Using The Galaxy Note As A Computer (With Accessories) [ColdFustion]

Key Takeaways

ignorance is BL always good day guys so I've just had some questions recently actually about um the uh accessories I use for my Galaxy Note so in this video I'm kind of just going to show you the accessories that I have for my Galaxy Note as well as put links in the description so the first one I have is an rwi mini Bluetooth controller um you want to make sure that you get the Bluetooth control um Bluetooth version of this controller actually when you uh get it off eBay because um there is two versions of this controller and uh one of them is infrared I'm pretty sure so you'll be very disappointed if you got that by accident but I'll put the link anyway so you can't make a mistake um yeah so basically what this is is it's a full uh quy keyboard with a uh mouse pad and a uh clicker and pointing device built in so that's pretty cool to have all those in one um but uh yeah sorry for the people who have seen this in action before but um you know for the new people just wanted to show them what this is all about so yeah I think uh you can pick one of these up for about uh 60 Australian dollar I'll have to check on that but um yeah you can uh obviously play uh N64 games uh and all the games of the mapped with a keypad um built in so when the developers have put um mapping or enabled mapping for you know wireless controllers this will work with all of those so um yeah that's pretty cool you can um obviously play all the games that um on the Fly for the Bluetooth control so that's um that's pretty awesome um but unfortunately it doesn't work for all games out there um moving along I have also a uh micro USB T USB connector so this is um pretty uh handy actually cuz you can connect um anything that has a USB um output kind of thing so I have a uh a USB stick here I think it's um 16 gigs or 32 not really sure anyway um regardless you can just plug it into to the uh phone actually just like that and um you know it just reads off the data that you have on your USB stick so you know if you're into reading documents on your phone you can do that um and the Galaxy Note is a pretty good reader because it has a quite a large screen so that's um pretty handy and obviously you got all your videos and whatever you have you can just browse them and um just Whi them up like that so you know that's once again a pretty pretty cool thing with that accessory and adding to that I also have a uh miniature Mouse um I'm not sure where I got this I think um my dad just had it lying around so I kind of just used it and um I just was just testing to see if it would actually work and to my surprise without any rooting any um you know cust or like hacking or anything you know it just recognizes it straight like that so that's um pretty cool to have a mouse that um and having a screen like uh you know kind of like a desktop feel so kind of transforming um the Galaxy Note into more and more of a Computing device rather than just a tablet or a phone so um you know I've got a app called over screen here and um uh it's just got an update to actually get new tabs going so I well as a side point I recommend downloading this overc screen uh browser application actually cuz it's um yeah really really good uh moving on I have a smartphone stand which I got off eBay um now this is the Clincher ear because um I was always a bit disappointed how um the Galaxy Note didn't have a kickstand and I've kind of missed out twice cuz my old HTC HD2 didn't have a kickstand either and then the Evo got so I was a bit jealous but anyway so I got um I got one of these stands and you know it's actually pretty brilliant for just like uh sitting back and watching some movies or you know just browsing the web using the mouse and keyboard or whatever cuz um now the device kind of is more and more like a um like a Computing device now so you know just looking at it here it's um pretty cool like um you know I've got the dual screens open you know so you can copy and paste different things into whatever and um you know once again it's on the stand so like uh you can view all your stuff pretty uh easily now and um it's got quite a good viewing angle and if you wanted I guess you could output this to uh HDMI out onto a monitor which I might actually do later in another video but anyway so um yeah that's pretty cool just having uh that extra utility there so that's a good um good accessory to have and also I've just got a couple of screen protectors um that I picked up from eBay I think it was like something crazy like uh a dollar for three of them so I kind of just use that and um uh to protect my screen really and it's um it gets a few scratches but that's okay cuz you know um that generally is what screen protectors are for it's um yeah it's really good and as you can see you can kind of tell that I've got a screen protector on at the moment so yeah um once you get all these things uh your Galaxy Note will go from this a tablet to kind of a a freak of nature in the um technology sense because um um it really has absolutely everything now and um you can kind of like if if you wanted you could use this as a standalone PC uh just sit everything on your desk so you can browse the web um go on the internet download files and pluging USBS and stuff like that and um you know you've got no worries to worry about there so you know that's just a cool thing that um once again this Galaxy Note is capable of so um as a side point I've got a uh USB expander it's um expands from 1 USB to four so you can put up to four things into the same ports in other news I have a Blog as well now uh so if you want you can leave any suggestions that you want in a uh suggestion box uh the blog's still an alpha stage at the moment I'm just kind of testing this out but um that's how this video came about actually cuz one guy suggested that I should do a video on Galaxy Note accessories so there you go but anyway if you like this
