Both sound decidedly useful – good call.
I’ve taken to putting my REALLY urgent tasks on it, because I can make lots of notes in the nested task page, but also link to aliases of each task from other pages with enlightened headings such as ‘For goodness sake really don’t forget these’ and so on. And the ability to enlarge and embolden fonts simply makes that more effective.
You can also use it as a vastly cheaper version of that ridiculously expensive ‘Eisenhower Matrix’ app for iOS, Mac, Windows etc., too, using the grid function (can’t remember its name, offhand – oh yes I can, it’s called Priority Matrix, and used to be relatively lightweight and fun). Not that I can take the Eisenhower Matrix concept too seriously - but my son uses it religiously.
Once this is capable of syncing, it’ll be my go-to ‘jot it down in a jiffy’ app, I can tell! As it is, it already has pride of place on one of my iPads…

Now, all we need to compete with that for the ‘CRIMPing Gem of the Year’ trophy would be an iOS and/or desktop version of Gingko… ;-)

Ah, so that is what ‘universal’ means now?

Sorry, Alexander, I should of course have written “Universal”, which is Apple-speak for “compatible with all iOS devices but nothing else, unless the developer has wimped out and decided that other platforms are almost as important as Apple’s, like those wishy-washy Wunderlist people, ahahahaha”.
Think different, eh… ;-)

Mind you, if thinking different is what brings you the wonderful new MacBook, then hey, you can think as different as you like!
Journos are already complaining about the price. To buy an equivalent Windows ultrabook, you’d be spending at least half as much again. But hey, it’s Apple, so it’s GOT to be more expensive than anybody else, right? right?
But I want one already.
