Samsung is approaching the tablet market in a very different way to its competitors, but perhaps there's some method behind the madness.

Their strategy is to launch everything, and see what sticks, but there were more than a few raised eyebrows when early risers at Mobile World Congress were greeted by a huge banner for a 10.1-inch version of the Galaxy Note.

We had a quick go on the super-sized Note, which you can see in our video:

The tablet isn't much different to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, with a sleek thin body, 1280x800 screen, but has the additional S-Pen, the stylus which is used to draw, write and interact with device.

Under the hood is a Samsung 1.4GHz dual-core processor, which is much better than the 1GHz version found on the newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, presumably to handle the rigours of content creation and image processing.

There's also a 3MP camera, should you want to capture images, and the Galaxy Note 10.1 also ships with Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung is set to aim the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 at artists and creative people, who want to draw, edit, manipulate images and create, rather than consuming video, games and apps- which of course, you can do as well.

As if to illustrate- excuse the pun- its commitment to creativity, Samsung has bundled mobile versions of Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas, which genuinely offer a creative tablet experience.

We were big fans of the original 5-inch Samsung Galaxy Note, but one aspect that disappointed us was rather dubious handwriting recognition, when using the S-Pen.

That seems to have improved on the 10.1-inch version. Be it the software or just writing on a larger surface area, we were able to scrawl notes quickly, and have the accurately changed into editable text.

When we did make a mistake, with a drawing or note taking, turning the S-Pen upside down meant it could be used an as eraser, which was a very natural experience.

One bug-bear is that there's no slot for the stylus, something we've criticised other tablet devices for in the past. Yes, adding a slot could add bulk to the device, and Samsung is selling a range of accessories which can house the pen, but we'd still like a more integrated solution.
