what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here and we're back with another episode of what's on mine and now we've got my daily driver the galaxy note here so let me show you what kind of applications that I've got what I use on a daily basis is my actual phone I haven't done anything crazy to it this is what's going to go right from this video directly into my pocket let's go ahead and get started alright so first I want to say this is not a rooted device this isn't running any custom roms it's not running cyanogen or any sort of alpha build this is exactly how the galaxy note came this is the international version doubt bring system still gingerbread with TouchWiz sitting on top of it alright so let me go ahead and show you she got the lock screen so forgot a custom lock screen on here as well that's Lucy I do have an Ice Cream Sandwich Locker on here which lets me choose different applications that i want to open so if I slide it to the right that will unlock if I slide it up it'll call my wife if I slide it to the left it'll launch my mail application which is k-9 mail talk about that a little bit and if I slide down it'll go right to text messages so that's what I use here and this is all touch with stuff the big sort of time widget followed by the giant weather widget have this refreshing about every three hours but if you want a refresher manually there's the little arrows donor so I'll go ahead and do that I've got a starred folder here for folks that I call most often got a quick dial for my wife camera gallery settings plume is my Twitter application of choice for Android just kind of dig it it works well it's pretty simple and on the giant screen of the note it's awesome just to have all these tweets show up facebook I do use a facebook application on the phone whereas on the tablet if you saw my iPad what's on my iPad video I use the browser for that and whatsapp I do a lot of chatting on so continuing down at or hear phone that's obviously phone k-9 mail is my preferred mail client I have a lot of different accounts so using the native gmail application on Android I don't like like it very much the end of a unified inbox which is quite a pain to jump between inboxes k-9 mail has been great for setting flags that kind of stuff I don't want to open it up because you know all kinds of personal mail stuff in there so if you want to try a secondary mail app with give k-9 mail a shot though we'll slide to the right google search speed tests you guys know I'm a speed test maniac I love to speed test everything so I've got some reminders on here with my today's calendar active applications case I want to manage what's running go ahead and tap that and I can go ahead and close whatever I need to get closed now but generally I never even come close to being filled s planner which is my calendar YouTube ESPN which honestly I don't use on that much generally I'll just go to ESPN com you know I've got this application in case I want to check out the scores and all my stuff for my favorite teams will slide on over not much here just simple a connection stuff screen timeout tips and settings nothing on the next screen I'm a minimalist here when it comes to my experience recent Laker scores I'm going to check that very quickly and now we're on the last screen which coincidentally is also on the left when I'm on my home screen so one is home so 7 goes so laptop got Twitter on here let's see what we got going on in applications a lot of this stuff is pretty stock much like the ipad i do them and download what i think i'm going to use or what i want to test out and i'll delete it when i'm done so clock s planner music camera Maps gmail gallery a google search market social hub that's all samsung stuff readers hub don't really use that settings my files videos all share which sort of does a weird way of letting you share it test actually tether we've got keys air talk latitude don't even know keys areas actually I've never even tried then see what that is on camera which enables a Wi-Fi to pc phone communication so that's what I thought all share was so what's all share shows how much I you stuff oh so for slinging content to DLNA enabled devices so similar to the airplane S Memo which is what you use for drying on here you can see wait use the pen for I've gotten through all that a lot in my overviews and reviews of the note so I'm not going to go into too much detail on that photo editor video maker mini diary it's all sort of standard stuff that comes on here voice recorder voice Chuck voice search downloads calculator Samsung Apps news and notes you can see I don't that much downloaded Polaris Office now all right stuff getting software up downloading crayon physics s choice and was on kindle I will say though there's some decent stuff here in the samsung apps kindle this is one place where the note is awesome for reading books if you're at the gym or something or on a train or just like to read on your phone I having your screen this big is really really nice speed tests again because I speed test a lot Facebook you saw Fandango and flick sir for checking movie times analytics widget generally I've got a widget on the home screen that shows me Google Analytics kind of stuff for the site Netflix whatsapp battery widget and beautiful widgets I some beautiful widget centrally gives you HTC Sense asked looking clocks and weather swiftkey tablet X that was one of the keyboards that I was using for the galaxy note i'll show you the keyboard a

percentage right there which is kind of nice I like to keep my taskbar clean as possible I'm gonna go ahead and show you the keyboard that I music I really didn't like the keyboard that came standard on the international version of the galaxy note so I download an Ice Cream Sandwich influenced keyboard and it really makes typing much easier for me typing on the galaxy note is great because the keys are so giant so that's what I use this has been what's on my android device in this particular case the galaxy note which is a very unique Android device you can have so much on the same screen got five rows across here of icons which is kind of rare but I absolutely look alright so i'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo and i'll see you guys in the next video you
