> When notes are maybe just a few lines each, I find it weird, distracting and time consuming to think up a title for the single paragraph that a note typically are.

I think that’s one of the arguments behind Brainstorm’s concept of not having headings distinct from entries. I think that for short notes Brainstorm is ideal, but one might also opt for plain text files and use an application like CatView to search it.

For mobile use, the best note taking application I ever used was Psion’s Jotter; within a single file it would keep separate notes and display their fist lines as a list. Brilliant; I woder whether there’s anything similar in contemporary PDAs.
