Here's some pics and a video of the Dagi up close. http://www.ohtheresourdog.com/tech/?p=70

I just got mine in the mail. It works pretty well but don't expect anything crazy. That Handrite app is pretty cool. Definitely better than Genial Writing IMO. I'll get some video of the Handrite app up here soon.
[Nook Color Accessories] dexx0008:
excellent thanks, even if you don't get to the video, your impressions on how well the Dagi works with this app would be great. if it's pretty usable, I'll be picking up one a Dagi stylus
[Nook Color Accessories] gagan512:
got the p501 today, first impressions are pretty good.

what we have to remember is that a lot depends on the software being used, how it converts strokes into smooth handwritten-like text, point detection, aliasing etc.. none of the apps that i currently know of support palm-rejection (that seems like something that would have to be implemented at a hw/firmware level on the touchscreen controller to work fast else it will have to go thru several layers which might render it not responsive enough).

I'm playing with the following trial/free apps at the moment-

1. genial writing - seems a fav around here but im not convinced its the best

2. handwrite - works pretty well

3. maplepaint - works good, looks clean

4. autodesk sketchbook - not a note taking app really, more for sketching

5. sketch notes - my fav so far, simple straightforward

6. tabnotes - idea is good, but yet to explore full potential

7. notion ink canvas - again, not for notes but for sketches

initial impressions are that the 10mm tip on the p501 might be good for quick notes, for highlighting and drawing, but not for writing long docs or notes. i'll continue to play around with these. if anyone has a good app recommendation that will do handwriting recognition and conversion to pdf let me know! (not the palm grafiiti tho, i want to really write and not use some sort of shorthand)

[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
Hey, thanks for the review and video.

If I may ask about another stylus, has anyone used an Acase stylus (http://www.zfreal.com/tech/electron...hone-ipod-capacitive-stylus-newest-model.html). Any impressions--pro or con--would be appreciated by this reader and, I can imagine, others, too.

Anyone have experience with the Galaxy Tab Stylus?

[Nook Color Accessories] celticchrys:
I tried that exact stylus first, and found it dreadful on the Nook Color. You must press quite hard all the time, and it's still bad; wavy lines, etc. It's fine on an iPad, but not the Nook Color.

I then bought the Dagi, and it's light-years better. Not perfect, takes some getting accustomed to, but much much better on Nook Color.
[Nook Color Accessories] Ceger:
Got Alupen and Stylus Sock. Alupen is awesome, better than the Dagi 005 and 501. This is my preferred stylus. Stylus sock is meh. perhaps to use for sketch apps, but for handwriting it sucks.

[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
Thanks for the mini-review. That's all I need to hear to drop it from my list.
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
Just looked at the specs for the Alupen on Amazon. It says it's 2 x 4 x 4 inches. Really!? That's practically a cube!

I'm guessing the 4 inches is the length. Could you please measure the diameter of the Alupen for me? It looks rather thick--thicker than a ballpoint pen. I'm curious if it will fit the loop in my NC cover.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
Well I finally ordered my stylus.

It came down to the Dagi P501 or waiting for the HTC Flyer stylus...but the latter needs batteries and is 4x the cost.

Ordered the Silver P501 from ebay for $18.99 shipped.

Tip: use the "make an offer" button, I offered $1 less and it was instantly accepted. maybe I should have tried a lower offer :P
[Nook Color Accessories] wingk1314:
got my dagi about a week ago. It's OK but not great. You still can't expect to draw anything detailed with it though.
[Nook Color Accessories] britoso:
I agree, the Dagi P501B just doesn't work well enough.

Maybe I need to adjust my touchscreen sensitivity or use other writing apps... but this is what I feel (review) after 2 days and after trying 4 apps.

a)Its impossible to write at my normal writing speed (cursive). (get gaps, dots, broken lines)

b)It will take time to relearn how to write with it as its very finicky.You have to have it at the perfect angle at all times for it to work at all.

c)You can draw atleast 200% better with your finger. :)

d)Your palm touches the screen when you try to use it to angle/stabilize the stylus. In the Dagi drawing video on youtube the artist uses a paper or something.
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:
Bump.

