Note Taking App + Word processor for Galaxy Note 10.1?

When I bought the galaxy note, it came with the promise of S Note, which seemed like a perfect mix of One Note (being able to place text anywhere), and the pen-to-text option (..you could write, draw and use formulas seemlessly and it would turn into text/shapes. It was perfect)

However, Samsung decided to take a shit on S Note and now it is less useable than before.

Is there an app which lets you write text with the keyboard and place it ANYWHERE seamlessly, like one note does on pc? Is there an app that does this with seamless pen integration? Is there an app that does these two, AND can use styles as well (this last one isn't two important, but I would like it)?

bonus: can this app export it to anything other than PNG or PDF?

Tablet in a car, question inside! [X-post from /r/androidapps]

Hello! I posted this in android apps but figured this is tablet specific so I might be able to get help here.

I want to start by saying, I have absolutely no experience at creating apps and no experience at coding. This is purely to ask a "what if" question so I can find out if what I am about to propose is possible.

My question is inspired by this video made by Mighty Car Mods. To sum up the video, they put an iPad into the dash of a car as a replacement for the stereo. In doing so they have to cut away the dash and make a custom mount for the air conditioner. I realise this is the android apps subreddit but I figured I'd ask here because you can also put an android based tablet in the dash which is what I'd prefer.

Now, to my question! Would it be possible to create an app that can work as a head unit and control music and to also run the air conditioner controls? If you had a digital air conditioner unit I feel it might be possible.

I figure this question might sound crazy but I just want to know if it would work. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

[NewsReader] HackerNews HD/HD+ for tablets by SL2V Mobile

A new entry in Android's growing set of offerings to enjoy Hacker News, HackerNews HD for tablets (free, paid) looks like a winner.

Tablet users of the popular Reddit News app will find a familiar interface: Landscape mode offers left hand navigation of the news feed. Selected stories will render on the right in an independently scrollable pane. Portrait mode switches between the two panes to preserve horizontal real estate.

  • The app header provides easy tabbed access to the "Front Page", "New" and "Ask HN" sections of the site on the left. The right side of the header offers tabs to switch between the linked content and comments.

  • A home button and back/forward buttons provide basic navigation controls so you can drill down links in the reading pane and easily return.

  • The increasingly ubiquitous Share constellation allows you to share using any app on your device that supports it, though the app does have the bad habit of including a link to itself on the Play Store when you do so.

  • The menu gives you access to a toggle to change the default view mode to the linked article or the comments, though it's a bit awkward. You can also open the link in your browser of choice, view the "help" and "about" pages, or exit the app.

  • The paid version adds the ability to sort the feed by points from the menu, see the "what's new" page and adds a settings screen where you can toggle the link to be shared to be either the linked article or the comments. It however, still includes the slightly spammy link to the play store for the app. Though not mentioned on either of the store pages, portrait mode seems to only be available in the paid version. I'm not sure whether this was intentional, or a bug in the free version.

Conspicuously missing from either version is an integrated way to log in to post articles, comments or vote. This is a young app (2 months as of today) and it's obvious that a lot of work has gone into making it and really giving it some polish. HN's utter lack of an API doesn't help in this regard either, though other intrepid app writers seem to have figured it out.

All the same, the reading pane gives you the full site when you ask for comments, and you can log in from there and submit comments, or even drill back to the HN home page proper and submit or vote from there, it would be simpler to submit an article directly from your browsing app.

The verdict: (4/5)

Great polish, perfect for lurkers, falls slightly short of providing the full experience, though I expect that in time, the missing features will trickle in. Try the free version first, the paid version doesn't offer a whole lot more yet but at US$1.04 at the time of writing, it's not a bad deal either.
