I wish to buy a tablet for mainly note taking purpose and browsing.
So I prefer those with active digitizer
Screen size: at least 7". preferably 10"
OS: doesn't matter
Network: 3G not essential but if there its well and good
Good battery backup
Budget: upto 30k
Kindly add your suggestions

Any Tab (Ipad or Android) has a plethora of apps for notetaking ,Evernote being most popular and effective of them all is available for all major Platforms.

Just decide if you want an Ipad or Android tab.
If Android tab is your choice then go for Galaxy Tab 750. or Acer Iconia A502.

I agree that any tab can be used for note-taking. But, A stylus will make more sense.

Galaxy Note would be the best for taking notes but AFAIK it hasn't launched in India.

@ajayritik and @Sujeet: Guys, I am not talking about Galaxy Note GT-N7000 phablet. I was talking about Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet which is yet to launch and it has a 10.1 inch screen.

I think ipad, Galaxy Tab 750 and Acer Iconia A502 dont have an active digitizer
Correct me if I am wrong

HTC flyer is an option but its not available in the retail stores and many web sites

HTC Flyer Handwriting Test - YouTube

If its better than a capacitive screen then I can go for AKASH or the BSNL tab

If you are going to use touchscreen for the first-time, Go ahead with aakash or pantel. If you are using a capacitive touchscreen device, Dont even think of them. I have a Samsung Champ and my bro has a Sony LWW. I have used both, back-to-back. I feel bad about my phone's touchscreen after using LWW
