That's what he said.

Hmm, yeah, I don't have it yet here in Australia. I tend to prefer SwiftKey anyway, but this looks like a pretty handy feature!

Nova. I actually really like the One UI launcher anyway, but I'm just used to Nova. Mostly just the extra gestures and the bigger home grid. Not interested much in the cosmetic tweaks it's able to make.

But yeah, One UI is quite good too. I got used to it back when Android gesture nav didn't play nice with 3p launchers.

Thanks, bot. Three of the four suggestions are what I already said I'm not looking for, and as 'you' noted, the fourth isn't available on Android — regardless of it maybe potentially possibly being in the works.

I also can't find any evidence that an Android version of Spectre is in the works...

I hear you, but at the same time, there are so few apps I want to use on a tablet more than I'd prefer to use it on my phone – which is likewise always with me.

Reading comics, watching video, editing photos, drawing, reading meal recipes on the kitchen bench... that's about the extent of my tablet use. Browsing social media? I'd rather do it on my phone. Productivity, notes, gaming? Even that, I'd rather do on my phone – if not my Macbook, of course.

So it's been a pretty easy decision for me to stick with Android tablets, especially Samsung, which obviously ties in well with my S23U.

It does, yeah, but not giving it to you is part of how they've sold so many iPads. Think of how many parents and couples would be happy with one shared multi-user iPad instead of having to buy one for each user.

Aaah, of course. Yeah, none of the options gave me that older picker, apart from Disabled of course.

Apart from Disabled, I tried each of these and didn't get a picker with an overflow menu. Disabled is the only one that allowed me to get to the system media picker.

It is, but I find Infinite Painter is largely up to the task for most of my drawing needs — and what it lacks aren't significant enough reasons to splash out on an ipad.

I prefer my Tab S8 over my 2019 iPad Pro, because all I use my tablet for is editing photos and watching media — but because it has user profiles, I can also share it with my young kids and control their app and content access, etc. So, Android is a very easy win for me in that regard.

Briefly thought this was saying that Android was finally getting a native notes app as capable as Apple's notes app...

I use my S Pen a lot, but never for writing. It's generally just photo editing, sketching, annotation, etc. I'll be bloody sad if Samsung ever ditches the silo!

Looks great! I'll be watching the progress on this one, for sure. Keep us updated!
