A few things to note here. If portability is extremely important, then your options are limited. There is PacMate which is rubbish hardware. It is huge and clunky. There is BrailleNote Apex and VoiceNote Apex which are sleek
but have a custom user interface but are highly productive. There is also Braille Sense. On the other hand, the best note-taking device I found is the netbook. These days, they are not expensive and they are extremely portable. And you can use NVDA for basic note-taking tasks and also internet. The iPhone 3GS / iPhone 4 with an external braille display / keyboard is another option. I am testing this combo and it works great. You can leave your iPhone in a bag or your pocket and control it via the braille display's keyboard. And PDFs can be read as well. but the hole setup is ridiculously expensive. It is better not to consider Android for now. the accessibility of this platform is very flaky at present.
