I've downloaded and app for my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet called Tabnotes (on the Android Marketplace). The app was quite inexpensive at under $3.00, but it has a demo companion that's free. The demo puts a large watermark on each page saying that it's produced by Tabnotes, so I went ahead and sprung for the three bucks.

I don't have a capacitive stylus yet, so I'm not sure how well it will perform regarding palm rejection, but just using my finger it works quite well.

The app supports multiple pen weights and colors, and has a mode to write directly on the screen as well as another mode that presents a separate box to write in that provides a little better formatting of your writing, e.g. line wrapping, and pinning lines to ruler lines on the paper. There is a choice of notebook cover styles as well as paper styles so a little creativity in style choices can go a long way towards filing different subjects.

It produces multi page notebooks in .png format, but has a feature that exports all the pages in a notebook in a .pdf file. It relies on email to send the .pdfs (I don't think the demos supports this) or single page .pngs and so far does not support either Dropbox or Evernote, but the developer seems to be very responsive, so I'd not be surprised to see these in future revisions.

The app is only a couple of months old, so the dev has not gotten everything right regarding the UI yet, but I have high hopes that this could be exactly what I need to take and organize notes from the myriad of meetings that I attend each week.
