It would be a great app if it's fully implemented on the PPC.

That would be too bad if true as this sounds like a very promising app. Anyone know?

As a heavy user of OneNote on my Toshiba M205 TabletPC, I've got to echo Ed on this one. I really LOVE how OneNote works for note taking, it's orders-of-magnitude better than paper notes. However, when I sit and try to use PocketWord for the same kind of mixed handwritten text/drawing notes, the experience is so inefficient it makes me want to get a spiral notebook and a pen! The cludge "mode switching" on PW is a huge step backwards from ON.

Indeed it (Newton that is) did do a lot of this many years ago.

I guess this is a reminder to me to get off my butt and finish the comparision of Newton Notes (the Newton note taking app of course ) and some of the available PPC note taking apps that I have been promising our very understanding Thoughts Review Team Co-ordinator for some time now.....

I've drawn (freehand written) in Notes and Word and if I've had to scroll for more space the graphic jumbles when I scroll back up. OS bug? (PPC 2002 in my case.) A pretty hard result when you really needed the original scribbling. "Oops, what was that phone number, name, directions to the place?"

I use PhatPad for this purpose. The only drawback is that it doesn't (yet) have a desktop viewer/editor for the notes it creates. V2 should be out next month, though, and a desktop component is supposed to be released then.

the phatpad integration of graphics and text is not very elegant though. if this is like their ritemail engine, it might be better.

Since the EverNote CEO used to work on the Newton OS it's no wonder the app looks so much like Newton Notes - even better and it shows.

It's only surprising it took so long.

OTOH the pix on their site and their text implies PPCs will feature the "full" version because it lists:

<<Input: PCs, Tablet PCs, electronic pens, screen and graphics tablets, touch-screens, PDAs, smartphones, cameras, scanners. >>

Thanks for the heads up on this. I signed up to be notified. I am using OneNote on a notebook and I really would like two way intergration with the PPC. If this can do it, well maybe it can replace OneNote for me.

Good stuff! I hope it lives up to its specifications.

This could be the first app to come along in a long time to really get me excited about my PPC again. I sure hope this lives up to my expectations!

Just noticed that the public beta is now up for downloading from http://www.evernote.com/en/downloads/. It's only the Windows version though - no sign of the PPC version as yet :cry:
