Funnily enough I discovered accidentally that iPad Notes syncs with Gmail. Once I looked under the Notes label in my Gmail and all my iPod Touch and iPod notes were there! I imagine it was set up automatically when I set up my Gmail on my iPod and iPad. The somewhat blandly named Notebook for iPad (which might be confused with the native Notes app in iPad) looks excellent indeed. But I haven’t made the plunge yet because I still like the Gmail sync (between the iPad and iPad and the Gmail cloud) from where I can easily copy and paste into other desktop applications such as Whizfolders, where I can turn the notes into a hierarchical outline. I might change my mind once I have hundreds or thousands of notes and organising them into categories might be more pressing. I continue to like CarbonFin for outlining but I ended up not using it as a note-taking app as it’s just easier to write things in Notes.
