Version 2.0 is now available, and it includes some impressive improvements (in their words):
Simplenote synchronization - Finally you’ll be able to access your notes from your mobile device! (Commercial)
Tabbed notebook sections - Divide your notebook into colorful sections! (Up to 3 sections in the free version, unlimited number of sections in the licensed version.
Linking notes with each other - Now you can link notes together! More than that, now you can place a link to a CN note into any rich-text enabled app! (Commercial)
It is still on sale for half off. Info here:

Steve, I’m intrigued by CintaNotes. But I’m wondered if it’s a case of CRIMP.
I already use Evernote, which frustrates me because its information management features are few, and it doesn’t allow me to highlight text.
Why would I/should I consider the professional edition of CintaNotes, beside the fact it’s on sale, and because future development may include images and highlighting?
Thanks.
Daly

Daly,
Please don’t mistake my announcement postings about CintaNotes as endorsements. I own a copy, but do not use it much. Which also should not be seen as a reflection on the program. It is a very appealing application, mostly, I think, because of its simplicity. It some ways, it reminds me of the old Evernote, the one that relied on the scrolling roll (AKA Toilet Paper) model.
Another reason to use it would be if you have an app you like on another platform (say Tinderbox on the Mac) which syncs to SimpleNote. Then CintaNote could be your PC/Windows client, now that it syncs with SN.
Anyway, I’m sure Gary has other reasons he likes it… how about it, Gary?

Gary sums it up perfectly. But I found I wasn’t using it a huge amount until the latest version came out. The support for tabs (of which you can select one to be the default ‘clippings’ tab) is brilliant, and turns it into a much more flexible app. The support for SimpleNote is also welcome, although the sync doesn’t always work flawlessly. It’s gone back into my ‘indispensable’ list of utilities (i.e. stuff that loads on startup).
