Note Taking Software

Is there anything out there like Microsoft OneNote for PPC/Windows Mobile?

Doh! Took the words right out of my mouth! PhatPad is hands down, my favorite notetaking software. It's like writing with a gel pen. Also, you can playback your writing and see it rewrite it! Really cool stuff here.

I'll second PhatPad....I scribble notes about a dozen times a day to it.

I totally agree gq_fuzion on PhatPad. After tried it for several hours, I immediately bought it. I use it almost daily, taking notes on meetings that I attended, scribble my daily thoughts. Even my 4 year old son likes it so much that he always ask to borrow my X30 so that he can draw something on PhatPad.

PhatPad v. OneNote

I agree PhatPad is pretty Phantastic. [Sorry, couldn't resist.]


But it comes nowhere near OneNote in its features. And it would be awesome to be able to have all of one's OneNote files synched with a Pocket PC. It has to be one of the best research tools out there [as a PhD student finishing his thesis and part-time consultant, I will attest to that].

As for EverNote, it is also a useful tool and I hope they do come out with their proposed Pocket PC version. But I find its means of organization too cumbersome for my style. But that might be partly due to personal preference.

I've already written the OneNote people to suggest a Pocket PC version is needed and I suggest others who might be interested do the same.

In the meantime, PhatPad will probably have to do. There are other notes programs as well, however. ADBIdea has some neat features, but for reasons I can barely remember I stopped using it. A search on the internet should bring-up a host of programs. But for straight notes (and doodles), PhatPad will usually be your best bet.

Also, remember that OneNote will automatically bring in the Notes you make with the Pocket PC native Notes program, if you have it all set-up to synchronize Notes with Outlook. [The automated path is Notes (on Pocket PC) to Outlook to OneNote, as I understand it.]

Good Luck! :)

PhatPad would be nice if it were not so expensive.

It is kinda expensive. But, I'll try it before I buy it.

Evernote

This app has been released. Been in public beta since last October 2004.
They plan to have a PPC/Palm release in the next couple of months. Of course, with software, timing could change.
I've been using it and find it very useful.

They have a very active user forum.
