I initially purchased the Note because of the S Pen feature which I thought was neat as I wanted to make notes on my etextbook/ebooks/pdf...etc.
Apparently you can only make notes with certain apps. I.e..you can't buy a ebook of any kind on kindle/Nook and start making marks on it with the S pen as you read. You can get a "text" on Kno and make notes on that tho. However, the Kno app is limited (and geared towards college crowd IMO) but it does allow you to make notes on the textbooks. The etexts I use are not on the Kno app..so pretty useless for me.
Also, the multscreen feature doesn't work with MOST apps..only a few. You can't choose to be on Netflix and FB at the same time.
I've seen many demos on this gadget and NO one mentioned these facts. I think these are two important caveats to the much talked about features on these devices.
I am returning the Note for the regular galaxy tab 10.1..I can't justify the increase in cost (Note 10.1 vs Tablet 10.1) for features I have little use for. Otherwise the other features work as expected.
Excellent device with multitasking support. Very good for taking and sharing ideas and notes. Last 2 years used 5 different tablets, this one is by more the best
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, handwriting support, great customer support
Cons: a bit pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am very bias, I love Samsung Products. The Note !0.1 is no wimpy tablet. It has enough power to perform all the things a great tablet should. If your looking for a muti-tasking, very responsive and build great then you need to get this tablet. If you have no need for the great features the S Pen offers your not going to be disappointed. The screen does let you down a bit but that's nothing to me. If you love Samsung products you will love the Note 10.1.
Great tablet, new to the andriod tablets after having a different tablet and i love it .
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display

This is one of the best android devices ive had. Most tablets have a lot of lag and not many features. The not is full of features and the included S pen lets you take notes and do many other things.
