Hi David,

I believe a lot depends on how you take notes. If you're using your device as an electronic notebook but not really changing the essential model of how you capture notes, the app becomes nearly irrelevant.

But devices like this present the opportunity to fundamentally change the way we capture and process information.

When I take notes I use MindNode to create mind maps. I'm not a big visual thinker but being able to visualise your notes and manipulate them is great because you can represent both vertical and horizontal flows of ideas.

A quick power-tip is using markup in your mindmap. Use an hashtag symbol to mark-up any themes or interesting memes, and an @ symbol to identify any verbs / actions you might want to do something specific with. I wrote about this topic recently on my blog if you're interested... http://goo.gl/8UjQO

With MindNode you can email out a text outline. This is awesome, just by searching through the text outline for your markup it becomes really easy to harvest relevant information from your notes.
