Do you know what apps that make use of the pressure sensitive pen? The ones I know so far are:
Notes (the built-in HTC app, of course)
Sketchbook Pro / Mobile
Quill
What else?
The built-in browser.

In addition to highlighting, you can annotate/draw in all those applications... what else do you want the pen to do? I usually have similar expectations for a pen and paper/document/book in front of me.
In honeycomb the pen acts as a capacitive stylus... click and move around the page. Tapping the pen button gives you the option to capture the screen and annotate.
Hope this helps you in your decision or quest for knowledge. Too bad there isn't a sticky to help people realize the pen functionality in HTC provided apps.
I see. I didn't know that about those reading apps. I thought everything just turned into screenshots and jpg. I have the flyer and I find Sketchbook Pro to be really great. Do you know any other drawing apps that make use of the pressure sensitivity? Quill is more of a note taking app I guess.

I've been waiting for them to implement that feature. I'm glad it came with the latest update. Easily the best PDF reader on the market, and now it's even better.
Sketchbook Pro is probably the best drawing app.
Hopefully not sure we'll see many more apps with pressure sensitive input. I dont think the general populous understands or needs the precise input of an integrated pen.
I would suggest folks look for ways to utilize the existing apps... Find work around for the quirks you cant stand. Hopefully ICS may bring more pen-based apps, but unlikely any pressure sensitve apps.
I personally like the flyer and have figured out how to use the current apps in my workflow.

Now that I'm assured I'm getting a touchpad, the burning question remains; is there some type of note taking app I can use, or am I forced to use the on screen keyboard, or a bluetooth keyboard to type notes during class?
This is exactly what I was wondering!

maybe I'm reading it different but I think the OP is looking for an app that does hand written notes both those apps suggested do not have that option
am looking for the same,very surprised nobody has come up with something, there must be 10/20 ipad apps that do this so I assume there's a market for the app its something I use everyday on my ipad
There is an app called Just Draw in the store which may be what you are looking for.
It hasn't been released yet but I think this is what the OP is looking for: LINK

If you setup a chroot enviroment you can use cellwrite for OCR handwriting or xournal for regular note taking and annotating pdfs.

I am trying to find out if there is either a way to side-load the special version of the Notes app onto my ASUS Transformer or obtain a stylus exactly like the HTC scribe pen so I can use this to take notes with
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I don't think it is possible....for either thing. It is a hardware solution through n-trig. You could look into a plain capacitative stylus and use Skitch with Evernote, though.
Quick question. When using evernote and the jetstreem note taking app with the stylus, do you have to use it in whole screen mode to write or can you use it like other writting apps where you have a zoomed space to write on at the bottom of the screen which once a line is finished, sends your text to the next line (sorry about the poor description, not sure what this is called).
Also, does it have handwritting recognition functionality to convert to text???
If these things are possible with the stock app and scribe it will be the ultimate note taker!
No, it doesn't convert to text. It is more like a real live notepad. You can draw and write with it and then it syncs with Evernote up to the cloud. No handwriting recognition or anything like that. I think the new Thinkpad tablets have that, though. You can read the reviews on it if you want to. I like it for taking notes and highlighting my books, though....Skitch is more for drawing.
Now, with Evernote, you can type your notes, yes.

I wonder how it would go with an app like myscript over the top so that you get your handwriting recognition as well???
So i want to make this pretty straight forward, I'm in college, I like to read my books on my tablet, I like to do all sorts of work on my tablet and until now I was a iLoser carrying around an iPad 2 which I had plenty of apps that I became accustomed too. That said, I now rock the Prime and the Galaxy SII skyrocket. I love android much more than crApple's ios. Can I get any student/professor/anybody that uses their fancy new hardware for work and the occasionally play to give me some great apps tips for the tablet? (first thing I downloaded was Evernote!)? Thanks a bunch! Perhaps if we get a bunch of suggestions we can make a section in the app's section for "school" or maybe "productivity" I also want to add that while I don't have the dock (yet) I will be purchasing one when I see it in stores. (whenever that is!)
*if everyone likes the idea of a productivity/school thread in the apps section I wouldn't mind making it and updating it.
(1) Android Office - The most complete office app I know. It's even got a spell checker.
(2) Ezpdf - best for hand write directly into your pdf files.
(3) Repligo - Best for opening very large pdf files. I use it to open and use regularly a pdf file that is 2000+ pages with lots of images. Renders pages instantly.
(4) Printershare - print through cloud print or through wireless.
(5) Writepad stylus - note taking app with palm rejection, meaning you can rest your hand on the screen and still be able to write. Can save your notes as pdf docs.
(6) Antipaper - Another note taking app that has palm rejection.
FYI, all of these apps were free at one point or other on amazon appstore.

