Good Android apps for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Summary: I have been using the Galaxy Note 10.1 for a few weeks and find the big screen is great for most apps. This is a collection of some really good ones including some apps preinstalled on the Galaxy.

Cascaded windows mode

In addition to the multiview shown in the previous slide, Samsung has included a cascaded windows view. This lets multiple apps run in windows that can be manipulated much like a desktop OS.

This slide shows many apps running at once, and is very cluttered. I never use it in this way, it's only shown to demonstrate what is possible in cascaded windows mode.

Where it's useful is with two or three apps running in small windows on the screen at once. A simple tap will send the desired app into full screen mode. Each small window is resizable by touch, so any layout can be created as desired.

  • HD Widgets

    A great collection of widgets for both phones and tablets. Another similar good set of widgets is Beautiful Widgets. That comes with the live wallpaper I'm using in that screen shot.

  • Value Add Apps

    I rarely comment on anything but was disappointed in this list. Almost all of these are included apps. The list is really remiss to not have included SketchBook for drawing/sketching and LectureNotes for taking handwritten notes. I liken SNote to how I use a sticky note and LectureNotes to a real notebook for meeting notes, ideas, etc.

    For a PIM PocketInformant 3 is superior to SPlanner I think in every way imaginable.

      But still worth mentioning PI3 and Lecture Notes.
