Hi, Ken,

Glad you’re back and best wishes for continued recovery.

My experience with these apps is on an iPod Touch not an iPad, so my observations may not be entirely relevant. I agree with everything Bill says. His experience of those apps mirrors mine even through the different machines. The one question I think you should ask yourself is if you see the iPad as being the capture tool only, or if you also plan to keep duplicate data on the iPad and PC. The reason I suggest this is it may affect which program you want to use. If you see the iPad as the gateway—the place you type and capture the notes on their way to your PC (really a way station for notes) you might want to choose an app that is really good writing environment, but doesn’t need all the organizing functions of Awesome Note or Notebooks. An application like Nebulous Notes, for example, is highly Dropbox enabled. You can create one document for your meeting, type in the notes, save it to Dropbox, open it back at your PC and then parse the information as you please to your PC applications. In this way, you most reproduce your yellow-pad approach.
