Do you doodle? If you think best with a pen in your hand, Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8.0 is the finest tablet available. Samsung's S Pen and the company's broad support for writing and drawing still set the Galaxy Note line apart from every other tablet on the market. The Galaxy Note 8.0 is really fast too. It runs a heavily skinned version of Android 4.1.2 on a speedy quad-core Exynos 4412 processor at 1.6GHz, with 2GB of RAM. In terms of raw processor speed, it's the fastest Android tablet have ever used or seen yet.

I came from a Toshiba Thrive, my first tablet, and this is leaps and bounds ahead of that tablet. I'm feeling I am up with the times. Not that ever mattered to me before. Samsung has put together a great product. I have purchased an ebook and the tablet is great for reading. I can't say enough about this tablet. It is well worth buying and trying for yourself!

I shopped over a year for a tablet and have zero regrets over my selection of the Galaxy Note 8. I had no idea how much I would use the note taking tools. I am on my second Note 8 due to cracking the screen on my first, glass verses cement driveway. See pics for mutitasking and note taking examples
