Nope nope. Instead I stayed in my jams and played with my new Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, with Logitech bluetooth keyboard and case. This is what Tim got me for Halloween, along with a Halloween Snoopy and Woodstock mug.
None of which I have pictures to show you yet. But dig this, when I write a formula, I can talk into the Galaxy and it will type it for me. Or use my S pen for hand-written notes and with one click, convert them to text.
Or, if I'm reading articles about food, but I only want to save one paragraph, all I have to do is circle it with my S pen and save just that bit, for later.
But that's not all. I can also use the device to snap quick photos of the steps, and insert them into the notes.
Or, or, or ... I can watch my favorite cookery shows and play along at my kitchen table, because the Logitech keyboard turns the tablet into a laptop.
Best Halloween gift, ever.
That's cool you can just talk to it. I knew you'd fing the right one for you.
ReplyDeleteIt works well for my needs.
DeleteThat man spoils you, hope you cook him some lucky food for Sunday ;-)

I love cooking and baking for him.
DeleteWow, that new tablet sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's killer. Tablet that replaces my desktop. Without the endless updates and bullcrap from Windows. Absolute heaven
DeleteSo fun! Totally worth staying in jammies all day! I love Snoopy! He still rocks.
ReplyDeleteFor rocks, indeed.
DeleteDo you have Snoopy's book about writing? Brilliant and funny. Love it.
'tis a whole new galaxy for you :)
ReplyDeleteIn news from Europe I still don't own a smart phone LOL
I don't have a SP either. But I'm not remotely interested in iPhones or Smart Phones. I'll just stick with our flip top that my husband and I share.
DeleteWe're not big mobile phone users.
Halloween present! I usually get my husband a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. Sounds like a great device.
ReplyDeleteThat's it? No gifts? No Halloween tree? And only one apple pie baked per year?
DeleteYou're killing me.
Apples and cinnamon are always a welcome combination!
ReplyDeleteSo heavenly together.
DeleteSounds like you're having a blast. When I got my Samsung phone, I did the same thing - spent almost a whole day getting to know it.
ReplyDeletePeople really dig their phones. Glad you found one that works for you and that you had fun playing with it.
DeleteYou lucky duck, you!
ReplyDeleteI know it.
DeleteWooHoo what a super gift.
ReplyDeleteI upgraded my Samsung phone and I have to tell you I adore it ! I don't even need a Note Pro right now. I love it.
I have a great Snoopy story that I have posted before ... so I might have to repost it you. I love Snoopy !
I mentioned you on my blog today.
cheers, parsnip
Glad you love your gadget. I went with the Note Pro 12.2 because I'm a writer. I wanted both that laptop and tablet combo with the killer Logitech cover and keyboard.
DeleteI haven't been out of the blogs yet this afternoon. Just finished work and had lunch. Thanks for the mention. Headed over there now.
Good choice!
ReplyDeleteI have two smartphones but I hate talking on the phone....
that is a nice Halloween present
ReplyDeleteThis is the best Halloween present I've ever heard of. You will definitely have a blast using it! I'm half embarrassed to say I've never given a Halloween present, nor received one. You are a lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteLove the apples and cinnamon....
ReplyDeleteVery traditional for Halloween!
Never ....ever.....got a Halloween present....
That Tim is quite a guy...
Boogie boogie with your tablet...
Cheers!
Linda:o)
Yes! Best. Halloween. Gift. Ever. Sounds like you're having a grand old time with this new toy. You've got the best hubby.
