Tech bytes for tea?

The GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition (32GB) will be available in Classic White from October 19, 2013 while the Jet Black version will be available from October 26.

Both colours will be available with the LTE version (S$998) and the Wi-Fi only version (S$798). Prices exclude line contract.

The new GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition was unveiled worldwide together with the GALAXY Note 3 phablet and GALAXY Gear smart watch at Times Square in New York on 4 September.

Here’s the livecast of the global event.

The GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition builds on the productivity and creativity features offered by the original Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1.

The 10.1-inch Android tablet runs on the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and has been physically redesigned with a sleek, light, slim frame, with a soft and textured touch-back cover with delicate stitching.

The 2014 Edition has four times the pixel density of the original GALAXY Note 10.1, with a magazine style user interface that allows users to organise their favourite content in an easy-to-use dashboard.

With Enhanced Multi Window, users will be able to run separate instances of the same application, and use an enhanced S Pen to drag-&-drop content from one window to another conveniently.

Pen Window enables users to simply draw a window on the screen, and instantly access another application window such as YouTube, calculator or Browser without pausing current activity on the screen.

The enhanced S Pen included with GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition improves responsiveness, delivers day-to-day efficiency enhancements and produces more creative input capabilities.

The tablet also includes GALAXY Note 3’s new S Pen features which are Air Command, Action Memo, Scrapbooker, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window.

Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note, and automatically execute a function or convert that handwritten information into formatted content.

Action Memo can instantly initiate a call, add to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to a to-do list, and more.

With the new Scrapbook feature, users can easily select any interesting content with the S Pen and organise it into individualised scrapbooks, creating a log of discussion points for a future work conversation, a wish list for new clothes or a home redesign project, or a personal favourites list.

S Note has been upgraded with a more intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Users will have the ability to use the S Pen to take handwritten notes.

With Easy Chart, you can create formal charts and graphs easily within the new S Note.

The new S Note can also be synced with Evernote or a Samsung account and be enabled for accessing and viewing from different devices.

The GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition comes with Samsung KNOX which provides enhanced privacy and security solution for consumers and enterprise users, making it suitable for BYOD users who bring and use their personal devices for work.
