How Many Notebooks Do You Use?

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

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 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.

By simple, do you mean 4 digit? What's your fear of that?

it is too easy to steal.
A person many feet away from you can watch you unlock your phone with a 4 digit pin and have a really good idea of what that pin is. They do not have to see your screen, just watch your thumb move.
Go stand in line at the grocery store and keep your eyes open. You do not even have to be blatant about it, and you will pick up the PIN for people's ATM cards in a heartbeat.

I think I'd be more worried about someone stealing my credit card and pin than my phone and pin. I'm sure it happens, but I've never heard of anyone having their pin stolen - bank card or phone.

Not a serious risk in Europe because of massively better security practices. Super common in the states.

Like what? There's nothing stopping @JaredBusch stealing my credit card out of my back pocket, and all he needs is my pin number which he finds super-easy to see. He'll been in Rio drinking tequilas and smoking Cubans before I even know it's missing.

But seriously, you got the point.
Target a person for a pick-pocket / theft. Prior to doing so, observe them in a situation where you can see them use the card to obtain their PIN first. Then when you use the card you will have lower chances to set off any automated red flags because you have the card and the PIN. -
I have been through many adventures and journeys when it comes to taking notes. I have used everything from a golf pencil and a memo pad to a full notebook with a gel ink pen to OneNote on the computer, and I guess it really depends on how prepared you are and how many notes you need to take.
I used to use pen and paper all of the time. In fact, I still carry around a memo pad and a pen with me everywhere. Since I've been taking notes more at my desk, I've been conforming to using OneNote. I also carry a Venue 8 pro tablet around with me with a bluetooth keyboard while on travel so that I can take the appropriate notes there when I am at a client's building or just working remotely. I have that linked into my OneNote notebooks as well and can seamlessly add notes where needed. So far this is working quite well for me because my handwriting is terrible and I can type faster than write, so I can record more information.
I do still have at least five types of paper to write on on my desk though.