Is there someone with this stylus who could measure it, please?

While the Dagi are better than the Acase, etc., they still aren't really useable for writing clearly.

Has anyone tried the Hard Candy stylus?

http://www.hardcandycases.com/candy-ipad-stylus.html

I'm thinking of experimenting with the homemade options as well. I've seen people using a rolled up anti-static bag, and then there's this one, which is also possibly interesting:

[Nook Color Accessories] angomy:
Has anyone tried this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM

Involves reflective material, cellophane, a rolled up piece of paper inserted into the end of a ballpoint pen. The guy does a ton of demos, looks pretty good.

I'll be trying it this weekend if I have the time, getting a bit frustrated at using my finger for Autodesk Sketchbook :S
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
I tried some of the home made options (aluminum foil, anti static bag) and they didn't work on the NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] angomy:
Are those of you with a good experience with the Targus stylus using screen protectors? I was trying to use one with my nook in Autodesk Sketchbook and it was awful -- it wouldn't register half the time or made wobbly lines -- I was doing better using my finger :|
[Nook Color Accessories] GrillMouster:
I've come to the conclusion that the Nook Color's screen isn't good for precise drawing with a stylus. I tried the Targus, Rocketfish, and Dagi P501. I also tried making my own with an "x" pattern made from energy bar wrappers. They all worked, meaning the screen recognized them. The Dagi was the most precise. However, with all, drawing slow, controlled curves resulted in wobbly lines. I get smoother lines using my finger, but that doesn't give me precision and control.

I'll wait until I get a "real" tablet instead of a "hacked" tablet to try again.
[Nook Color Accessories] d.v:

Could someone please measure their Alupen and post the dimensions?

I'm using the BestBuy "cheapie" stylus on my Nook Color (and my HTC Inspire lol). Works pretty good actually, wish the tip was more "pointy" but it works awesomely!
[Nook Color Accessories] xdp:
Looks like the conclusion here is that a Nook Color running CM7 can't be a suitable replacement for pen and paper for note-taking in class. I used an HP tc4200 tablet with OneNote in 2005 and it mostly worked okay but sometimes had issues with not writing where I wanted it to - however, that mostly seemed like a software problem and not hardware. I'm surprised we're not further along six years later.
[Nook Color Accessories] AidenM:
Getting a BoxWave. Good or bad idea?
[Nook Color Accessories] dsf3g:
I've concluded that the solution to the stylus problem on the Nook Color is to buy an HTC Flyer.

Saving my pennies.
[Nook Color Accessories] AidenM:
Um... yeah. I'm getting a Flyer christmas, but in the mean time, my question remains, is BoxWave a good choice?

Thanks.

P.S. The Flyer is $500, as sthe styluses are $25 MAX
[Nook Color Accessories] dsf3g:
Depends what you want it for. No stylus is decent for notetaking on the NC. For simple tapping, and page swiping without leaving fingerprints, any decent stylus should do (I got a freebie with a screen protector and it works just fine for that).

As for the $25.00 Flyer stylus, hour's talking 3rd party, right? Because, from what I've read they don't have the built-in eraser button.
[Nook Color Accessories] busyworked:
I sent Dagi some feed back and thought I would throw this down here as well.

I had asked a question via one of their P501 eBay listings. Initially they said we recommend the P501. But after they shipped they told me they also sent along a P502 and asked if I would give them some feedback after receiving them.

I was interested in particular about the P502 because i saw this listing on Amazon:

Hello Jamie,

I received the P501 & P502 today.

I am currently using the Nook Color With a clear screen protector.

Android CM7 in particular;

Update 6/22-Phiremod Nook v7-Test Dualboot SD Package Update

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13092402#post13092402

In Sketchbook and other apps.

The P502 Is much better.

P502 continues the line better. P 501 stops and starts.

P502 needs almost no pressure while drawing. P501 needs more pressure.

Thank you for sending both. If I do a video review at some time in the

future I will be certain to let you know.

