I am considering buying a Motorola Xoom to get rid of piles of notes that I have from uni.
My questions are:
- Does the Xoom have a digitizer pen (or can you buy a compatible one)?
- Does Android have an app to make notes on pdf files?
-
1It's also worth noting that the Xoom has a "capacitive" touch screen (as do most modern multi-touch compatible devices) most stylus pens are designed for the older "resistive" touch screens and won't do anything on a capacitive screen. See this previous question on suitable styluses for a capacitive screen android.stackexchange.com/questions/2490– GAThrawnJul 5 '11 at 10:42

I do not believe there are any Android applications that will allow you to make notes on PDF files. You might be better off looking towards a Windows capable tablet, since you would be able to run Acrobat on that.

In fact, there are at least two apps now, that allow you to make notes in PDF files: RepliGo Reader and ezPDF Reader– FlowOct 4 '11 at 19:59
I dont think the xoom can be used with a pen, it wasnt designed for that, i have a xoom and all i use it for is browsing the internet and playing games, it could be a very useful tool for taking notes and such with the onscreen keyboard and i think it is very handy to have. It has a ton of hard drive space and if you download a good app that lets you take notes then i think it would be good for you, if you dont like typing your notes and you want to actually write them then i dont think the xoom is good for that. you could try using a pen with it but it could scratch the screen, you could ask someone at an at&t or verison store if they would recommend a tablet that suits your needs.
