I see a product called X2Net OneStore scheduled for Bits du Jour for 26th June.
Looking at the website (http://www.x2net.com/onestore/) it seems to be a OneNote/Evernote competitor.
Has anybody any experience with it/comments about it?

I noticed that application too. I had never heard of it before. I’ve just downloaded and plan to give it a spin. It seems to be focused on scanned-in documents, although not just for that. I like the feature it has of being able to print to its database. That’s a very handy feature on many Mac apps.

Okay, I loaded this application and tried it for a few minutes. This may sound crazy but I could not figure out how to create and type a note. There are all sorts of ways to capture information from other sources, but there does not appear to be any way to create information within OneStore itself. Am I missing something? If this is indeed the case, its all but worthless.

Hmmm, nor me. The only way I could add anything was to “capture” the clipboard text and then add something to the notes item.
A very weird limitation and, as you say, it make it pretty useless for most purposes I can think of.

I posted a question about this to their forum. This is their reply:
“Actually I think it is more of an oversight. We have designed it to store items of information and not as a replacement for Notebook. As you said, you can store things are from many sources including storing a notebook text file or text from the clipboard. However, you can’t write your own text directly into an item.
Maybe it is something we will add in the next release; I’ll add it to the suggestions list”