I checked out both and one of the biggest problems I have with both is that I don't seem to be able to make folders to put notebooks in. I would want to have folders for each class, and then within the folder each notebook would be a lecture. Fairly surprised I cant do somethjing like that so not sure if I am missing something

Well, you could create your own folders. After you're done with a particular class, you could output the saved notes for that day as pdf and then store it in your own folder.
Or you could make several notebooks, one for each class, and then keep writing into the notebooks as if it's a paper notebook.
Added by edit.
Another idea is this. Just make blank pdf files or pdf files with lines and then use something like ezpdf or repligo to write directly into the pdf file.
Just a couple ideas.
The main idea is make due with what you have. Be creative. Don't just have a set of ideas of what you want and then get stumped when you can't do exactly what you want.
Oh yah it wouldn't be a big deal if I couldn't, just wanted to check if I was missing some way to do it.
If I can't make folders so long as I name them correctly it shouldnt be a problem since I can do a search for notebooks which should work out the same as a folder so long as my naming is good.
I should probably do the whole export and put in my own folders anyways as a just in case

Due to the nature of the lecture and slides it's best if I annotate/markup the slides themselves so Ive been using ezpdf, but I really like the ease of use and features of the stylus/handwriting, especially the zoom feature on antipaper (Ive seen this on some ipad pdf reader as well ). So are the any note taking apps that allow you to draw on pdfs, or any pdf reader/editors with more robust annotation/markup tools?

You can zoom in on your pdf in ezpdf (double tap, or two finger.... opposite of pinch) and do your annotations like that if you need to get closer for your notes.
And when you are zoomed in and have free hand annotations selected, you can use 2 fingers to scroll around even while still in annotation mode.
As for the repligo suggestion I personally found it not quite as nice for annotations because you have to do 3 taps just to start an annotation. Once to bring up menu's, once to select the menu, then again to select "draw freehand", where with ezpdf its just one click on the top bar and your going.

How can you even use this? I've tried but trying to write small letters on this is impossible. All i get withthis program are small lines and dots.
I've been struggling with finding a good note-taking app for the NT. Mind you the best ones out there (like Quill; queue: envy) are only compatible for Honeycomb or ICS. So until CM9 is complete, I'm stuck looking for something compatible with Gingerbread.
One is dealing with the palm recognition that glitches out the stylus' path in the app. This, I've "solved" this by placing a cloth beneath my hand while writing with a stylus.
The remaining problem is an app that can keep up. Sketchbook Mobile and Drawing Pad actually are the most accurate that I've tried, but they're slow and laggy and not meant for note taking. I've tried FreeNote, Note Plus, and Note Everything to find that they struggle to capture script-like handwriting accurately.
Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions? If not, I'm suck carrying a pad of paper to class until CM9 is complete.
I use Evernote and Springpad those are the best, primarily because they can sync your notes to all your devices, so you never lose them .

Try Evernote Skitch. May not be the perfect app you're looking for, but I use it to jot down notes.
Or Evernote + Swype.

Hey there,
I am looking for some app for android with a palm pad like the app notes plus for ipad has it

I found "make notes beta" but it is really not much more of a beta i have the feeling with input being very buggy and so on.
Does anyone have an idea if there is something like that?
Or is there a way to somehow deactivate multitouch support for some time in order to write with a stylus?
Thanks for your help!

Take a look at Skitch, it supports annotation and writing with a stylus. It also integrates well with Evernote, which is great for storing and taking all kinds of notes, with cross platform support.
