I know that it admits some courts of limited jurisdiction, but you are correct -- MS Chancery Court would seem to be big enough to be included. That's surprising. -Jeff

You are correct. There was a problem, but the link has now been fixed. You may need to clear your browser cache or load the page from a different browser to see the correct form. I'm in contact with Connected Data about this and will be posting more about the contest very soon.

What you are asking about is a software question, not a question related to the Jot Pro or any other stylus. In every note taking app that I have used, yes you can turn off the zoom box for times when you want to just draw directly on the page. And you can also usually change the size of the zoom box to make it the right size for something like a scientific equation. The only issue is that you cannot be as precise when you are not using the zoom box because the iPad is designed to recognize a "tip" the size of your finger, not a fine tip like you would find on a pen.

Lately I've been using GoodNotes, but it works fine on an iPad mini. I like that the mini is easier to hold in your hand. Yes, you have a smaller area to write your notes, but that doesn't pose much of a problem. I suspect that my experiences would also be true with Notes Plus.

Yes. I just did that last night, in fact. It is interesting to show a video on the small iPad mini screen while you hear booming sound coming out of the Bose speaker. -Jeff

I used this product for two years and never saw a problem with it charging my iPhone. In the Fall of 2012, I got an iPhone 5 with the Lightning connector, so I no longer use this device to charge my iPhone while I am driving, but I do still use it as a Bluetooth speaker in my car and it continues to work great for that.

Apple typically comes out with only one iPhone model a year. The iPhone 5 came out last Fall, so I don't think that we'll see another iPhone model until much later this year. In my opinion, they are not "due" for a hardware release anytime sooner. Plus, Apple CEO Tim Cook's statements in the last earnings call indicated that we wouldn't see new products until later this year.

I just tried it again, and it worked fine for me.

You can move a Transporter from one network to another network -- such as from your home to your office or from one office to another one. That works fine. What you cannot do is remove a hard drive from a Transporter and try to read the hard drive using a different Transporter. The second Transporter will erase and reformat the hard drive. The idea is that a thief cannot access the data on your Transporter because he lacks access privileges, and that is true whether he access the Transporter on your own network or picks up the Transporter and moves it to his network. Moreover, if a thief were to yank out the hard drive and try to access it via a Transporter unit owned by the thief, that wouldn't work either.

I haven't tried that, but I believe yes. In fact, if you are setting up a second Transporter to serve as a backup to your first one, one of the hints is to start with them both on the same network, so the first backup with a fast local Ethernet connection, and then move the second Transporter to the remote location where it will make future updates to just the files that are changed.

You can edit footnotes too.

Excellent question. See this thread from 1Password for some answers: http://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/12306/master-password-usb-sync-two-factor -Jeff

Just tap the plus sign at the top left of the screen to add a page above or below the current page, and if you want you can choose a different template for the inserted page.

Your experience is similar to what Melissa Brown said in her guest post this past August: http://www.iphonejd.com/iphone_jd/2012/08/review-logitech-ultrathin-keyboard-cover.html -Jeff

I presume that you mean that you downloaded the iPhone app. You have to have a Rocket Matter account to use the app.

It doesn't look replaceable to me. I tried to pull of the current tip, and while I didn't pull too hard because I didn't want to break it, it didn't seem like it wanted to come off.

Use the select lasso to move stuff around.

The software is the main difference. The Transporter is not just an online hard drive. The software gives you fast local access to files, and your local folders are synced in the background to the Transporter. There are also lets of options for sharing folders, for backing up folders to another Transporter, etc. But the hardware is different too, such as the ability to easily install your own drive, or swap out a drive to update it.

drainey: I don't believe that PDF Expert can change the text in a document. PDFpen for iPad can do that. But frankly, that isn't a feature that I use very often. The main reason for me to work with PDF documents is to work with a static version of a document. Sure, I will annotate it, highlight, circle, underline, etc., but if I virtually never want to change the document itself on the iPad. If I was going to change the document, I'd go back to the software that created it, such as MS Word. But again, if this feature matters to you, check out PDFpen for iPad.

I don't know if I would call it a "drag" or not. On the one hand, the Jot Pro is pretty smooth against the screen. On the other hand, I do find that I am compelled to write a little slower with the Jot Pro than with the Bamboo Stylus — and perhaps for this very reason, I find that my penmanship is better and more precise with the Jot Pro. The mesh type tip, such as on the BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive Stylus that I reviewed on May 8, 2012, has MUCH less drag and you can write much more quickly on the screen. But I find both the Wacom Bamboo Stylus and the Adonit Jot Pro better for taking handwritten notes, so I don't use that EverTouch stylus very much. -Jeff

Vinnie -- just plug the VGA cord into this adapter, then plug the Lightning connector in to your iPad or iPhone. Very simple!

No, the Jot Pro is not pressure sensitive. In my opinion, if you are taking notes, you don't need that feature. But if you are being artistic — drawing or "painting" — then I can understand how pressure sensitivity could be useful. I have not yet reviewed a stylus that is pressure sensitive, but there are several out there.

Excellent point. The fact that you can pay monthly fees only as you need it is great. Having said that, I suspect that most people who have the option will find themselves using the service almost every month.

The hardware is similar I suppose. It is the software that makes this different, making it easy to share select folders with full encryption, the ability to use multiple devices for backup and redundancy, etc.
