I'm the developer of pressureNET. There are plenty of reasons you may want the app, but I understand if you don't find them appealing. The project is open source and it exists because I think I can revolutionize weather prediction by collecting data that nobody else is collecting. We have received more than 1,000,000 measurements from thousands of users, currently averaging about 17,000 per day. My plan is to build a live network of atmospheric pressure across the world (wherever there are cities, anyway) of a significantly better density than has ever been attempted.
Currently, I do not predict the weather because I do not have enough data. Therefore, if you are looking for immediate utility from the application and you have a barometer in your phone, the only feature I can offer you is the pressure reading and tendency from your barometer.
The other principle reason you may want to join is that the project is really really awesome. You might want to be a part of it.
I'd love to answer any other questions. Additionally, I'm in this thread because I don't know the answers to the OP's questions. Does the Note vary by carrier in its barometer capabilities? What's it like to run pressureNET on the Note?
pressureNET is built by me (and a friend who builds the graphics/UI) and we have a Xoom and a Galaxy Nexus, but no Note to test on. So discussion of the Note is extremely helpful for us to improve the app.
Thanks everyone,
Jacob

According to PhoneArena, it has one: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-LTE_id6779
But it appears the app is only for 3.0 and up, so those on the stock Gingerbread can't test it.
Yes, AT&T Note has a barometer, and it's actually amazingly accurate. I use AndroSensor and Barometer HD to see the sensor data. This project does look really neat, I'd love to see a live "heat-map" of sorts when a storm front hits.

I have an AT&T, i717, Note. I am currently using Android 4.0.3, UCLD3. I was able to install Pressurenet and use my barometer to read and submit my statistics. I was then able to identify my reading on the map in my location, York, Pa, USA.
Great work Cumulo. Feel free to contact me if you need testers or whatever.
I use this on my Xoom. Never thought about trying it on the Note.
can't install from market
Have a GNote on Rogers network in Canada, app does not show up in the market via the Note, but is seen via www on the desktop and is listed as incompatible there. Are there any other sources for the app? I have other barometer apps installed, just cannot get this one via marketplace.

Though it's not the same as an HDMI-out, the Thunderbolt will be able to provide HDMI-out through an adapter.

The accessories listed above with a 1 year contract is tipping me over to the TB side. My two concerns for the TB is the battery life and cellular reception. I have only owned 2 HTC phones; one was the Tilt on the AT&T network (the reception was sub-par) and the second is the Droid Eris (it does have good reception with the new radio).
The Devs have made the Eris into a good viable smartphone for the masses but the screen size is still not to my liking. I want and need more screen size and resolution to make it work well for me.
I have been thinking of waiting for the Bionic to come out and look at the comparison reviews before making the decision. With the 4G tiered plans looming over our heads, I don't know if it's a good idea to wait. Lastly, how is the earthquake and tsunami in Japan going to affect the availability of new phones?

It is still the 32gb card. I called verizon today because I am on the fence between this and the merge (assuming it has an LTE radio and how long it will take to come out?) I'm sick of the D2 and I miss HTC phones, so i'm going to be paying the full lick. I wanted to find out about data pricing and she said it would be the same, with no premium. And "unlimited". I'm kind of afraid to wait because of the tiered pricing coming up and I really don't want to lose unlimited data.
oh, and there's this.

I was in your boat with wanting to wait for the LG or Moto device but after hearing from my buddy on the inside, I ordered the thunderbolt so I could jump on unlimited LTE, Verizon will grandfather your unlimited plan and you'll never have to worry about going over and having to pay more, to me, that was worth it alone, I'll wait 20 months to get a new device for unlimited LTE, even if it's not in your area, more then likely, it will be over the next year or so, but from what I've heard from my buddy, unlimited data is going to be ending in the next weeks, not summer time like some of the tech hubs have been saying, I'm using the ext battery and waiting for a case that'll fit, love the device, will root once custom recoveries are available! Good luck with your choice
Oh and Radio is great in this device, personally I think it's stronger then my incredible not by much but usually where I have one bar I have two and so forth plus lte is a dream, no issues with using hotspots for my Xbox to get on some COD, bandwidth report under options in cod shows 10000kbs, better then my ll DSL at only 515 kbs.

There is no HDMI port on the phone, period. There is a new standard interface for USB->HDMI dual port (called HML), but I know the Thunderbolt doesn't have it. I looked at the port with my own eyes.
I think you and that PDF file are referring to the DLNA->HDMI adapter from HTC:
mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=10802
It will work good for us folks that don't have DLNA tvs, but don't assume you will be able to do Atrix style webtop, mirror display things. DLNA is for streaming video and music, not re-compressing what is on your Android/Thunderbolt screen and sending it via DLNA. Think about the lag on that and overhead to do it. Lack of HDMI, like the Atrix was one of my biggest hangups with the Thunderbolt. I think it was a huge mistake to think DLNA is the future. Webtop, HDMI, MHL, and/or WHDI are! Booooo HTC. But everything else so far is awesome with the Thunderbolt! So cheers HTC!

Even when NFC is enabled we wont be able to use google wallet unless you spoof build.prop to a nexus device. Those are the only ones that will work with the app correctly. NFC is far from useless otherwise though. I just got a bunch of black NFC tags to start writing my own for my skyrocket and once we get NFC enabled on the note. I will have one on my car dock to turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth, turn up volume, and open a car dock app. All without toughing the phone
That's odd Canadians already have nfc enabled. One of our banks here let's us use it.

