everybody it's michael fisher with pocket now day two of Aoife back at the samsung booth because we didn't get quite a close enough look at all the features specifically the S Pen features in the new Galaxy Note 3 so let's check out what you can do with this new class-leading phablet so the new S Pen might physically resemble the older one but it's capable of a whole lot more and that's thanks to software when you hover over the screen press the button once the Air Command the window pops up you can tap action memo which is the first we're gonna go left to right an action memo was first for a very good reason we showed you a little bit before about how the action memo could be used to save a phone number but we did not show you how it can plug in to navigation now I'm gonna give this a very very big address here and see if we can get the software to pin us at a specific location but if you have a real address here we go Smith I have Staten Island that sounds great I don't think I want to go there but we're just going to go there in our imaginations it's not going to be fun boom there it is of course you're not confined to addresses or contact list you can call phone numbers directly by writing them in you can send text messages you can send emails with the condo there's a whole lot here you can do you and that's up to a task question so this is the first feature once again for a very good reason because it is pretty versatile another cool application in that's in the air command menu here is scrapbooker so you tap that and it initially looks like the Selective screen grab application that we see in all the previous notes but it is not quite that now say we want to grab behind me Rivera's little blurb about the latest episode of the pocket now daily which you should watch if you don't already you can draw a box around it and it's not just grabbing the image there it's saving to the scrapbook the screenshot yes but also a computed copy of the text it's just done optical character recognition on all the text dropped all that in there we save it to our scrapbook we can in fact do memos on and all that stuff but we're just going to save it right now and that goes into the scrapbook and that is very very handy I'll show you a little bit more about that later it's a really nice way of taking notes on the quick the next function screen right is something we're all very familiar with you see all the instant screen grab action there and of course we can write on the screen in all manner of in all manner of ways using all manner of colors and there have been some just slight tweaks to the UI here to show you the size believe we might have another color option too we can individually target colors it's my big eyes I might have been able to do them No - I don't remember but we all know what this is like circle things and go over here this is not something we want to dwell on but it's nice that that features there for the people that continued to value it the fourth toggle on the air command menu which once again you press you get just by pressing the button on the side of the S Pen is s finder this launches you under a screen which doesn't really obey the cosmetic rules of any of the rest of the UI I mean it looks like maybe the future of where samsung's touchwiz is gonna go and are really sure obviously we're just kind of spitballing there it looks nice and clean but it doesn't really look like it fits anyway the reason we saved hime a story before was because it discussed the Nexus 5 so I'm going to search system-wide for the Nexus 5 and hopefully go ahead and find that somewhere now hey look I've been a scrapbook entry on it tap the scrapbook entry pops up that story before and the text associated with it this is a very very handy feature system-wide search is something that many people find useful not just on the desktop but in mobile increasingly in level as it becomes available so that's really nice to see and finally in the air command window for people who don't want to rely on just the multi screen multitasking you can hop over to pen window and the most often used example here is the calculator you're just going to draw a window size that you like for your application side then you can reviews the Geiger before you've seen that let's just open up a hangouts window here there it is there's this a resized hangouts window we are here's our fake contact list thankfully helpfully provided by Samsung this is really wild this 1080p display allows us to actually read this text and see these numbers in here we can start a hangout with any of these imaginary people because they don't really exist there's air view at work we can move that around and say you want to minimize any of these you can minimize it it becomes very much like a chat head from the Facebook app it goes over there and we can do another one let's say what do we want to do here pen window will make an app a big old wide one so here's that here's a youtube app the YouTube app is a little finicky because it doesn't like being in particular aspect ratios but you can resize it like that and you're watching a YouTube video here an air view is a little buggy there apparently you're watching YouTube video here drag it on down and you were having a hangout conversation up here or maybe you want to invert that so you can use the keyboard but this is you know awkward and cumbersome and you probably wouldn't do this all that often so we'll go ahead and stop this I'll actually go ahead and minimize this the video stops automatically put these off to the side let's do some multi screen action let's do the exact same thing we were doing before there that is here's hangouts down below and this is great but say you're watching the let me see if I can actually yeah I know I know these aren't real all right fine well we're gonna go into messaging then and messaging is going to be our substitute for for hangouts don't go there we go alright so Maria Brown yes well you know it's alright that our meetings gonna be delayed because it's it's fake we say we're watching a video and we see something compelling in the description on the video or in the comments say and you want to grab that and drag it into your text message conversation all you do is tap in the little dot dividing the windows and drag and drop content you can just take that whole paragraph bring it down here into the messages boom there that is you send it to Maria suddenly Maria knows why your presentations going to be late probably won't stop you from getting fired by your imaginary boss folks there's a whole lot more new to the Galaxy Note 3 a lot of it cosmetic like the new layout of the S note app here which should help you find your memos save your memos make it all a little bit more exciting a little bit more useful but we're gonna get into those in our in our true deep dive on the software functionality for now this is just a slightly more detailed look at some of the added features Samsung is bringing to the Galaxy Note 3 from day two Editha as we wrap things up we thank you for continuing to watch anton denoted behind the camera and we'll talk to you real soon from pocket now
