      Our MDM policies prevent us from turning off auto-lock. Which is a good thing in my case, as I'd only forget to turn it back on after the meeting and would then leave the device on the train on my way home.

        The biggest problem I have with using a tablet for note taking in meetings is the lock screen. You go to write something and your tablet has automatically locked itself. So you have to unlock it. Which takes about ten seconds.

        10 seconds? do you have to enter a 37 character password?

          I should time my time to get back in but ten seconds isn't unrealistic. Gotta swipe the screen, type password, have it unlock....

                two seconds I can totally believe - and i don't consider unreasonable.
                I try to get people around here to lock their computer when they walk away from their desk (about 100 times a day). At 2 seconds each time to get back to the desktop, I'm only adding 200 seconds or 3.3333 mins to their day - yet they complain like I'm cutting off their leg.

                Back to the OP - I use a legal pad when needed (rarely), and tons of post it notes in my office.

                  Post-it notes are Devil's work. When I become CEO banning them will be my first priority.

                      I just timed my iPad 2 with BT keyboard and password not code. Took seven seconds.

                          I'm an iPad2 with pass-code.

                          Regardless of the time, having to unlock a tablet every time you want to jot down a note in a meeting seems to me to be a complete pain.

                            It would like the gesture that I would give it.

                              My "notepad" is either OneNote or Evernote. Evernote is on all my mobile devices and now with O365 web apps, I can use OneNote online from my ODfB/SharePoint site.

                              My phone has a color note app I use when I need personal lists.

                                  Using full passwords with a touch screen makes it slow. No fast way to do it.

                                    Why use a full password on an iPad?

                                        When I do have a password I do a Pin on my ipad/phone (I hated the finger print thing, if I had lotion on it wouldn't work). on my Surface I use the picture thing but again I shut that off before going into a meeting.

                                          can you use the 'picture thing' with a domain logon? Is your SP joined to the domain?

                                            Yes which helps keep it down to seven seconds unless it doesn't sync up. Then it takes far longer.

                                            Having to swipe to unlock then switch to keyboard for the password is jarring and inefficient. That's partly why it takes so long.
