If you want something more akin to carrying around a digital legal pad, there's the well proportioned Note 10.1 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review/). But if one note is too small for you, and the other too big, then maybe the Note 8.0 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/23/samsung-galaxy-note-8/) is just right. The mid-sized tablet, announced at MWC, is finally hitting American shores on April 11th for $400. Under the hood are the same powerful internals we got a good look at in Barcelona, including the 2GB of RAM and 1.6GHz quad-core processor. But, sadly, Samsung removed the cellular radios for the US variant -- which means this slate

Well, at least the lack of HSPA+ should mean that the 4,600 mAh battery should last a little bit longer. You'll be able to pick up the Galaxy Note 8.0 in just a few days from all usual suspects (Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, and so on). If you need a proper reminder of all its various specs and features, check out the preview (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/23/samsung-galaxy-note-8-preview/) and the PR after the break.
