iPad: Notes taking..

This is my second month in using iPad.When it comes to taking notes,I have been using my traditional notebook all these years.Not only taking notes,but I write journal in my notebook.Lately I am using iPad for my business communication and I discovered that taking notes AND sharing them with my business associates are better with iPad.Not to mention,it is handy to share resources from my dropbox on the go.Today,I isntall Notemaster.

Taking note is a good habit but managing these notes is another story.To parents,please inculcate this habit among your children and teach them on why,how and what to do with these notes.

Over the last 10 years,I have used both digit and paper notebook for taking notes.Both have their own strengths and weaknesses.It is up to us to use which is convenient for any particular occasion,time and place.In my case,I don't leave home without my moleskine notebook.

At my age,my memory is getting weaker and I really need to take note on important matters that cross my mind,my eyes and go to my ears-not to mention what goes around in my heart.

I am new to this iPad and still learning to make the best of it.One immediate benefit that it took off 2kg from my weak shoulders when I go around on my business assignments.To those of you who are using your iPad to take notes,kindly share your experience with me.Thanks.

One advantage taking notes using the ipad is that you can email it and share it with someone. Btw , I just use the notes app readily available in the iPad.

Salam Pak Dib. It's been a while since I last commented. Haven't been reading much either. :)

I got an iPad a while back to use it to take notes in meetings and discussions, hoping to solve the paper mess problems i've been having. I also bought the pogo stylus and downloaded a few apps for note taking - penultimate was one that i remember trying.

the note taking didn't go well. i found it was too difficult to take proper notes using the stylus or the keyboard. i went back to scribbling on paper. but one thing i really love about the ipad is ibooks. i have a lot of documents (work related, magazines etc) in pdf and ibooks handles them quite well.

i recently decided to be a full time student (again), so i needed a better app to manage my lecture notes, which mostly are in pdfs and microsoft office documents. i found GoodReader a very good app since i can sort my notes in folders acording to subjects and lectures and i think it works with dropbox as well. :)

p/s: on a different subject, i would like to recommend iQuran HD. :P

Salam. I find that Remarks and the native iPad Notes are the simplest of the lot
