I don't see anything about a wrist guard in that app....I need that, I'm left handed.

There is one in smartNote.

I am taking a look at: Notebooks for iPad $8.99

Notebooks for iPad allows you to conveniently write, capture and organize your ideas, notes, reminders, journals, diaries or details of life that you want to keep close at hand. If you need to take an important note, or search for one, you'll always have the ultimate notebook at your fingertips!

YAHDAH YAHDAH....

Be very careful in investigating this one. Right now I don't think this is worth $0.99 for the iPad much less $9.

At first glance this is another warmed over iPhone application masquerading as as an iPad application. I am trying to figure it out.

Thanx, Ill save my $9 and continue to use Easy Notes Pro for iPad

I need a good note taking app as well, I'm currently using notebook for iPad and it's working well for me.

Ok I'm sorry to mislead you (according to you) but I want to make a point that notemaster is still the best app out their for notes (and it will be supported by ipad soon). It got the staff choice award and the best new app award too and that should say it all. If you purely want an ipad app then give it some time to update but you won't be disapointed

The whole point is that with respect, NoteMaster isn't even close to the real iPad apps for taking notes. You simply have not looked at tons of better apps. I know because I have TRIED and USE the iPad to take notes with them all. One of my favorites is SoundPaper which syncs your notes to audio in real time. You can start and stop the audio recording as you take notes too. Tap on text in a page and hear what was being said at that instant! Scrub back and forth with slider on playback bar. Then you can email both notes and audio to others. If you get tired you can stop typing notes, tap the sleep button and continue recording covertly, no one is the wiser!

Smartnote does not sync with audio like SoundPaper but it has some amazing features in the new iPad version 1.3.

SoundPaper got a point upgrade with new features today. It got synced drawing support so you can take both typed notes and make diagrams linked to the audio all on one page.

Read the itunes app store for more notes on SoundPaper

SoundPaper is the best way to take notes on your iPad.
It tracks what you type and draw while recording audio, so you'll never worry about missing an important detail.
While playing back your recording, just tap a word; SoundPaper will jump right to that point in the audio.
If you need to use another document or app, SoundPaper will automatically pause the recording. When you come back, just tap the "Record" button. SoundPaper will continue from where you left off.
Use SoundPaper's powerful drawing tool for quick sketches. It's easy to edit them, too. Tap a drawing to select it, or tap twice to select an individual stroke. From there, you can drag it to wherever you want, or tap "Delete" to get rid of it. Use two fingers to zoom and scroll.
SoundPaper is perfect for students. If you ever fall asleep in class, don't worry — SoundPaper's got your back. Just tap what you wrote while you were awake, and SoundPaper will play the audio to help you fill in the blanks.
SoundPaper is also great for journalists. Ever miss an important detail during an interview and have to skim through your entire recording to find out what it was? With SoundPaper, just tap a word from that part of the interview — it'll play back what you missed.
When you're done, share your text, drawings, and audio notes via email, or transfer them directly to your Mac or PC. Audio notes are recorded in standard M4A format: One hour of high quality audio is only 20MB.

I love Evernote and Penultimate, but if you are going to use the latter grab a stylus. It's great for noting down short items but with big hands and fingers you have chunky writing and quickly run out of space....

Still great for quickly noting an email addy, phone number, shopping list etc..

I haven't found any of the hand-writing apps to be very usable. I've been using CourseNotes on my iPad for notes. I like the organization of the app. There's a demo movie on coursenotesapp.com.

I bought an 64GB iPad a week ago, and I've tried 3 different note taking apps.
I like Penultimate best, since it's a Moleskin book clone....
But-
The iPad royally sucks for note taking. Not only do you have to write as slow as possible to let it catch up, but you'll never be able to write in between those small lines.
In short, you could never take notes in class with any iPad app. It's too slow. I hate it. But, luckily note taking was just a side perk to what i really bought the iPad for; TOUCH OSC!!!!
