I use the free version of Evernote just in general (alas, no iPad). I love Evernote, although I can see a day coming soon where I'll likely have to find another solution, or pony up for the paid version (which allows you to surpass 40 MB of online storage on a monthly basis). I use Evernote to track pretty much everything I'm investigating on a personal level. I should say that I use Evernote in the same way that I use OneNote at work: gathering documents, snippets from websites, web links, and screenshots into one central location that provides superior performance to the kazillions of little notes I have scattered around my desk. The notes on my desk work great, mind you, despite their disorder. The advantage of Evernote is... I don't have to worry about traveling-to or sitting at that one particular desk to access them. I can access them anywhere.

It has been the perfect solution for switching back and forth among iPad & laptop (with access via iPhone a side benefit). One key detail to keep in mind is that for off-line access to notebooks, you need to upgrade to the paid Premium version. That's obviously not an issue when one can count on having Internet access everywhere one might want to use Evernote. I paid for the upgrade before leaving on a trip to Colorado. I wanted to carry a bunch of PDFs of reservations and maps and such and make sure I could access them even if I couldn't connect to the Internet. > > iAnnotate is supposed to let you mess with PDFs, but I haven't tried it: > http://www.ajidev.com/iannotate/ It lets you annotate and draw on PDFs with a pencil tool, as well as highlight and add text annotations. I find that I use iAnnotate, GoodReader and ReaddleDocs for different purposes because each has some unique strengths. -Tom -- Tom Donovan Chief Technology Officer Aptakisic-Tripp SD 102 Buffalo Grove, IL | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | Pursuant to Illinois’ public records law, this written communication may constitute a public record which is available to the public and media upon request.