I'll certainly be watching for a feature like that. I current have a Thinkpad Tablet for the stylus - and just got a note. I'd be interested in the 10.1 Note if its any lighter than my Touchpad... lol its a beast to hold.
when dose this come out i want this!!!!!!
I'm thinking about it and i will be getting this for the same reasons i got the note over the iphone..................android>>>>apple
Headed out on vacation for the next week, so had to make a decision before my 30 day window was up.
Basically, I went with a larger screen for media related reasons (video, images etc), and the black-crush issue became a deal breaker for now. I think I'll sit on my crappy old iphone 3g for another month or so and revisit the Note or perhaps the the HTC onex. Hopefully the note will see ICS before too long and it'll fix some of the graphics issue i've been noticing.
That being said, I've got a couple cases that I will no longer need, they can be viewed in my review post of them in the review section. If you'd like them let me know...i'd accept cost of shipping plus beer money

I thought the same thing when I saw this. That would be a trend I'd never support. Batteries get weaker with time and it would be very inconvenient to send it off to be replaced. I hope this is just a rumor.

OP & XDA Members:
I don't know if you'd even consider an unsubsidized device. But if you would, the international Note (GT-N7000) is a big improvement over the AT&T Note. This is an educated personal testimony, as I have owned both devices. As for battery issues (and this applies to both the N7000 & the I717), 99% of the issues I've encountered have been caused by software. Google Maps, certain kernels, and certain root-enabled apps can cause perpetual, long-lasting wakelocks when the device should be in deep sleep. This seriously impacts battery life. However, once these issues are addressed, the Note finds it's battery life on par with the iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S.
I'm not trying to get into an Exynos versus Snapdragon debate. I'm simply making observations about the two devices' respective benchmark results, and their real-world everyday performance. Whether these differences are a result of the change in SoC, or something else entirely, is a discussion best had in another thread. For the purposes of this thread though, the international Note would serve you much better, and offers a much larger development community (for the moment; anything can change).
As far as the One X is concerned, it's another prime example of AT&T neutering a device to ensure LTE compatibility. If you think this is an acceptable trade-off because the altered device allows you to connect to AT&T's LTE network, consider this. AT&T doesn't care if you get 40Mbps or 1Mbps downstream. Their goal is to get devices off of their congested HSPA(+) network and onto their LTE network. In the process, they can tout it as a major upgrade designed to give YOU better service. The truth is that this "upgrade" wasn't a decision made to compete with big red; it was a necessary move to relieve the stress on their HSPA(+) network before it collapsed.
So, next time you go shopping for a phone to use with good ole' Ma Bell, consider what the device can do for YOU... not them.
Thank you,
Ed

No one phone is perfect, I hace owned more than 20 phones In the past few years and every phone I have had all have had drawbacks. What would be the incentive for a carrier to put out a perfect device when they rely on the revenue from phone sales? And everyone is different so everyone has there on perception of what perfect is. Me I couldnt have an Iphone as my daily driver because for one the screen is too tiny and two the iphone makes simple things much harder like creating a ringtone. But what I like about the Iphone is the many apps it has that Andriod still doesnt like Family fued.

Good post. I own both and am keeping both. They have different strengths, one is updates and unlocked the other get access to the LTE network which is excellent in the area where I live. One other thing is you get 5GB on the LTE unlimited plan for $30 opposed to 3GB on the HSPA plan before throttling. I have not seen any battery issues on either.
I really like the looks and specs of the HTC One XL but no SD crd and the battery thing bother me. I think it is 16GB or it 32GB internal memory? I just do not get that...Just my .02 cents.

Can't blame him. The Note is a joke without ICS. If Samsung wants to maintain any credibility they'll roll out ICS.

Really? Do you even own one? Maybe you just don't know how to use it. My note works just fine with Gingerbread. It will probably be better with ICS, but it's not a joke without it. Considering the fact that we'll have ICS within the next few months, it's hardly a deal breaker even if you somehow can't stand to use the phone without the newest version of Android.
OK, so if I'm reading this right, ICS is coming in Q2, but as part of a "Premium Suite"? The word "Premium" usually implies $$$, at least in my experience.
Maybe someone with more insight can read this and tell me what they come away with?

I do notice that they are showing the international version in the photos, but still...
I'm new-ish to the Samsung game, at least for mobile phones, so I haven't worked out their FUD protocol yet.
Oh, and if this has already been posted/debunked/whatever, sorry for the redundancy.
You will not have to pay for it I'm sure. World Wide to me includes the US. However att has to get hold of it so that will slow things down. They say q2 so that's the end of June, but reading these forums Samsung or att have a history of not being dependable.

From what I understand, Samsung is using the addition of the "Premium Suite" of s-pen apps as an excuse for why ICS wasn't delivered in Q1 as they had originally promised. As far as I know, their isn't going to be an additional charge for these apps; they'll be baked into the ICS OTA.
Also, as you point out they always seem to show the international version of the phone in photos, so AFAIK it's not guaranteed that the premium suite will be included in the I717 ICS OTA.
We'll just have to be patient and wait and see...
Perhaps in this case, "premium" means some of the apps will only be available to
the note. Not much of a deal if those apps are only for use with the s-pen...
It will be interesting to see the lag of ICS updates between the international & the at&t version.

With ATT at the wheel, I'm putting the over/under at 4 months post-Intl Note ICS OTA. And I will take the over....

What is everybody's rush for ICS? The Note has only been out for a few weeks. Give it a little time. When it's ready, it's ready.

Why all the worry about premium suite as well as time lines? Whatever version/build/whatever of ICS is officially released first Im sure it will only be a matter of days, if not hours before a better, faster, and debloated, rom is available right here on XDA. So Im giving a preemptive thanks to all the devs who spend their free time making such sweet software available to all us!
