I would have bought a Windows tablet PC but was put off by its size, weight, price and battery life. I thought long and hard about getting an iPad, but after almost a year with one, I have no regrets. I have used just one $20 stylus in that time (it's just given up the ghost and has been replaced by an identical one - I do a lot of handwriting) and have, I think, become very comfortable and reasonably adept at using "half baked finger painting note taking applications". My writing is usually done very quickly and looks at least as good as the stuff I see in those Byzero vids.So I purchased this unit knowing it will never be as good as a Microsoft Tablet PC, but it has to be better than the appalling experience you get with the current slew of 'Note taking' apps on the App Store (Note Taker HD, Notes+, Penultimate etc.)
I just received an email from Circus Ponies who is introducing a new note taking app called "Circus Ponies NoteBook". It's integrated with Dropbox as well. After watching the video demo on their website it looked pretty impressive. It's in the Apple App Store. It's fairly expensive as apps go, but it's pretty robust. Might be worth a look.
EDIT: Just noticed there's also a "Notebooks for iPad"...it's not that one...it's "Circus Ponies NoteBook". Kind of confusing.
I just had a look at the Circus Ponies Notebook, and you guys are right: it does look like a great app. At that price, though, they should provide a strapped down lite version so that one can give it a try without laying out such a big sum just "on spec"!
Kwatkins4 said:I have just downloaded Evernote on my iPad2 and for the life of me I can' figure out how to clip from a website as advertised. When I hit the various symbols, all I can get is something for photos and something that looks like it might record voice? I am stumped how to use this application! Thanks for any advice you happy Evernote users can give me.
