Hi folks:

I am a college professor looking to use my Pocket PC (WM2003 2nd Ed) to prepare my lectures (handwritten notes and equations) and project them out to VGA.

Right now, my setup with iGo's Pitch Duo works great for projecting powerpoints, so I do not have to take my laptop to the classroom (fantastic!!!). However, I want to be able to handwrite my lectures on my PPC screen (3.5) and then be export them (as jpegs or select, cut and paste) them into powerpoint for projection, email them to students, etc.

The native "Notes" on the PPC OS is really not that good, but I am sure there has to be something out there that will allow me to simply write by hand and put on slides.

I am thinking something equivalent to OneNote or Windows Journal, but for the PPC.

Any ideas or suggestions? Its a pretty simple setup what I am trying to achieve: write my notes for class on my PPC, and be able to use manipulate them as objects.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fernando

PhatPad from www.phatware.com works great for notetaking. And if you use Calligrapher from the same company, your handwriting can be converted into text that can be cut/copied/pasted into anyting else.

PhatPad notes can also be saved as jpegs or bmps.

i suggest you to try ADB idea library.
by using this software you can organize your lectures, because it has a tree-view structure, supports multible databases, and drawing, writing,picture modes. plus the application is free.
