If you happen to know any further android pen-tablets let us know!
If you own one of the listed devices: go to our play store page and download the 14-day free trial of Mind-Objects Think Visual. It is the best support for visual thinking you can get: capture, structure and share your thoughts effortless – with no space restrictions!
Using the software is as intuitive as using pen and paper, with the advantage, that information can be restructured easy and be broadcasted via a projector. This saves time, enables better results and helps collaboration in meetings.
Mind-Objects Think Visual runs on any pen-enabled Android tablet (if you have a device without native pen support you can use Mind-Objects ThinkVisual Touch instead).
Having a Windows or iOS device? Stay updated – get the news when your favorite device is supported and subscribe to our mailing list: http://www.mind-objects.com/platform-request/
Why did we choose these devices for Mind-Objects?
- The above devices can recognize the difference between stylus and finger (which gives us the chance to deliver a great workflow with high productivity)
- In contrast to normal tablets, using the pen/stylus on these devices feels very similar to using a normal pen on paper (great for people using a tablet for the first time)
If you have any questions regarding the above devices or where to buy them – write us in the comments or .
Hello, you can not imagine, how much I like this post. Found it on http://www.notebookcheck.com.
I am currently not decided whether to buy
– a mix of an ebook reader (waiting for the newer ink cart readers with 10 inch) and a bamboo slat
– a Galaxy Tab S3 (to be released next month)
– a Lenovo yoga book
this page, dear sir, has been bookmarked!
Thank you very much for the comment! I can’t say too much about ebook readers, didn’t try them yet. Currently I think the best combo is: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) in combination with Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2 – of course using Mind-Objects. But I do think that the new Galaxy Tab S3 may be my new hero for productive use (e.g. in Brainstormings, Meetings, or just when I develop strategies..).
Regarding the Lenovo yoga book: I decided not to include it in the list, because you can’t write directly on the screen using the pen. This indirect sketching does not feel nearly as natural as the direct method.
What do you want to use your planned device for?
Hi,
thank you for your response.

i think you can. check out: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3130751/hardware/lenovo-yoga-book-review-unique-touch-features-let-you-be-hands-on-creative.html

“What do you want to use your planned device for?”
I like to work and study with mobile devices, but still like the feel of pen and paper. Librarys usually do not have recent versions of the books i intent to work with and I do not want to fill my home with tons of paper books. thats why i prefer digital versions of texts.
Book describes a solution of a task, like: Calculating the complexity of a function call
Stuff that I do not see or understand in one simple go (or fear I did not understand too its full extend), I like to sit down and work with a pen and a surface to write on, to check my calculations. Thats why I would like a tablet with pen input for.
Most promising would be the remarkable. If it stays true to its promises, that is. I usually use pdf books and most ebook devices feel clumsy when switching pages and the like. The remarkable promises to be ebook reader and sketch pad in one place. That would be awesome. But I fear it will fall short of my expectations.
Thanks for the link! In this case I will have a look at the yoga book and include it in the list soon.
The remarkable looks interesting indeed. I am curious what comes out of it.
