Awesome... But I will wait for them to be shipped and the first reviews to be in before I commit

#142I understand the pen doesn't attach in any way to the device? Only the Folio does attempt to help keeping them together?
The movies don't seem to do a good job of demonstrating the advertised pressure and tilt sensitivity levels; I didn't seem to notice any variation in line width.
It would be awesome if you could make Stylus Labs Write (http://www.styluslabs.com/) work on your device — or at least steal the ideas (esp. text moving) for your writing app.

#143Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can't grep paper.
just to clear up any possible confusion; don't expect text recognition. it's probably the most requested feature, but it's a really, really hard problem. but please send me a message at martin.sandsmark@remarkable.no if anyone have any tips about solutions to this (we're talking with a couple of vendors, but we might have missed some).
FroshKiller is right, a good search feature would make this device much more useful.
Regarding that I do have a 'tip' for you. There is no need for an intermediate textual representation. If a sequence of pen strokes is what you have recorded, then a sequence of pen strokes is what you should search by.
For further tips (or an algorithm) I have to charge :)

+1 for the Styluslab software!
Having that on the reMarkable tablet would be a real killer.
Re: ReMarkable Paper Tablet
#145i don't understand why its a steal at almost $400. my tablet does all of this better. except for drawing, which is significantly not as awesome. i also don't know how adding a fourth device simplifies life at all.
For me it is about having one device that focusses one one well defined task and does that well. To minimize destractions. A tablet can do so much that I'd be tempted to do a lot of other things except reading (and scribbling).
Re: ReMarkable Paper Tablet
#146Looks really cool. Hope you guys nail it. I'm hoping to see more and more e-ink offerings. For myself, I would like a 50" curved e-ink monitor for work, black and white is fine. I know e-ink has terrible refresh rates, but I'm working with code and consoles 90% of the time. I could put web browsers and other stuff on another monitor.
I don't want another monitor, I want a terminal strapped to my face so I can sit wherever I want. Seriously, a small VR system that's just an SSH client would be a pretty massive improvement on my life.
I find the idea of using the most advanced VR technology for your olde command line terribly funny. All those 80s cyberpunks imagining people actually traveling through cyber-information highways, using them in combination with feedback gloves to browse and actuate on the information in a myriad ways... And we just want a command line. I'd love to go back in time to tell them that this is a major use of VR and see the abject horror in their faces.
Re: ReMarkable Paper Tablet
#147Can you talk about the resolution on the device? On the video, it looked to be fairly low, probably lower than the Kindle PaperWhite which I have. I'd be really interested in this for reading PDF's papers and PDF tech books, but only if the text isn't too jaggy.
If I understand the eink tech correctly, large hi-dpi screens will have very poor screen redrawing properties. Something about how the individual "pixels" get toggled in series.
Re: ReMarkable Paper Tablet
#148I am a total paper person. I have notebooks, upon notebooks and still use a paper planner. I could get excited about this once it starts shipping.
If you have an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil, I recently started using Nebo (by MyScript) and it is working well for me. Handwriting, multiple notebooks, etc. You must have an Apple Pencil to use the app.
For now, none of this will replace my paper, but I am hopeful someday.
ReMarkable Team - I'd love to share how I use paper everyday in hopes some of my specifics make it into your product :-)
Re: ReMarkable Paper Tablet
#149I was wondering two things about ReMarkable:
1. Is there a possibility that ReMarkable (once bought and the feature becomes available) syncs to e.g. Dropbox
2. How large is the current cloud size and is it free of charge (not just like apple that keeps moaning to sell more quota)

Stay indoors a lot do you? That ain't healthy. http://sunlightinstitute.org/research-studies/
