That all is pretty cool, but that sure looked like an animation to me.
It absolutely is an animation. I first noticed that the pointing finger looked unnaturally, shall we say, erect; then noticed that the hand with stylus all moved as one unit, with zero wrist and back of the hand motion relative to the rest of the hand.
Does the Galaxy Note do that today? If not then who cares? I can make an iPad do all that in a fake animation.
Yup, that's right. If it has to be an animation, then it isn't being done for real. This is six minutes of wasted time, comparable to the books I read when I was a kid, that told us we'd have computer-controlled cars by the mid 80s.
I look at this and think of the "Bad Science" motto: Actually, it's a little more complicated than that!
And a direct response to "iPad Can't Do That" is "Samsung Galaxy Note Can't Do That, Either!"
