This looks like a fun way to keep track of your information jotting sessions!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.handango.com/include/pictures/513/bmcppc.gif" /><br /><br />"Personalize your Pocket PC handheld with BugMe! Comics, a special bundle including BugMe! PLUS Comic Zipnotes - a collection of 50 fun notepads and reminders featuring Garfield and more. BugMe! Comics includes a full-featured, registered version of BugMe!, the popular note-taking software from Electric Pocket. BugMe! lets you jot down quick handwritten notes on your Pocket PC. <br /><br />Comic Zipnotes features these popular comic characters: Garfield, Ziggy, Cathy, Bizarro, Captain RibMan and Pat Oliphant's Punk. This fun stationery covers a range of practical uses: alarms, appointments, check lists and reminders, each with a fun comic image. BugMe! and Comic Zipnotes are a snap to use: just launch BugMe!, pick a note and scribble your thoughts, right on the screen."<br /><br />Seems a little expensive at $29.95 (affiliate link above), but you can take a trial for a spin.

Seems a little expensive at $29.95 [...]

I bet that's due to licensing the characters. If they aren't licensed, it'd be pretty stupid to release - especially commercially.

Yeah, $29.95 is kinda expensive for a notepad/alarm software, the normal Bugme! version costs $19.95 (But still too expensive IMHO). Of course cartoon character licenses isn't cheap so maybe that would explain the price.

Resco has a similar program like that which is cheaper (costs only $14.95) and is way much better than BugMe!

If you want to use the comics to send handwritten email messages from your Pocket PC you may want to take a look at Electric Pocket's Pixer (http://www.electricpocket.com/products/pixer.html) application. The product comes with a 50 pack of Zipnotes including the comics ones. I wrote a review (http://www.pocketpclife.co.uk/featureddetails.asp?article=122) of this application if you want more information on it.

I bought BugMe too, but it just was too buggy. It caused an error when exiting + the alarms didn't work. Resco Stickies replaced it nicely. :)
