Sounds like a deep examination (which the application indeed deserves). Looking forward to reading it!

Strange decision. Their loss. Great shame.

Yes, I think it is - and possibly even more powerful. The desktop app is not complete, yet - it doesn’t have a search function, for example, or support the password-protection function in the iOS app. But it is a great way to store data (the HTML files can be searched easily enough from within Windows), and of course all data can be searched/sorted very comprehensively on one’s iPad.

Steve,
Thank you for the reply. I, too, use PI on the iPad and my Android phone, so I can relate to the feeling of redundancy. But, I did find these two programs a good alternative for project-based note-taking and task management. PI (combined with Toodledo) is for my personal use.

I just want to correct something I wrote about Cotton that was wrong. I said that when I tried to send a document from Dropbox to Cotton, it didn’t work. Actually it did. I was expecting to see the document text open in Cotton, but what Cotton did instead was to add the document to the list of attachments. This may be less useful, but appears to be the expected behavior.

I have an Ipad3 and an iTouch. I’ve found that synchronizing data between 2 devices on Dropbox (and originally in iCloud) to be pretty flaky. On a single device, I think it may be a nice experience.
