How Many Notebooks Do You Use?
-
Post-it notes are Devil's work. When I become CEO banning them will be my first priority.

I just timed my iPad 2 with BT keyboard and password not code. Took seven seconds.

Now that I have the Surface pro2 I use that and one note.
The biggest problem I have with using a tablet for note taking in meetings is the lock screen. You go to write something and your tablet has automatically locked itself. So you have to unlock it. Which takes about ten seconds.
Are you using Windows 8? You can use the gesture-based login.

I'm an iPad2 with pass-code.
Regardless of the time, having to unlock a tablet every time you want to jot down a note in a meeting seems to me to be a complete pain.

It would like the gesture that I would give it.

My "notepad" is either OneNote or Evernote. Evernote is on all my mobile devices and now with O365 web apps, I can use OneNote online from my ODfB/SharePoint site.
My phone has a color note app I use when I need personal lists.

Using full passwords with a touch screen makes it slow. No fast way to do it.

Why use a full password on an iPad?

I have to give you that! but you said you were using a BT keyboard...

When I do have a password I do a Pin on my ipad/phone (I hated the finger print thing, if I had lotion on it wouldn't work). on my Surface I use the picture thing but again I shut that off before going into a meeting.
-
can you use the 'picture thing' with a domain logon? Is your SP joined to the domain?

Yes which helps keep it down to seven seconds unless it doesn't sync up. Then it takes far longer.
Having to swipe to unlock then switch to keyboard for the password is jarring and inefficient. That's partly why it takes so long.

Tablets definitely have a more difficult time dealing with this. We don't use them here, we are strickly laptops/desktops. Entering a password takes a long as it does to type the password.
I could definitely see the complaint if you have to type a password on a tablet 50+ times a day. In that case I'd be OK with using a 6 digit pin with the hopes that someone would report their device missing ASAP after they noticed it was gone so it could be deactivated. But I'm not worried to much about this, our EHR vendor is so far behind I don't forsee us using tablets (i.e. iPads, android) for at last two more years.

Yes, you can use the picture/gesture login with a domain account.

Tablets and phones definitely drive me crazy with the hundreds of logins per day. Press a button, swipe the screen, type a code. You have to use three distinct input methods for one action.
I'd go crazy if it were not for the fingerprint reader on my iPhone. I am praying that the Mini 3 will have that too. Best new iPhone feature.

I am looking forward to the Surface Pro 3 where I can press the end of the stylus and bypass logins and instantly begin taking notes.

@garak0410 that's a nice feature. I rarely use a tablet for notes though. I need email and apps that quickly.

I am looking forward to the iPhone 6 for myself for that feature. I will not have a phone with a simple or no passcode, that is just inviting problems, but i do so get tired of not having easy response access to some things.
