Some Answers (in order):
- You need two hands to type most things - one hand to hold the phone.
- A Stylus can be a very versatile tool - I'd love to have Pencil Support on an iPhone
- Doesn't look uncomfortable
- The search/handwriting recognition technology is there - don't worry about it.
- Depends how you file it - you still have to file contacts if you want to keep things accessible quickly.
- Not really - especially if you're typing with one hand as in your first point.
Bonus answer. You don't have to write with a stylus, but it's good to have the option.
- screenshot shows the man typing in the contacts with only one hand.
- i wouldn't want pencil support on an iphone. rather have the production budget going towards something else like a promotion display
- writing without palm rest is uncomfortable from my experience. try writing a page of words without resting your palm
- filing that samsung note as contacts adds extra steps
- i can type faster with one hand than what you can do with a stylus.

Hey, I got Japan on the phone here. They're laughing, but I keep hearing the word "infrared" mentioned.
what?

That's not even close to how the Note works. Here's how it works: While the phone is off, pull out S-pen, write name & phone number down on the screen. Put the pen away. Done. When you're ready to call that person, open up the written note and call the number directly from there.
that's terrible. so writing your contact "as a note" means:
- you can't use smart assistants to call that person
- you now have two places to search: contact vs notes library
- your contact isn't synced via gmail. so if you were on your computer, you wouldn't be able to find that contact (at least not that easily)
so no, i rather have my contacts filed under the contact library instead of in my notes.

I think this a proof of concept. You can show data entry in a moment here versus something like a classroom setting taking notes would take more time to convey in a commercial. When you’re commercial cost is by the millisecond (idk exactly how they’re billed but I know the longer the commercial the more expensive), that makes a lot of sense.
if that were the case, probably writing down and comparing chemistry notes would make more sense since that involves a lot more drawing.

- It depends on who you are, writing can be much faster for many people than typing.
- You absolutely can search handwritten notes (depending on the app you use).
- The stylus actually has many benefits over trying to draw something by hand, no it isn't always used, but it is nice to have it when you need it.
- Some apps will also automatically create contacts as you write the information in.
- It is also very handy to be able to pull out a stylus and take a note without having to unlock the phone and start an app first.
- drawing diagrams? sure, writing is a lot faster. but writing down things that a keyboard can do? keyboard is generally faster than handwriting. just compare WPM on a keyboard vs handwriting and you'll see keyboard is much faster (unless you're fairly new to typing)
- but it won't be filed and sync with your gmail contacts. which means you can't call using smart assistants or grab that contact easily on a computer
- it's nice for drawing diagrams like i mentioned previously, but not for contact taking
- these apps are a lot slower than doing it the regular way. it took me a little over 10 seconds to create a new contact. i dont think using handwriting + OCR is faster/easier
- looks easy enough on the iphone:
