If you want a stylus-friendly tablet, and can overlook a few small shortcomings, you'll feel right at home with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Pricing for the Note 10.1 is a bit high when compared to a Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire, but it's in-line with what we've come to expect from the latest and greatest 10-inch tablets. Samsung, take a look at the old Newton MessagePad and see what they did with their stylus, then "improve" upon it. Unfortunately, stylus-friendly apps aren't quite where they need to be - not even those included with the tablet itself. The S-Pen is a novel addition that we really enjoy. Odd names aside, in everyday use, the Galaxy Note 10.1 does what you need it to do, is fast enough to not get in your way, and provides a lot of storage space and expandability. It would make more sense to us if the smaller tablets were "Notes" and the larger were "Tabs", perhaps that's just crazy talk. A 7.7' tablet is a Galaxy "Tab", but a 10.1' tablet could either be a "Tab" or a "Note". The top edge of the Note 10. We're a bit perplexed regarding Samsung's naming conventions. The bottom edge of the Galaxy Note 10.1 features only the proprietary 30-pin dock connector and microphone. It's consistent in its inconsistency, but it would have been nice if Samsung could have tied the button's behavior to the tablet's orientation, and adjusted the behavior accordingly. That sounds logical, until you rotate into portrait, then up is down and down is up. These directions match the on-screen volume control.
How? When in landscape mode, pressing the volume rocker to the right will turn the volume up, to the left will lower the volume. Have you ever noticed that the volume rocker on most phones and tablets works the way you'd expect it to in portrait, but seems backward from the on-screen volume indicator when rotated into landscape? So did Samsung, so they changed it. Yes, folks, IR seems to be making a comeback.
There you'll find the power button, the volume rocker (which is a bit unusual, but we'll get to that in a minute), the microsd card slot, headphone jack, and IR port. Power, inverted volume-rocker, microsd slot, headphone jack, and yes, that is an IR port
