Premium Suite
One of the initial gripes about the Galaxy Note was that it didn't come with enough apps that took advantage of the S Pen. Samsung has hopefully changed that perception with its Premium Suite upgrade, a collection of apps that put the stylus to good use. The Suite comes with seven templates for a variety of everyday uses, including writing a diary or jotting down notes. You can record each step of your drawings and play them back, and use the phablet as a whiteboard to create diagrams, flowcharts, and so on. Premium Suite lets you annotate and save PDF files as well.
Soonr Scribble
Soonr Scribble lets you annotate and share documents in more than 35 file formats, including PDF and Microsoft Office Word (.doc), PowerPoint (.ppt), and Excel (.xls). This free app saves your notes, proposals, expense reports, and other mobile files to the Soonr cloud service. The S Pen makes it easy to highlight text, write comments in margins, and insert arrows where necessary. Another cool feature is Soonr's rendering technology that lets you view more than 40 different file types without having to download the document. Soonr supports more than 800 mobile devices running iOS, Android, and BlackBerry OS.
Autodesk SketchBook Mobile
Autodesk's SketchBook Mobile is a great app for the S Pen. Priced at only $1.99, this paint and drawing program has an impressive toolkit of brushes, tools, and effects. You can duplicate and add layers, import photos from the Galaxy Note's camera, and export your sketches in several formats. The latest version supports pen pressure sensitivity too.
S Memo
S Memo comes with the Galaxy Note, and it's one of the best pen-oriented apps for the device. You can jot down memos with different pen tips and colors, and add photos to your memos and edit them inside the app. In addition, you can annotate a map to, say, help a friend find a restaurant where you're meeting for lunch. When a memo is ready to send, you can deliver it via text or email.
Square Card Reader
Being a phablet, the Galaxy Note is handy for apps that might normally work best on larger mobile devices. Square Card Reader, for instance, is a good match for the Galaxy Note, which has a screen that's large enough for processing transactions, and a stylus for your customers to digitally sign their receipts. Square's free credit card reader attaches to the top of the phone. The app is free as well--but Square's credit card processing service is not. Users pay either a flat month rate of $275, or a 2.75% charge per swipe.
