That's my number one need now: be able to take notes on my mobile device. Years ago I used Palm devices (Handspring Visor, Palm TX) for that purpose and it was a simple solution, which worked instantly (just press the "note" button) and then painlessly transferred notes between PC and palmtop. Better still, you could choose if you wanted to synchronize your notes with Palm Desktop or MS Outlook.

Then I started using WinMobile and to my horror, the memos on that system work only "sort-of" (anyone who used WinCE or Windows Mobile knows why), while OneNote mobile is just plain useless. I've also tried creating a new Word file (with Textmaker or Word Mobile) for each new note, but this is not an efficient solution.
Presently I use AgileNotes on WinMo, which is much faster than either original Microsoft apps or Textmaker. AgileNotes also stores the notes where I want them, not where MS thinks they should be. However, it lacks a note organisation system.

I also have an Android phone, but still haven't found a simple solution which would enable me to write notes, have them locally on my device, put them in order (date of creation, category etc.) and synchronize with my PC. I don't really need graphic or voice notes, just plain text will do. How is that possible that almost 20 years ago the solution was there, in the antiquated PalmOS world and now there is not a single application for that purpose?
