I own a Samsung Galaxy S II which has a 4.3 inch display. Sure its vivid, fast and responsive, but sometimes i wish the screen was slightly bigger so that i can reduce on scrolling/zooming and yet small enough to fit into my pants pocket. Thats where Samsung Galaxy Note comes into the picture. Its a new category of product developed through Samsung’s deep consumer understanding and insight which integrates core on-the-go benefits of various mobile devices while maintaining smartphone portability, to create a whole new user experience. The much hyped new smartphone combines market’s largest HD Super AMOLED display, supreme portability and advanced S Pen interface. The S Pen combined with the Galaxy Note’s full touch screen enables users to freely capture and create ideas while on the go, just like the artistic freedom of a paper notebook. Pictures, voice recordings, typed text, handwritten notes or drawings can all be captured via a single application and converted to a ‘memo’, to be edited, annotated and shared as desired.

I am not even sure to label it as a super large smartphone or a mini tablet, but it definitely fits nicely to cater a segment of customers who want the optimal balace between smartphone portability and immersive table like viewing experience. Measuring just 9.65mm thin, the GALAXY Note fits comfortably in a pocket to offer true portability. The Galaxy Note has an unconventional display size of 5.3 inch, with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The expansive high-resolution screen provides vivid clarity that is superior to conventional HD displays and an immersive viewing experience. This ensures the best viewing experience for video, photo, document and web on the go with deep blacks and bright colors. The superior screen also offers 180 degree viewing angle, allowing contents to be shared comfortably with more people.

Under the hood, its powered by a 1.4GHz dual core Samsung Exynos processor and 1GB or RAM which ensures the device is incredibly fast and a smooth user interface. Blazing fast network speeds are enabled through the HSPA+ and LTE-enabled device’s super-fast connection, ensuring a quick and seamless browsing experience. Similar like the Galaxy S II, it boasts a 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash capable of 1080p video recording and 2 megapixel camera at the front for video calls. Just like other high end smartphones, the Galaxy Note comes with accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor and a barometer. Shipped with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it comes with Samsung’s custom Android skin known as TouchWiz. In the nutshell, Galaxy Note’s huge is could be its biggest asset and its biggest setback. If you can withstand its gigantic size, the Note is one of the more powerful and flexible Android smartphones out there.

There are many brands of USB flash drives in the market now, Imation, Transcend, SanDisk, Apacer, Kingston just to name a few. Currently, I have seen USB flash drives ranging from 256MB to 48GB, but the storage capacity always increases and the price drops once there is a newer model available. Thanks to its small size, I bring my USB flash drive with me all the time because it has all my precious photos, videos and documents and i just have to plug in to any device with USB ports such as laptops, PCs and even DVD players to view them. For those with creative touch, you may fancy having USB flash drive with quirky designs to impress your family members and friends. Here’s some of the quirkiest USB flash drives that i have seen.
