I wonder, how might they reduce the cost of these? It’s a cool concept, and I can understand some of the cost, but when your alternatives (simple pen & paper or marker & dry erase board) are substantially cheaper it makes this a harder sell.
The cool thing about the remarkable is that it is a ln actual computer running Linux. You can do a lot more than just write notes. You can write freely and run OCR, sync with your other devices via syncthing, etc. The one thing it needs is a bigger ecosystem of application developers. E.g, I’d love to see an actual collaborative board like Miro integrated with this, so that everyone could draw/write directly on their tablet and see changes from others in real-time.
One of my coworkers has one of these or something similar, and it seems to work well for him. I’ve considered getting one but the price is a significant barrier.
It’s probably the Remarkable2. I paid 300€ on mine IIRC.
Well I bought one and received it on Monday (two days ago) and I returned it today. There was a lot to like but for the 3rd generation of a product the UI was not great and lacked too many obvious features. But the biggest reason I returned it was because the wifi connection does not support capture portals (where you connect to wifi and then it forwards you to a page to sign in or provide a wifi token). This is what I use at my own house and what we use at work and what generally all modern public wifi uses and it’s completely unsupported. So the whole concept of having access to my notes on all my devices was useless when it can’t connect to anything or sync.
Yeah, I think that every product that innovates on the hardware fails to bring quality software to match.
