Draw / Jot / Sketch / handwrite apps on Playbook
While this is definitely not exhaustive, I tried to list various 'draw' applications, from the point of view not of 'painting' but of 'quick draw making', a relatively broad activity which extends from picture tagging to rough sketching to potentially even handwriting.
I attach the .odt worksheet, which is definitely incomplete, and corresponds to the inline pics below.
All comments / updates welcome!

There were no sideloaded apps in the above, which is an issue
The table I proposed only shows 'easy to get' apps. Now, for those of you really looking for handwriting, there is a full category missing there, because it only exists on Android, and only can be 'sideloaded'.
This category concerns apps that allow you to 'thumb-write' il very large characters across screen, say one single word across screen, then they automatically 'reduce' it to a normal-sized handwriting text at the top of the screen while you just continue 'large-writing'.
These apps
- are much better than any other one to record finger-handwriting (the 'zoomable' normal apps may perhaps compare, but are not dedicated to this activity)
- are not compatible from the Jot stylus, at least for the two I tried (on the Playbook at least)
- need to be found and sideloaded (then they behave like normal android ports)
The two apps I tried (sometimes described elsewhere in this very forum) are FreeNote+ and Handrite. a priori they are not free. There may be others.
For those really wanting handwriting, I think trying them is a must. (as I said elsewhere, personally I just don't have the 'handwriting faith' myself -I'm here for sketching, and I need searchable note archives : thus typed only)
FreeNote additionally ambitions to handle images/videos/voice records/attachments, typed and styled text, tags, search etc.
Handrite is more around the concept of a 'post-it note' board (and its initial GUI is just this, a corkboard with post-its containing miniature versions of your notes).
Because of my 'real text' bias I'd prefer FreeNote, although its many functions turn it more complex to handle, at least initially.Last edited by Herve5; 12-10-2012 at 01:33 PM.
