I sew and I have made this awesome rig for her. It has a zip pocket for my phone, a pouch for receipts and coupons, pockets for credit cards and driver license and a loop for an ink pen. Load it up and I am armed for the day.

Contacts not only has my friends and family complete information including addresses for sending cards and packages, but I also have my car service, doctors, schools, favourite stores with addresses, phone numbers and hours with notes for things I need to do next time I visit.

The Calendar I use for all the usual stuff, but I want to tell you how awesome it is to just click on a day and jot "pick up dry cleaning" on the note side without having to pick a time slot and choose reminders and recurrences and whatever else before I can save it.

I keep a file open in MaplePaint called quicknotes. I just flip it open, unlock and jot down whatever while still walking unlike my iPad toting friends who have to invoke an awkward size keypad and assume the position.

We bought a fixer-upper house and I keep a journal for each room with notes, measurements, sketches, etc. When I am out and about if I see an item or decorating idea I snap a quick pic and tag it to that room.

I also have a perpetual grocery list in journal with pages for produce, dairy, meats, etc. I just add and remove items as needed.

I downloaded the Kindle app so now I have a choice of reading on the eInk or if light is low, use the LCD. I am addicted to the puzzle games, too.

Anyone who has ever used a Day Runner type organizer would absolutely fall in love with the PE. I kind of think they shouldn't have named it Pocket Edge - it wouldn't fit in any pocket I have. It's my Personal Entourage.

BTW - my daughter has an EE for school and absolutely loves it.
FYI, I use a shopping list app called "Out of Milk," which is quite good. The nice thing about using something like that rather than a journal list is that it saves frequently used items or whole lists that you might want to use again. I'm pretty sure it's available through SlideMe.
