Four months ago, when I reviewed the new iPhones, I called the 6 Plus the perfect smartphone. Is that still true, even after four months of use? I’ve had the 6 Plus since it launched in September. Using a review model for three weeks absolutely convinced me that the 6 Plus was the way to go, so I took the plunge and purchased my first giant phone with my own money and haven’t regretted it since.

It may look like a notebook, but the Betabook is something quite different. It’s a portable whiteboard, a rewritable dry erase surface with a book form factor that gives you all the advantages of a whiteboard on the go. Why not just carry around a notebook for jotting down your thoughts and sketches? Or, for that matter, why not look into some of the other portable whiteboards out there?
