a tablet? Genius, right? Or, uh, foolish?
The Galaxy Note is the more unusual choice of the two. With a 5.3-inch screen, it's kind of in a weird no-man's land, size wise. But hey, it's a phone, too! Who has pockets big enough for a 5.3 inch screen? MC Hammer, sure, but who else? As Dell can tell you, after their failed Streak 5 experiment, pretty much nobody.

Feb. 16, 2012 Walt Mossberg tests the Samsung Galaxy Note, a phone-tablet hybrid with a large screen that uses a stylus as well as your fingers.
I’m not saying these devices are good things, or bad things. They’re just things, and we always need more things.
Tell that to all of us who liked the stylus on the Palm devices. Tell that to all the kids playing on their Nintendo DS.
I bet that dork has never owned or used any computational device not made by Apple.
I bet he wishes he could have iToaster, iFridge, iStove, and iCar.
He is different....seems to do the WSJ Video Reports however.
I have a stylus for my Kindle. I really like it (the Kindle, that is).
As little as I use the phone, it could work. What is this “writing” they mention?
Mobile Device That's Better for a Jotter Than a Talker

PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY FEBRUARY 16, 2012
Lots of folks carry a smartphone, and, at least some of the time, tote a second mobile device—an iPad or other tablet. But some people might prefer a product that combines the two. Similarly, many have come to love the finger-controlled interface popularized by Apple, but might prefer at times to use a stylus, a common tool in the pre-iPhone days.
Samsung is hoping to offer all of the above. On Sunday, it's introducing to the U.S. a phone-tablet hybrid with a large 5.3-inch screen that uses a stylus as well as your fingers. It's called the Galaxy Note and costs $300 with a two-year AT&T contract.
It's a way of visually recording verbal communication without using a keyboard or simulacrum thereof.
Certain modern mental cripples are unable to do it; they are utterly dependent upon the crutch of a keyboard. I pity them.
So how did you input that bit of drivel?
I want a stylus. I like to draw with a pen, not my fingers.
Which kindle ...and how do you use the styluss?
Learn to read. Learn to think.
Until you can demonstrate the ability to read, and to comprehend what you have read, and to logically process what you have comprehended, you will remain unfit to participate in an adult discussion forum.
Good Day.
My husband got me a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I really love it. I like it better than my daughter’s IPad.
I'm ticked off by those people who require modern implements such as pen, ink, and paper to communicate with their fellow humans.
The only true communication is via the human voice in sonorous prose, and captivating lyric. Stories told and retold across centuries without change because of the incorruptible memories of the gallant storytellers that protect them from the ravages of time.
I suspect that you're being sarcastic.
However ... I think there's more truth to your remark than you realize.
There's value in committing classics of literature, oratory, and song to human memory; value which is much greater than only committing them to paper or to digital storage.
It’s the Kindle Fire.
I use it for pretty much everything. It seems much faster than my fingers.
I like the Fire. I haven’t missed my laptop at all. Don’t think I’ll replace it.
