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_.

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

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.

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

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

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

Because people create IP on their tablets.
