How long does the battery last you and is it good for note taking? Does the palm detection work well? Thanks

There is two defects. One is the touch pad has a little problem. In the middle of the screen, the touch action doesn't make sence(About 1/2"*1/2"). The other is the Power-On Hours Count of the hard disk is too long. More than 3000h. The battery is ok. I can use it more than 6 hours.

Youtube and Netflix work fine, in fact, the screen is GREAT for Netflix. I don't use tontonI'd say the battery lasts a full day with moderate use. The screen is normally not extremely bright so I tend to keep the brightness up. After a few weeks, the battery started to only make it on 6-8 hours with moderate use. If you get a good battery saver/task manager app and you're relatively tech savvy you can get quite a lot more mileage out of it. It's a great little media player but I needed a tablet for work, unfortunately

the palm rejection worked great for me.no problem there. as for the PDF files, i didn't even really get into that. the buttons on the pen were simply undo and redo shortcuts in the app i used. i used the pen for about 10 minutes and didn't like it simply because the lines would not come out straight. not good for tedious work. hope this helps

I use it on Bluetooth, which uses more battery. I am a writer (maybe only in my own mind), but I write about 1500 words every day. The battery lasts through 3-4 hours of continuous use, and then I just plug it into the charger on my desk, and continue on, tethered to the wire for a couple of hours. It is amazingly light, and amazingly accurate. I have used many headsets. This is the best, hands down!

Mine lasted just over two years, Used it constantly but it completely died. Went to buy a replacement twice and they were both bad. Salesman told me the new PALMS are JUNK and said to get a PALM CENTRO smartphone which does the same and is combined with a phone. Got good reviews from CU and CNET, Will be getting one this week. Am totally dependent on this pda

The track pad does not have buttons. You tap for a "click." The touch sensitivity is very good and has multi-finger gestures. It is on par with my MacBook Pro's touchpad and works the same.The context click, right click, is done by pressing in the lower right corner until you hear it click.The battery is consistently lasting 8+ hours for me.

The battery life is good. I have used it to take videos as well as pictures and the battery lasts. The only time I have charged it is when I plug it in to transfer pics to my computer. Otherwise I can get 2 to 3 days of using it a lot and the battery life is great.

Yes the microphone is good. You can use it with Skype, Voxer, Robin, and many other apps that require a microphone. I see that someone talked about the battery life. Well, in my opinion it has a good battery life. I charge it at night, and I take to class. I look at my presentations, navigate on the web, play games, use facebook and twitter, and the battery lasts me the whole day. It lasts me around 7 hours using continuously (non-stop)

Overall the battery life is good. For a heavy user like me it lasts for 2.5 to 3.5hrs. its good. the only drawback is it has a inbuilt battery. which means its not user replaceable.

I've been using it for taking class notes on an iPad and iPad mini for about a year and a half, and it's my favorite stylus. I liked using the Adonit Jot about the same when I tried it for a couple months, but the clicking annoyed me and it scratched my screen, so it was back to the Maglus for me. It's very accurate and responsive, and I've never had problems with having to hold it at any particular angle. Everyone likes different types of stylus, but for me this one is perfect for taking notes.

It seems to me this does last a little longer than the stock one - about 5-10%. the stock battery in my T-Mo note is pretty good - one of the best stock/oem batts I've had. Generally the Note gets good batt life unless you're running jelly bean without fine-tuning

Similar to the other answer, the grip is fantastic and works well. The additional battery life you get will only depend on what battery you use, and the multiply it by two.

The Tungsten series were the last of the PDA's with Tungsten E being the first and TX being the last. On smart-phones, the Treo 650 was the last to have the Palm operating system. The Treo 700 and later having the window os which IMO was more confusing. My wife and I both use the Tungsten E2 (enough upgrade over the E to make it very worthwhile and definitely a huge upgrade over the Zire 150) and we have never had a problem. Also, don't disregard the used ones on Amazon (some as low as 15 dollars), we have always had good luck on the used ones, just make sure that you at least get one with a stylus, usb charging cable, and good battery. Good luck

Yes. There are some writing programs that try to notice and ignore palm marks, but in my experience they aren't very successful. Adonit (and others) does make Bluetooth pens that I believe allow you to avoid such marks though.

You can take notes on it, but you can't scroll back to previously saved pages. You need to send them to your phone via blue tooth or connect to a compuer with usb. I'm more apt to use it in a situation when using a computer/laptop isn't as feasible. I work in the field and take notes, then go back to the office to print out or read them. I can't easily use a laptop, nor will my work pay for a tablet type device.

You can use a capacitive stylus. I've used the Musemee Notier V2 which allows you to take handwritten notes but it does not have palm rejection so you either need a smudge guard type glove or some kind of material (2"x2" felt square) under your hand.

Mine lasts a bit longer, but it suspect it's related to how much mousing you do. I read, click mostly with not much scrolling. Mine isn't active as often with the work I do with it. I actually find it a bit hard to invoke the scroll function and usually use laptop pad for any scrolling. ☺️
