Genius G-Note 7000
Evolution of the IT industry has offered mankind many wonderful products, which have made his/her life easy and organized. One of the wonderful gifts is G-Note 700, a USB tablet, which is a little bigger than A4 paper. Now forget about carrying a notebook and a pen with you; rather replace these with a G-Note. You need to carry or arrange some blank sheets only.
G-Note 7000 using four AAA batteries in the pad and another in the pen, you can walk around freely writing on a normal paper pad using the G-Note as a clipboard. That would not be much of a trick, unless, as it does, the G-
Note records the writing and sketches you make digitally inside the pad on 32MB of flash memory. It allows you to download them to the PC next time you connect. Genius says that it is enough for 100 pages, but you can increase that by using an SD flash card slot they have also provided.
A small LCD display down the left-hand side of the unit keeps you informed about battery power, page number and folder selection. New pages or folders (26 possible A-Z) can be made with five keys, and pages can be deleted. The only thing you can’t do is see what’s on them.
To do that, you need to attach the PC and import the files stored in memory, or on the SD flash, into the PC using some special applications they have created that allow you to annotate your doodles and then incorporate them into other office applications or e-mail them as attachments. This was not the bit I liked most, as by just storing them as JPG files on the flash they could have made the system more flexible, and less dependent on the bundled apps.
The product packages with it the digital note and cordless pen, A4 paper notepad x 1, backup pen tips x 4 (two ink tips and two tablet tips), AAA batteries x 5 (4 for the digital note and 1 for the pen), USB cable x 1, Quick installation guide, CD includes, PC driver, electronic user’s manual, G-Note Editor, Power Presenter RE, Free Notes, Office Ink and the Photo Impact XL SE.
The system requirements for this device are, IBM-compatible PC with Pentium processor or faster, available USB port, Windows XP/2000, at least 32 MB hard disk space, and 128 MB of RAM, CD/DVD-ROM drive for software installation.
Being Genius the G-Note is not made to be thrown around like a real clipboard, but then it is a bit more useful in the right hands.
