what a bs, a subscription, seriously!? for a device to take notes!? it should just be sold as-is, a device, that you can use if you own it, what utter BS is this subscription model!?
I came here to join the outrage, and while I'm definitely raising my eyebrows they are this close to having done it right.
First, the subscription is not mandatory, and in fact you can use the cloud provider of your choice for free. And second, if you do want to make use of the online functions (kids nowadays love their cloud sync) it does make sense that they would charge for them. Space may be cheap nowadays, but it's not free.
I personally would have preferred them to go the other way, presenting it "offline first" and then add "plus all of this extra features" afterwards, as it would save me having to cancel a service I don't want. But at least they do offer a working product without it, which is a rare feature nowadays.
