On the subject of having a camera... this Note 8.0 is my digital sketchbook, work diary and general productivity assistant. If I see a nice shape or colours on something I like, I take a few quick snaps of it for sketching or lifting the colours. If I need to show a client the mechanical details of a project I'm doing, I take a few snaps, annotate, and email them off. If I'm reading up on painting techniques in a book I've borrowed from someone else, I photograph the pages I find useful.
How can you say the camera isn't useful? You want me to pull out a phone and then transfer the pics to my tablet... how inconvenient, and besides... my phone has been gathering dust since getting my Note because it just does it all - it's replaced my phone and I could care less what I look like using it.
A flash would be great because then low light conditions would no longer be an issue.
