I have had a Treo and used catagories extensively. I have migrated to an iphone (I know, I know) and was very disappointed in its native note app. I am not sure if the Pre has a comparable application but an app called Notemaster does what was suggested in another email. In it catagories are created and then can be synced to Google docs and then exported to your local computer if you want. Check in you app store for Notemaster or for other note apps. I thought I wouldn't like the cloud and the inability to have a backup on my own computer but syncing to google is easy and many of the things synced to and from your phone can be exported through google to your desktop.

Then, save that document (e.g., a text file) on your Pre. It'll be readable (but not editable) in Doc View. Alternately, save them each as a cell in an Excel spreadsheet and view them in Doc View. Alternately, alternately (probably the best option, actually), save each category of memos as a single text file, then import each of the 6 text files into Google Docs (online). That will be viewable AND editable on your Pre by going to Google Docs via the browser (which works really well). If you need a copy on your Pre that doesn't rely on Internet access, export it the latest version from Google Docs as a text file (or Word file or Excel file) and then view in Doc View. It's not ideal, but far from insurmountable. On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 11:20 PM, John Messeder <[email protected]> wrote: > Evernote does it nicely, albeit by a different name.