The DAGi 502 Is a useful and well made device for my needs, thank you.

[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Well I finally rooted again and tried both genial and handrite and genial seems to work a lot better for me. With either program, the screen has to be clean and genial could be used for strictly text notes. Handrite was unfortunately illegible if I wrote at anything approaching quickly. This is using the p501. I'd like to try the 502, sounds even better.

hey mates,

i'm looking for the "best" browser for my dhd.

there are so much out there, that i cannot decide ;)

firefox mobile, opera mobile/mini, skyfire, dolphin hd,...?

which one do you recommend? flash support would be nice.

DN41
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] WingZer0n:
Firefox is good
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] combat goofwing:
dolphin is excellent
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] MrYuiM:
I've tried all of them. My best experience is with SkyFire for watching flash. Firefox always crashes, dolphin lagged out so much once that I had to remove the battery, Opera as you know has no flash but is extremely fast for non-flash. But in the end they all have their pros and cons which is why I have all of them :D

I've heard good stuff about miren browser, havent tried it though :/
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] DN41:

Dolphin is by far the best browser ! Hands down. I've tried them ALL: Opera (bugs), Firefox (I'm a BIG Firefox fan for the pc but on the DHD it's just unresponsive & slow), Skyfire is also just ok nothing special.... Ur best bet is Dolphin HD... Gluck....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
I'm coming towards the end of the period in which I can return my Nexus S for a full refund and therefore need to make a decision.

One of my considerations is the poor support I've read that Samsung give in the event of hardware failure. Anyone else concerned about this? Anyone have first hand experience?

With the problems reported here I fear that one of these days my now perfect Nexus S is going to develop one or more faults that will require Samsung support and I'd really like to believe I can resolve any problems without too much hassle.

If Samsung support really has historically been that bad, do we think it will improve now it has the Google name to live upto?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravidavi:
This phone is supported by Google, not Samsung. If you have problems with the phone, you would go to Google, not Samsung.

I've used Samsung support on my previous phone (Vibrant) and must say I was very impressed. I would even go as far as to say I had a better experience with them than I did with HTC. I had a bad GPS chip on my Vibrant and Sammy had me send my phone in at THEIR expense. My phone was returned in 100% working order in only 6 calendar days. When I send my HD2 to HTC I had to pay my own shipping to them and it took 14 days to get my phone back.

Wrong, Google is letting Samsung take over support of the device, after the blunder they had with the N1 they realized they couldnt handle it.

I have synched my Titanium Backup to my Dropbox account, and have the files on my desktop. There were older files in there, however, from previous backups. My question is should I only zip up the files dated from the most recent backup (1/1/11), or should I zip all the files and move them to the card? My instincts say use just yesterday's, as it was a full backup, but there's a niggle in the back of my mind - any insight would be appreciated!

I have a real headache going on here...

I have a backup in Dropbox made with Ti Backup dated Feb 13, which I'm trying desperately to restore after my Samsung Epic had to be reflashed. But no matter what I do, a backup from Jan 17 keeps showing on the restore list in Ti.

I deleted the Ti folder on my SD card and replaced it with the downloaded folder from Dropbox, but Jan 17 still comes up in the program. I then tried deleting the folder in the SD card, then ran a "Sync with Dropbox." Same result. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Ti but that Jan 17 backup keeps coming up.

I won't be doing any backups until I get this restoration done. Can anyone suggest what to do here?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] reinbeau:
There's another place on the main memory that TB can store a backup, have you gone all through your file structure and killed all other possibilities? I had to do that myself once, it wasn't fun - also, make sure in TB preferences you're pointing to the correct directory in Preferences/Backup Folder Name.
[General Questions and Answers] toonvox:
Thanks for the response!

a) How do I find out what the directory is in Preferences/Backup Folder Name? It just shows a folder name...not a place to put it.

b) If there's something in the phone memory, it's gone since I wiped the phone clean when I re-flashed it.

You have to go and look st it. Start up TB, hit the menu button, then preferences, and then choose backup folder. Tell me what that says and we'll go from there.
