If it phones home to China count me out. I’ll go for the reMarkable tyvm

I can just see me working on a brilliant invention (one can dream , right?) and putting my notes into the note boox, only to realize it gets patented before me by a Chinese company.

I know that this is obvious, but worth noting.

This anxiety is not just China as a destination, but it just as relevant if it phones home to any company in any _country_.

[tomComb]

I don't agree. Remarkable is based in Norway and I have more confidence in a Norwegian companies handling of my data.

[Aeolun]

Maybe not just as relevant, but certainly still annoying.

About 1 billion Chinese customers think the same like you, except they refuse products that phone home to USA.

[PaulRobinson]

US (and EU, and indeed everywhere else), companies do not have as long and detailed a recent track record of IP theft.

[msie]

Don't forget that Facebook and Google steal all sorts of information about you too.

[est]

And that's relevant with customer choice because?

[eloisant]

Because you might be taking work-related notes on your device that you don't want to be stolen as industrial spying.

[selectodude]

Because people create IP on their tablets.

[radlad]

Makes sense? After all, you're crossing legal jurisdictions.

[bserge]

As they are free to do.
