Hi Bill,

Reading your post here, as well as your recommendation of ThinkBook in another thread, makes me wonder if you are on commission with Apple! ;) I am still determining if there is an easy way to incorporate Carbonfin or Notebooks fo iPad into my use of Pocket Informant and Toodledo. I would like an outliner with multiple levels of subtasks that can also create checklists, and both of these programs offer unique takes on these needs. The real question is how easy or hard it wil be to introduce them into a mullti-OS workflow. I am assuming that I will also want to add a program like GoodReader, iAnnotate or Readdle to help with file management, but first things first.

I was going to also consider ThinkBook with these programs, but it seems to have garnered some critical reviews, and it does not offer the features that I am seeking. Reading iOS app reviews is quite interesting. Some authors seem to never have met an app that they did not like! I seriously wonder how much due diligence some of these reviewers exercise when they “review” these apps. A very close friend who has written a couple of iOS apps seemed to beleive that it was a “pay to play” system when it came to reviews. I’ll probably end up buying both apps, but thankfully they are not expensive. Now if I could only get my Google Calendar to correctly share data with other programs!!!
